Douglas Lyons Stansberry, son of John A. (Jack) and Margery Stansberry, was born on Sept. 15, 1941 and passed away on Mar. 31, 2020 in Brookings, Oregon.

Doug was born in Petaluma, but grew up in Willits, where he and his older sister Elsie were raised by their grandparents. As a teenager he participated in rodeo and horsemanship events. He attended Willits High School and was a member of the Willits Junior Horsemen. As an adult he worked in the trucking industry all of his life until he retired, having jobs hauling logs, lumber and longhaul freight.

He married Patricia Faye Brummel/Dixon and had five children: Clint, Sally, Michelle, Christina and Robert.

He is survived by his children and his sisters Elsie Smith of Hayfork and Diane Edmisten of Santa Fe, N.M.; also by his second wife Donna Stansberry of Longview, Wash. and his uncle Robert Stansberry of Honeydew. He has numerous grandchildren, many cousins, nieces and a nephew.

He was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Margery; his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. John Stansberry of Honeydew and Mr. and Mrs. John A. Bondeson of Willits; his uncle Lee (Bud) Stansberry of Harris; his aunt Betty Walsh of San Francisco; his wife Patricia; and sister Leah Jean.

We will miss his charm and good-natured joking.

Internment and graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. on Aug. 7, 2020 in the Bullcreek Pioneer Cemetery, Bullcreek.
