Joshua Peter Douglas

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joshua Peter Douglas, who was called home on Sunday, November 12, 2023. Josh, as he was fondly called by family and friends, was born 36 years ago to Peter and Jeannette Douglas on August 8, 1987, in Hammond, IN. Although Josh had an arduous journey over the years, we find comfort in knowing he is at peace in Heaven. Despite his struggles, he was a good person and had a beautiful soul. The Lord felt it was time for him to be called home and be reunited with those who have passed before him: paternal grandfather, John “Papou” Douglas; and maternal grandparents, Tom and Dixie Ewing. Josh is survived by his loving parents, Peter and Jeannette Douglas; sister, Gabrielle (Grant) Hawkins; paternal grandmother, “Yiayia” Elaine Douglas; maternal grandmother, Eleanor Haller; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. A visitation will be held to remember Joshua’s life from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 18, 2023. Visitation will be held at Hack Funeral Home located at 753 Hodges St., Beecher, IL. Joshua’s uncle, Pastor Tom Ewing Jr, will hold a memorial service at 2:00 pm. Monetary donations can be made in Joshua’s name to St. Luke’s United Church of Christ.
