Douglas Frederick June
Douglas Frederick June of Eaton Rapids, MI, went home to be with his Lord on Monday, December 1, 2025, at the age of 71.
Doug was born on July 26, 1954, in Ransomville, NY. He later moved to Detroit, MI, and graduated from Redford High School in 1972. After graduation, Doug began his career in plumbing in Detroit, working diligently to earn his Master Plumber certification. Over the years, he contributed his skills to numerous projects across Michigan before joining Sparrow Hospital and later Michigan State University, retiring in 2017.
Doug was a former member of Robbins United Methodist Church and a current member of First Baptist Church, both in Eaton Rapids. His unwavering faith guided him throughout his life and inspired a heart for service. He participated in multiple mission trips to Jamaica and disaster relief efforts across the United States. Whether helping a stranded motorist or gently ushering a turtle across the road, Doug lived out his compassion in everyday moments.
A true outdoorsman, Doug enjoyed hunting, fishing, hiking, and caring for his chestnut farm. He had a deep love for animals, especially the many German Shepherds he raised over the years, and he took great joy in feeding and watching wild birds. Gifted with his hands, Doug could fix almost anything and was always happy to use his skills to help others.
Doug also had a fondness for sweets, especially a good chocolate chip cookie. Above all, he loved his children and remained actively involved in their lives, including serving as a Boy Scout troop leader for his son.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathy June; his sister, Deborah June; and his parents. Doug is survived by his children, Kevin (Amy) June and Kristin June; a grandchild expected in January; his sisters, Sue (Roger) Blackwell and Lois (Kirk) Moshier; and many extended family members and friends.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, December 5, 2025, at First Baptist Church in Eaton Rapids, with the family receiving friends beginning at 10 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to First Baptist Church or the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. To share memories or leave online condolences, please visit www.SkinnerFuneralHomes.com.
