Robert and Shirley (Powers) Ossman in Oxford, North Carolina. Through Doug’s younger years, he moved around with his family frequently and he later attended school in Galva, Iowa. Following school, Doug lived in the Tama/Toledo area before settling in Marshalltown in 1999. Doug worked for many years at O’Riley’s Auto Parts in Marshalltown before he began a job in 2012 at Clemons Chevrolet as their parts consultant. Doug recently celebrated his 10 years with the company. In his free time, Doug loved to ride his Kawasaki touring bike with his friends, loved to take his motorhome up to Ida Grove to visit his family on the weekends, relax in the hot tub and sip on some Bud Lights, going to concerts listening to music, spend time with his dog, and take trips to Dairy Queen for chocolate milkshakes. His favorite time of the year was the fourth of July and he enjoyed lighting off fireworks, grilling with family and friends. He enjoyed life to the fullest and loved his family. Those left to remember and cherish his memory are his brother, Wes (Diana) Ossman; his nephew, Rocky Ossman; his great-nieces, Kyra and Chloe Rudolph; his great-nephew, Dane Ossman; special nieces, Jennifer Hoffman and Teresa Rudolph; his good friends, Brian and Teresa Arrowood; his dog, Tucker; along with several cousins and numerous friends and co- workers. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Shirley Ossman and his furry four-legged companion Max.
