Douglas M. Stinson
March 9, 1961 — September 2, 2023
Douglas M. Stinson, 62 of Lake Charles, LA, passed away in Stafford, VA on Saturday, September 2, 2023.
Doug was born on March 9, 1961 in New London, CT to Walter and Mary Whitman Stinson. He was raised in Lake Charles and graduated from Lagrange High School.
Doug found a love of the outdoors at a very young age. He was an avid hunter & fisherman, and his love of the outdoors often found him at Toledo Bend, Sabine Refuge, or Lacassine hunting or fishing year-round.
Doug worked as a welder for over 30 years. He welded in the local refineries, and was a Worldwide Welder, where he traveled to several countries and various states before retiring in 2021.
Doug will be remembered by all that knew him for his hunting & fishing stories, his detailed duck drawings, and his amazing duck calling skills. Doug’s love of God, his family, and friends were by far his greatest joy. He will be missed.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, W.C. & Lillian Whitman of Lake Charles, LA; paternal grandparents, Elmer Stinson & Charlotte Zuckweiller of New London, CT; parents, Walter & Mary Whitman Stinson of Lake Charles, LA, and sister, Dorothy Jones of Moss Bluff.

Stinson of Fredericksburg, VA, Michael & Kimberly Stinson of Moss Bluff, LA, and Ashley & Jack Milheim of Clarksville, TN; 9 grandchildren that lovingly called him “Pawpaw Duck”; sisters, Donna Reed of Moss Bluff, LA, and Dawn Thibodeaux of Texas; brothers, Drew Stinson of Shreveport, LA, and Darin Stinson of Lake Charles, LA; uncle, Charles Whitman; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as lifelong friends.
