Robert Eugene Douglas

December 10, 1956 — June 26, 2025

Ruckersville

Robert Eugene Douglas (Robbie), 68, born December 10, 1956, was called to his heavenly home June 26, 2025, after a long, courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene Douglas and Betty Gilbert. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Katherine Douglas; daughters, Katy Maupin and Cornelia (Cory) Douglas; stepson, Donald Polson Jr. (Amber); and siblings, Betty Grymes, Carolyn Douglas, and David Douglas.

He adored all his grandchildren, but his granddaughters always knew that they had a soft spot in his heart ...and perhaps a few extra treats from his 3 Musketeers candy stash. He was known as "Pops" to all the children who came to the home. Robbie loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing and farming. He never knew a stranger and was always ready to help others. Robbie was a successful plumber by trade, but he was a Jack of all trades. He will be missed dearly.
