Ionia Sentinel Standard, 12 Nov 2015

Stuart Douglas “Doug” Houghton, age 64, of Stanton, lost his courageous battle
with cancer on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015.  Doug was born Aug. 8, 1951 to Stuart and
Marilyn (Cahill) Houghton in Ionia.

He was a fisherman, deer hunter, and loved the outdoors.  In 1995 he purchased a
home on Dickerson Lake with his wife, Carol.  It was always his dream to live on
a lake.  When he was younger he coached his sons’ football and baseball teams. 
In his later years he enjoyed spending time with his family, going to his
grandson’s football games, and of course, the occasional drive to Mackinac.

He was welcomed into heaven by his parents, Stuart and Marilyn Houghton;
brothers, Terry and David Houghton; and other relatives and friends.  

He is survived by his loving wife, Carol; son, Michael Houghton of Kentwood;
son, Tom (Jennifer) Houghton of Ionia; daughter, Shelly (Dan) Wierenga of
Newaygo; stepmother, Shirley Houghton of Ionia; brother, Robert Houghton of
Ionia; step-son, Donald Shattuck of Ionia; stepdaughter, Amanda Shattuck of Fort
Myers, Florida; and nephew, Harvey (Annette) Houghton of Mesick.  He also leaves
behind his five grandchildren, Samantha (Austin) Darling, Tommy and Alison
Houghton, Jacob and Rachel Wierenga; and one great-grandson, Grayson Lee Darling.

If you would like to join our family to celebrate the life and memories of Doug,
we will be having a memorial luncheon at the Ionia Moose Lodge, located at 869
E. Lincoln Ave., Ionia, MI 48846, on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015 from 1 to 3 p.m. 
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Cancer and
Hematology Centers of Western Michigan, or the charitable organization of your
choice.  Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville, is serving the Houghton family.
