Obituary for Douglas Edward Dauenhauer

Douglas Edward  Dauenhauer
Douglas Edward Dauenhauer, age 56, was taken from us unexpectedly in a tragic accident on Thursday, May 18, 2017 and entered into the presence of his Lord. He was a native Louisvillian who moved to Campbellsville, KY, 17 years ago, yet commuted daily to work at UPS as a Human Resource Supervisor. He was a graduate of Atherton High School in Louisville, became a Christian at the age of 12, was an accomplished pianist and possessed many athletic talents as well. He grew up as a member of Deer Park Baptist Church and then served along with his wife, Mary, in many capacities over many years while at Friendship Baptist Church after moving to Campbellsville. Douglas retired from UPS in June, 2016 after 32 years of faithful service where he developed countless friendships with coworkers who respected and valued his style of servant leadership, sense of humor, and his ability to show genuine love to others. His hobbies included collecting cars and antique fire trucks as well as authentic fire-fighting equipment.
Douglas was preceded in death by his grandparents Hallie and Joe Dauenhauer, Gertrude Penick Held, and infant sister, Donna Sue Dauenhauer. He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years Mary Bauer-Dauenhauer, parents Patricia Dauenhauer Pfeiffer and Larry Dauenhauer, sons Michael and Matthew Dauenhauer, siblings David Dauenhauer (Stephanie), sister Denice Cecil, Donald Dauenhauer (Theresa), 1 niece, 2 nephews, and 1 grandchild.
Funeral arrangements include visitation from 4 to 8 P.M. on Wednesday, May 24 at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road, followed by visitation on Thursday morning May 25 from 10 to 12 at Deer Park Baptist Church, 1733 Bardstown Rd. The funeral service is being held at noon in the church sanctuary with burial at Cave Hill Cemetery. Expressions of sympathy may be made to Sunrise Children’s Services.
