Obituary

Dustin Lee Dougan

Age 42, a resident of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, July 5, 2023 at Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, after a long hard fought battle with cancer. He was born April 13, 1981 in Longview, Texas, the son of Paul and Kathy (Cauthen) Dougan.

Today we celebrate Dustin's life and treasure our memories of him. A true and faithful servant of God, who worked tirelessly to bring people to God. Even through his journey of fighting cancer he touched so many lives.

God and his faith always came first, but his wife and kids meant everything to him. Our funny, happy-go-lucky, and caring guy is now home. No more pain and suffering, he has been made whole.

Dustin was a member of the Center Street Church of Christ. He worked for PG Telco for eighteen years before his illness required him to retire.

He was preceded in death by paternal grandparents Tom and Myrtice Dougan, and his maternal grandfather Kenneth Cauthen.

Survivors include his wife Shelley Ledford Dougan; two children Parker Dougan and Payton Dougan; his parents Paul and Kathy Dougan; one brother Derek Dougan and his wife Suzanne; two nephews Bryce and Baker Dougan; maternal grandmother Dortha Cauthen; his father and mother in law, Donald and Kathy Ledford; numerous other family and friends.

Dustin always had the biggest heart, and loved with every bit of it. He showed Curtis so much caring and support while teaching him control with the basketball. He always had a smile on his face and a laugh you’ll never forget. So many prayers for this whole family, I know how loved he was and what a huge hole his passing is going to leave in his family and community.

Dustin was always such a bright light when he showed up for therapy. He made a positive impression on all of our staff, as well as many of the other patients that were doing therapy along side him. His hard work and determination were infectious. He truly lived a life that glorified Jesus and pointed others to what a true relationship with Him looks like.
