Douglas Bausman, of Decaturville, passed away at his home on March 24, 2026, at the age of 64.
He was born on September 10, 1961, to Richard and Betty Bausman. Douglas dedicated 35 years of his life working for Tennalum, where he was known for his strong work ethic and commitment.
Outside of work, Douglas was in his element tinkering, collecting, and talking about his beloved Allis Chalmers tractors. It wasn’t just a hobby—it was something that truly made him happy.
More than anything, Douglas will be remembered for his personality. He was the kind of person who kept things light, always ready with a joke or a grin, and never passed up the chance to make someone laugh. Being a “cut up” wasn’t just something he did—it was who he was, and it’s how so many will remember him.
He is survived by his daughter, Allison (Jason) Western; his son, Chris Bausman; and five grandchildren, who will carry on his memory. He is also survived by other extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
Visitation will be held on Friday, March 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Saturday March 28, 2026, 10:00 AM until time of service. All visitation will be held at Parsons Mortuary.
Funeral services will be held on March 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the Parsons Mortuary Chapel. Burial to follow at Decaturville City Cemetery.
