Douglas Dwyer — UPDATED
Douglas Dwyer, of Chicago, and formerly of Warsaw, passed away unexpectedly at Endeavor Health in Evanston, Ill., on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024. He was born to Paul and Sondra “Sonnie” Dwyer on Nov. 20, 1966, in Marion.
He graduated from Warsaw Community High School in 1985. Douglas continued his academic journey at Hanover College and Indiana University. Douglas dedicated his career as an AR specialist at Innovative Management Solutions.
Douglas was an avid traveler, embracing the opportunity to backpack across many European countries, an experience that enriched his perspective and appreciation for different cultures. He loved to travel to South America, wanting to retire in Ecuador. His love for reading was matched only by his passion for service; he was a devoted Catholic, actively participating in various outreach Bible studies and generously serving as a missionary.
Beyond his professional and spiritual endeavors, Douglas had a creative spirit. He enjoyed watercolor painting and was skilled at several board games, particularly chess, where his strategic thinking shone brightly.
Douglas is survived by his mother, Sonnie Dwyer, of Chapman Lake; his siblings, Jeff (Angie) Dwyer, of Silver Lake, Greg (Becky) Dwyer, of Lake, Mich., and Lori (Ray) Horney-Marple, of Chapman Lake. His memory will be cherished by several nieces and nephews, including Amber (AJ) Hicks, Tiffany Moore, Justin (Katherine) Dwyer, Heather (Tommy) Shaffer, Sara (David Sante) Dwyer, Jordan (Desiree) Horney and Lauren (Cody) Cyr.
Douglas was preceded in death by his father, Paul “PD” Dwyer; his grandparents, Dave and Mary Dwyer and Paul and Gerri King; and his brother-in-law, Scott Horney.
