Summary
Doug Whitis, age 61, of Camby, Indiana, rode his Harley through the
gates of heaven on February 8, 2025. He was a beloved father, grandad,
son, brother, uncle and friend and will be missed beyond measure.
Doug was born on October 10, 1963, to the late Ulene Mounce in
Somerset, Kentucky.
He was of the Baptist faith and loved with his whole heart. He loved
God, his momma and his family. Doug would give you the last dollar he
had if you needed it, without hesitation and had a smile that would
light up the room. He enjoyed riding his Harley, watching UK
Basketball, fishing, listening to music, dancing and more than
anything, a good time. Some of his favorite moments were taking his
kids to the fair and fossil hunting at the lake when they were small.
Before his stroke he lived life to its absolute fullest and always had
a great time everywhere he went.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents, Ulene and Carl Mounce, four
brothers Roger Whitis, Lonnie Whitis, Buddy Whitis and Elmer Whitis,
one sister Randie Sue Whitis and a very special brother-in-law he
looked up to, David Hawk.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his son, Brandon (Sandie)
Haynes of Charleston, SC his daughter, Crystal Whitis (and Jason
Turner) of Camby, IN; Four grandchildren that he was incredibly proud
of Alison, Seth and Aidan Haynes of Port Clinton, OH and Jackson
Turner of Camby, IN; One brother, Robert 'Bobby' Whitis of Shopville,
KY; Four sisters, Sissy Hawk of Acorn, KY, Barbara (Leotis) Whitaker
of Forest Park, OH, Linda Whitis of Goodwater, KY and Bonnie (Pete)
Watson of Mooresville, IN. He had many nieces and nephews who were
very dear to him, as well as Alexandra Stanziano who helped care for
him after his stroke.
The family would like to express gratitude to Jason and Alex for
helping care for Doug throughout the years. There were many doctor
appointments and dreary days that you guys helped us get through and
we will forever be grateful for your support and unwavering love.
The family will release information regarding urn burial at Lakeside
Memorial Gardens in Somerset, KY and a memorial service celebrating
Doug’s extraordinary life in the coming weeks.

Doug I hate that I am typing this on here instead of talking with you. I’ll start by saying thank you. Thank you for standing by me through some of the worst days of my life. Thank you for sharing some of the best days of my life. You were my best friend before we became a couple. I miss your voice so much. I could be having a terrible day and as soon as I would here your voice it’s like all the bad went away. I remember the night we met. I seen your big beautiful smile. Then we hit the dance floor. Good times.
Our love if music wow. Talking for hours about one album 😁 I loved our shopping trips just to buy a special candle. Weekend get aways were always awesome. I miss you calling me Pookie. I miss you telling me “Pookie get over here and act like somebody!” Lol Or you calling me your Lil Elly May.
You once wrote me a note and it ended with “So much to say with so little time to say it.” Our time ran out before we could say everything to each other.
I will always love you Doug! Always! It wasn’t supposed to go like this. This hurts down in my soul.
Rest Peaceful Doug. You are missed by so many.
You will always be a part of me.
All my love, Leslie xoxo
Peace brother man 🤣
