It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Douglass Forbes Wood, who left this world on May 11, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with illness. Douglass was born on November 5, 1933, in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents Andrew and Jeanie Wood. His life was a testament to love, perseverance, and a deep faith that guided him through every chapter. Douglass was a man of many passions, but his love for restoring antique cars was unmatched. With a gentle touch and an artist’s eye, he brought the beauty of the past back to life, often spending countless hours in his workshop, surrounded by the familiar scent of oil and metal. Each car he restored was a labor of love, a testament to his patience and skill, and a reflection of his appreciation for history and craftsmanship. Beyond his mechanical pursuits, Douglass found his true calling in the spiritual realm. A dedicated and active member of the Body of Christ for decades, he passionately shepherded God’s sheep, offering guidance, comfort, and wisdom to all who sought his counsel. His faith was the cornerstone of his life, and he shared it generously, touching the lives of many with his unwavering belief and kindness.

His courage in the face of illness was an inspiration, a testament to his indomitable spirit and the grace with which he lived his life. He is survived by a community of friends and family who will forever cherish his memory, his laughter, and his gentle spirit. Though Douglass has departed this earthly life, his legacy of love, faith, and dedication will continue to inspire those he leaves behind. A celebration of Douglass's life will be held in the coming weeks, where friends and family can gather to honor his memory and share stories of the joy and love he brought into their lives. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Douglass’s name, to continue his legacy of helping others.
