Doug was born on February 18, 1951 in Charleston, Mississippi and passed away on June 5, 2025 in Monroe, Louisiana. He retired from Coastal Chemical after 20 + years of service and started his own tire business, Marion Tire Shop, in Marion, Louisiana. Doug could be found early in the mornings in the shop and often stayed late to help customers. He never met a stranger and Doug’s smile would light up the room. When he finally would take a break, he could be found napping in his recliner with his two dogs, JJ and Scooby Doo. Penny was the love of his life and they enjoyed camping together. Doug’s favorite pastime was spending time with his grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, Charles “Griffin” Chandler; parents, Griffin and Christine Chandler; and mother and father in law, Chuck and Ruth Poe.

Doug is survived by his wife of 41 years, Penny Chandler; children, James “Buddy” Chandler and wife Beth, Kevin Chandler and wife Ginger, Christy Chandler, Douglas “Duane” Chandler, Jr.; daughter-in-law, Tania Lechwar and husband Chris; eleven grandchildren, Kelsey, Reagan, Logan, Madison, Cheyanne, Caden, Charlie, Allie, Wesley, Eric, Kevin, Jr.; siblings, Grady and wife Connie, Debbie, Buddy, Carolyn; sisters- in-law, Pat (Billy), Pam (Noel), Peggy, Polly (Billy); numerous nieces, nephews and other cherished family and friends.

Pallbearers will be Randy Peters, Jamie Chandler, Billy Wayne Poe, James Anderson, Trey Fulton, Peyton McKinnie, Ben Jones, and Joel Ball. Honorary pallbearers will be Dennis Kinczel and Gus Thorpe.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Skyler Antley (CCU), Alyssa Rogers (Cardio Nurse) and Emma Loyless (Palliative Care).

With deepest sympathy,

This is a man that made a quiet difference. They say to leave the world a little better than how you found it, and speaking as someone who finds it hard to ask for help or rely on anyone, Mr. Doug always had a nice word to give you or "free" air for your tires. He lightened burdens and never knew it. That is a special gift. He will be deeply missed in this community. He will be remembered in this community. He made the world a little better for the little people.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Doug was a wonderful person and always helped me and my family whenever we needed him. My Dad thought the world of him. He will be missed. I pray that Jesus will give all of you comfort , and Strength now and the days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Doug. He was always so kind and helpful. He will be greatly missed.

I’m keeping the family in my Prayers.. will miss seeing your sweet smile while delivering the mail to the tire shop..

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
