Robert Douglas Darouse

Bobby was first and foremost a husband and father. He spent the last 38 years cherishing his wife and soulmate, Carla “Dianne” Darouse. He also blessed the world with four daughters, Kristi Adams (Jeffrey), Amber Darouse, Shannon Darouse, and Brittney Howard (Dustin), and one son, Robert “Doug” Darouse II (Alexis). Bobby was blessed with seven grandchildren, Kalyn, Alexis, Mahlay, Cambree, Shaelyn, Shayne, and Torean. He is also survived by his brothers, T.A. (Gloria), Stanley (Sandy), Ronnie (Debbie), and Steve, as well as a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Joseph.
