Douglas Marr Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 21, 2017.

Douglas Ian Marr. We regret the announcement of the passing of Douglas 'Ian' Marr on Dec. 21, 2017 at the age of 90, in Tucson Arizona. He was preceded by his wife Eleanor Marr (nee Buckerfield), his brothers Gordon and George 'Sandy' and their parents, George and Margret Marr. He is survived by his son David Marr, his daughter Jacqueline Hendrix, his grandsons Bobby and Michael Hendrix, and several nieces and nephews.

Born in Canada in 1927, he was a King Scouts in Boy Scouts. He was also involved in the Lions Club in Canada. He and his family moved to Arizona in 1958. There, he worked as a Civil Engineer until 1975, when he 'retired' to start his own business. He also was a member of the Shiners for thirty years.

A Memorial Service will be held January 2, 2018 at 4:00 pm at Grace St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 2331 E. Adams, Tucson, AZ

In loving memory of a wonderful, kind, caring person I had the great honor to call 'Dad'. Thank you, Dad (and Mom) for all you did. We will love you and miss you always.

Jacque, I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad going to hockey games and always taking the time to stop to say "Hello" to me. I never really got to know him well, but he was a very nice, kind man.
