Douglas W. Scheuneman, Jr., 55, of Oconto Falls and formerly of Munising, Michigan, died peacefully in his sleep at his home Dec. 9, 2025.
Dougie was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Aug. 22, 1970, to Doug and Helen (Woehrle) Scheuneman. His first few years were spent in the Bahamas until his dad took a job in Munising, Michigan. Dougie grew up in Munising and lived a childhood that taught him the appreciation of nature.
He played football and basketball for the Munising Mustangs and graduated from Munising High School in 1988. He attended Bay College and went to work at Wood Island.
Doug continued his career in waste management and moved to Wisconsin in the early 2000s. He was a project manager for Solid Solutions at the time of his death.
Doug had a deep-rooted faith in the Lord that was especially evident with the spiritual bonds with friends who became like family to him. He was even blessed to participate in a mission trip with a men’s group to Guatemala in 2018.
Dougie was a hard worker, and he took pride in everything he did. He had an amazing green thumb with landscaping (a trait passed on by his father), bringing life and beauty to what he touched. He loved to sing, and those who knew him well remember the warmth and heart in his voice.
Dougie had a lifelong love and appreciation for hunting and its management. Doug spent many years fishing and hunting deer, duck, and geese with his father, nephew and friends. He and his lifelong friend, Paul Cromell, had many adventures in the woods and on the back roads of life.
Above all, Dougie had a heart of gold. He would do anything for anyone, always putting others before himself. He had a soft spot for animals (especially the misbehaved ones). One of his happiest places was the Magic Kingdom at Disney World, where he loved the sense of wonder, joy and timelessness it brought him.
Doug is survived by his heartbroken family, his mother, Helen Scheuneman, of Munising; sisters and brothers-in-law, Heidi and Rich Prunick and Kris and Bill Tidd; nephews, Quest (Rianna Brothers) Tidd, Billy (Liz) Tidd and Richard (Chelsea) Prunick; great-nieces, Avery, Audra, Adrien, Julia and Evi; aunts and uncles, Sandy (Pat) Martin, Lindy (Ron) Borkey, Barb Schneider and Bob Schneider; and numerous cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Doug Scheuneman, Sr., on Sept. 17, 2025, and his grandparents.
Visitation will be held at the Bowerman Funeral Home on Monday, Dec.
15, 2025, from 5-8 p.m. A memorial service will be at the Eden Lutheran Church in Munising on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, at 11 a.m. with Vicar Elaine Robbins officiating.
