John 'Jay' Douthit
John ‘Jay' Douthit, 73, of Noblesville, passed away on Saturday, September 9, 2017 at home. Those who knew him will be surprised that the cause of death was not the consistently poor play of his beloved Vanderbilt Commodores football team. He was born to Loren and Irene (French) Douthit on March 18, 1944 in Indianapolis; and was a proud graduate of PS 84, Broad Ripple High School, and Vanderbilt University.
Jay loved to travel with his wife of 47 years, Susan. They traveled the world together throughout their blessed marriage. He was active with Edna Martin Christian Center and First Christian Church. He visited most of the golf courses in central Indiana and the Caribbean. Jay took advantage of his years of retirement after a long career at the George F. Cram Company.
The father of Eric (Jill) Douthit, Todd (Micah) Douthit, Brent (Anna) Douthit and Stacy (Travis) Fogg, he could be found at a number of sporting events, concerts and trips to the zoo with his grandchildren, Tate, Sam, Reid, Noah, JC, Jake, Ellis, Jack, Dailey, Caub, Luke and Max. He is also survived by his brother, Bill Douthit and numerous in-laws, cousins, nieces & nephews.
