Obituary of Douglas Ralph Mehlhorn

Douglas Ralph Mehlhorn, age 73, passed peacefully surrounded by his family at Regions Hospital in Saint Paul on November 22nd, 2023.

Doug was born on August 7th, 1950, to Ralph and JoAnn Mehlhorn in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he grew up with his six siblings. After Doug graduated Johnson High School, he started his career in the moving business with his father where he eventually retired after 40+ years.

Doug shared his love of adventure with his wife of 55 years, Kate. They spent their many years together traveling, playing in bowling and volleyball leagues, and Saturday date nights. Doug took great pride in his family and cherished the strong connection he had with each of his children. He loved doing Friday night pizza parties, trips to Duluth, and spending time with his many grandchildren. His family will remember him for his generosity and kind smile, which were unmatched. They will continue his legacy by spending quality time together as a family, to honor his memory.

Doug is survived by his loving wife, Kate, along with children; Michelle (Pat) Henning, Dan (Stephanie) Mehlhorn, Gregory (Nikki) Mehlhorn, Kara (Pat) Walsh, Mark (Christine) Mehlhorn, Katy Mehlhorn, Molly (Nate) Sarkkinen, Amanda (deceased) Mehlhorn, Timothy (Katie) Mehlhorn, Jacob (Anna) Mehlhorn, Brennan (Alyssa) Mehlhorn. Doug had 18 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren whom he loved and adored. We find peace knowing he is reunited with his daughter Amanda.
