He attended Champaign public schools, including Centennial High School, where he was a member of the football and basketball teams. His love of sports continued when he moved to Tulsa, where he attended high school and collegiate athletic events.
Doug was active in the youth groups at First Presbyterian Church of Champaign, as a youth, and at University United Methodist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while his children were youth.
Doug graduated from Illinois State University at Normal, Illinois, and received his law degree, from the University of Tulsa. After graduation, he joined the law firm of Doyle, Harris, Davis & Haughey, where he practiced until his death.
Doug was known by all first and foremost as a loving father. Memories of him center around his children, where he; took an active role in their educations, spent summers swimming with them at Big Splash, vacationed with them in Colorado, looked after the animals that were a part of their lives, took them to shows at the Performing Arts Center and sporting events at the University of Tulsa, watched movies with them at AMC or their homes, comforted them when they were sick and was always there for them whenever called upon.
Doug is survived by his three children Elizabeth Hartley (James), Benjamin (Leslie) and Abbey; and two grandsons, Kaiden and Kamden, all of whom, reside in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is also survived by his parents, Roger and Fran Haughey, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; his brothers Bruce (Elaina), of Redwood City, California, and Jeff (Helen Marie), of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
