Douglas “Doug” Mark Trosclair
Douglas “Doug” Mark Trosclair, of Texas City, passed away on Friday, January 28, 2022 at the age of 73 surrounded by his family. Doug was born to Dazara and Margaret Trosclair on December 14, 1948. He was born in Texas, but his heart was always in Louisiana. Doug proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S Floyd. He worked as an electrician for Amoco-B.P. and retired in 2005. He was a member of the IBEW Local #527.
He had a passion for cooking and shared his food with those he loved. He was a ragin cajun and threw the best crawfish boils. Doug was a man that would give the shirt off his back and was the first person willing to lend a hand. You could find him in the mornings with a cup of coffee and his crossword puzzle. He always had a joke for you, and you were either going to laugh hysterically or say “oh my goodness” He was known by many nicknames Dougie Fresh, Skunky, Trash, Mr. T but his most cherished was Papa T. He will always be known for his famous words “whoop there it is” He loved hunting and fishing, but his grandbabies were his pride and joy.
Doug is preceded in death by his parents, Dazara and Margaret Trosclair. Grandparents Joseph & Celeste Trosclair and Edwin and Mae Hudson.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory, daughters, Brandy Perez and husband, Jeremy, Ashley Flores and husband, Kelly and daughter Chelsea Trosclair; son, Mark Trosclair; sister, Debbie Mantell and husband, Chris; grandchildren, Haiden, Kennedy, Ella, Cole, Cooper and Casen Perez, Adilynn and Wyatt Flores and niece, Jamie Boudreaux and husband, Blaine. He leaves behind many great nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts & uncles.
In his honor, a visitation will be held on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 from 5:00 – 5:45pm, with a memorial service following at 6pm at Crowder Funeral Home Chapel in Dickinson, Texas.
We would like to give a special thank you to Mrs. Dana, Mrs. Leslie, Mrs. Stella, Mrs. Ann & Dr Nuisi Patel at Mainland Center Hospital for the unconditional care, love and support during his last days.
In lieu of flowers, you may send memorials to the Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista or Texas City FFA.
Will always cherish our friendship and times sitting in the driveway solving problems in the world. People like Doug don’t come along very often. I feel blessed to have known him. R.I.P.5
God bless you Debbie and all of the family. I know this loss is deep and your brother will be dearly missed.
I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. Doug was a great guy! We spent a lot of time together in the past at BBQ Cookoffs. Doug always had a smile on his face and was always ready to have a great talk and solve the world problems. I pray that God will comfort you with your memories and give you His perfect peace during this difficult time.

So very sorry for your loss. Doug truly was one of a kind and I have many fond memories of him especially in my teen years. Doug, being the younger, inquisitive brother of my best friend, his sister Debbie, kept us at a times aggravated but still laughing and smiling at his antics. I watched him grow into a great guy who was opionated and the life of the party. May he rest in peace and my condolences and love to the family.
I want to extend my condolences to you and your family. May you look to the heavens with a smile on your face and know that you have an Angel watching over you. Doug Trosclair was more than a friend, he was family, I have known Doug for over 50 years and he was one for the most enjoyable & caring people you could meet. Doug stopped in our Grocery Store every day when it was “Howard’s Drive Inn”. He always had a good and amusing stories or pranks that would make everyone laugh. Doug was a very caring person. He would visit his Mother & Dad every day. Doug will be missed but never forgotten. From the Howard Family.
