Douglas Murray Mosier

Douglas Mosier of Red Deer passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Friday, January 9, 2026, at the age of 63.

Doug was a longtime resident of Michener Centre in Red Deer, where he lived for 59 years. He was deeply cherished and well-known not only among his fellow residents, group home staff, and the broader Michener community, but also among the aquatics staff at the nearby Michener Aquatic Centre. Doug was a true inspiration to everyone who knew him—he reminded us all to laugh often, to cherish the simple joys in life, and to approach each day with positivity and heart.

With his wonderful sense of humour, Doug could light up any room and bring smiles to those around him. He was incredibly funny, possessed a strong work ethic, and held deep love for his family and friends. Intuitive, kind, and famously stubborn in the most endearing way, Doug also had a special talent for dancing—his Elvis routines at the Friday night dances at Michener were legendary and unforgettable!

Sundays spent together with Doug were always an adventure, as two generations grew up alongside him, creating countless cherished stories and memories that will live on forever.

Doug is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Wendy Mosier and Debbie Berlinguette; and his nieces and nephews, Tim (Tarah) Baergen, Colin (Taylor) Bouteiller, Mackenzie (Justin) Ritchie, Amy (Justin) Berlinguette, and Kaylin Berlinguette.

He was predeceased by his parents, Brenda and Gordon Gross; his father Gordon Mosier and his brother-in-law, Mark Berlinguette.

The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff at Michener Centre. There are so many special individuals—too many to name—who provided Doug with exceptional care and the highest quality of life throughout his years there. We are deeply grateful.

In celebration of a life well lived, the family invites friends, community members, and all who knew Doug to join us for a dance and pizza party, at Michener Recreation Centre, on Friday, January 30, 2026 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.

Doug’s spirit, joy, and unbreakable spirit will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, dear Doug.
