Douglas Alan Chandler, 74, of Kenai, passed away at home on Feb. 25, 2026, from Vascular Dementia. Doug was born on Oct. 28, 1951, in Lodi, Ohio. He moved with his family to Anchorage in 1957, where he graduated from Diamond High School and proudly served his country in the United States Navy, serving on USS Midway-CVA. He lived in both Anchorage and Kenai. Alaska remained the place he loved and called home for the rest of his life. Doug retired in 2012 in Kenai.
