Douglas B. England
April 25, 1954 – October 6, 2026

Douglas B. England, of Talihina, Oklahoma, passed away on October 6, 2026. A member of the Cherokee Nation, he was born on April 25, 1954, in Claremore, Oklahoma, to Dan and Mary England.

Douglas was a man who loved his family deeply, and at the center of his life was the love of his life, his wife, Karen England whom he spent 33 years with.
He was a proud father to his children: April Bilbe and her husband Craig, Stefanie and her husband, Dewey, Jennifer and her husband, Troy, Kenneth and his wife, Rachel, Keith , Michael and his wife, Stacey, Debbie and her husband, Eric.
Douglas is also survived by his beloved siblings, Debbie Crank; Jack England and his wife, Jackie England; Joyce James, and Darryl England, sister-in -law Cindy Snyder, 25 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins, his best friend Larry Lanning,and his beloved pets.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Mary England of Talihina; his sister, Marilyn England of Talihina; his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Lickly, Steven James, wife of his son Keith; and his beloved pets, Kitty Jo and Cricket.

Douglas knew how to enjoy the simple things in life. He was a mechanic by trade and a great cook. He loved listening to music, watching westerns, cheering on the Raiders, and laughing at The Three Stooges. He was a huge wrestling fan and he loved his dog Buddy.
If anyone in the family needed to know what the weather was doing—or what it was going to do—there was really no need to check the forecast. Douglas was the family weatherman, always calling around to make sure all his kids knew if the weather was going to be rough.

Douglas will be remembered not only for the things he enjoyed, but for the way those things brought his family together. Cars became time spent with his sons. Wrestling became memories with his grandsons. Westerns and The Three Stooges brought laughter and relaxation. Horseshoes became family competition and fun. Cooking became another way to take care of the people around him. Even checking the weather became part of who he was to everyone who loved him.

He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and there will undoubtedly be many moments in the years ahead when someone looks at the sky, turns on a wrestling match, a western or The Three Stooges, works on a car, plays a game of horseshoes, or opens a cold Diet Pepsi and thinks, “Grandpa would have loved this.”

Graveside services will be on 2:00PM Friday, October 9, 2026 at the New City Cemetery in Talihina, Oklahoma.

Special thank you to Heart of Hospice, Choctaw Nation Hospital, and Leflore County EMS.
