Henry R. Doane, November 1, 1952- June 17, 2025.
Henry R. Doane of La Porte was reunited with his daughter on June 17, 2025. Born November 1, 1952, in Hammond, IN., he was the son of Denzil and Melva Doane.
On September 11, 1978, he married Barbara Doane, who survives.
For over three decades, Henry enjoyed a true friendship and partnership with James Brashear (deceased) at J Amusement. Later down the road, Henry started Michiana Amusement, which came with many challenges, exciting growth, and many great stories, but also introduced Henry to the world of darts. Henry greatly enjoyed playing the game with friends and promoting the recreation so much that he achieved the title, "State Champion", and was recognized for the promotion of the dart leagues.
The stories held within the hearts of those he touched will keep his memory alive and filled with love and laughter until we meet again.
He is survived by his wife Barbara, son Michael (Catherine) Doane, grandson Ethan Doane, brother Robert Doane, sisters Juanita (Kenny) Quirk, Margaret (Jerry) Archer, 6 nieces and nephews, and 9 great-nieces and nephews.
