Douglas Jay Musgrove, 64, went to his Heavenly home on January 19, 2019 in Childress, Texas.
He was born on August 5, 1954 in Childress to Wade and Alice Musgrove. On July 11, 1975 he married Terry Lynn Hendrickson. They were married 42 wonderful years. He had a bachelors of Ag Economics from West Texas State and was a lifelong rancher.

Graveside services will be held Thursday, January 24, 2019 at 10 a.m. at the Musgrove Family Cemetery with Edwin Sides officiating. Burial will follow under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home.
Survivors include three daughters Tiffany Youell and husband Brad of Childress, Dana Friel and husband Kris of Canyon, and Alicia Hunter and husband Justin of Childress; nine grandchildren, Jordan Musgrove, Kaden Hunter, Cayden Youell, Caylee Youell, Alex Friel, Landry Hunter, Zane Youell, Harper Hunter, and Evan Friel; mother-in-law, Lillie Eaton of Childress. He was preceded in death by his parents Alice and Wade Musgrove, the love of his life, Terry, his brother Phillip Musgrove, niece Pam Lankford, and cousin David Boykin.
He went by many names including Doug, Douglas, Daddy, Poopaw, Dougie, Uncle Doug, and most of those were either preceded or superseded by Damnit. He was a real life superhero to his girls. He loved his family and friends so very much and they knew it and he made a point to let them know it. He was always the life of the party and was always making everyone laugh; either at his jokes or from his stories. He was a master storyteller and a pretty good BS’er.
He loved to shoot trap and skeet, and was a three-time all American trap and skeet shooter. He spent many hours out on the range either shooting or teaching others how to shoot, and made many friends along the way. He had a huge love for watching sports, and could watch basketball, football, or baseball all day long. He recently installed a second TV in his living room so that he could watch two games at once. He also loved listening to music, it was his escape. Most of all he loved his family who will be forever grateful to him for being such a loving and supportive husband, father, and Poopaw. His passing will leave a void in our lives that won’t be easily filled, but we take comfort in knowing that we will see him again someday.
