Douglas James Southwick
January 28, 1958 - November 13, 2017

Douglas James Southwick, Founder and CEO of Southwick Technologies in Clear Lake, Iowa, fought a long and courageous battle with brain cancer. He entered into heaven on November 13, 2017. During his illness, Doug found great comfort in his faith nourished by his upbringing at St. John's Lutheran Church in Storm Lake which provided the foundation of his faith.

Doug was born on January 28, 1958, in Storm Lake, Iowa, to William and Phyllis Southwick. Baptized March 31, 1958, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Storm Lake and confirmed there on May 21, 1972, he graduated from Storm Lake Senior High in 1976. He, then, went on to earn a degree in Economics from the University of Iowa in 1984. A proud Iowa Hawkeye fan, he attended many games with family and friends.

An entrepreneur committed to the "customer first" philosophy, Doug used his thirty-two years of experience with NCR, Alexander Technologies, and Kingland Systems as the foundation for his successful creation and operation of Southwick Technologies.

Truly a family man blessed with three children: Hillary, Harrison, and Halston, Doug loved his children and took great pride in spending as much time as he could with them. He will be, greatly, missed by those who were blessed to have known and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, November 17, 2017, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake with a Memorial Service at 7:00 p.m. The Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake is in charge of the arrangements.
