Prayers for the Repose of the Soul of my Cousin, Charley Doran

Posted on 12/29/2011 5:55:42 PM PST by ConorMacNessa



CHARLES MICHAEL DORAN

"THE BIG GUY - TOUGHER THAN 10 MEN - DORAN" passed away on Sunday, December 18, 2011, with his family by his side at his home in Falls Church, VA after battling a long illness. Charles was born on November 6, 1947 in Washington, DC and grew up in Bethesda, MD. He is survived by his wife, Kathy Poff Doran (Kat or "Hunbunch"); his two sons, Charles Michael Doran ("CB") and Sean Patrick Doran (Speedie); his sister, Ann Marie Lynott; two nieces, Marita and Monica Lynott; and his Poff Family - five sisters-in-law (Patty, Sandra, Carolyn, Cindy and Pat, each of whom was his favorite); two brothers-in-law (Charles and Marty); 12 nieces and nephews and 17 great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom loved him and his colorful ways with all their hearts. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry Leo Doran and Agnes Rose Sullivan, and they are now welcoming him into heaven.

Charles graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School where he excelled in sports, especially football. He attended Northwestern University and then enlisted in the U.S. Army Paratroopers during the Vietnam War. In addition to jumping out of planes, he had other "extreme" jobs, which included deep-sea diving off the Gulf Coast. Charles next worked for Melka Marine Construction, where he worked on the DC waterfront and continued diving. For 15 years he was employed at Super Concrete Corporation. He then moved to Dyna Corporation, from which he retired in 2006, when he fell ill.

There will be a Visitation at Everly Community Funeral Home, 6161 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22044, on Thursday, December 29 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mass will be held on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, 3305 Glen Carlyn Rd., Falls Church, VA 22041 with a graveside service and inurnment to follow at 2 p.m. at Arlington National Cemetery.

My cousin Charley Doran was a star athlete at BCC High School and, when the time came, he stepped up to the plate and became a Paratrooper in the U.S. Army. He was a great American.

I will miss him very much.

I just noted the BCC mention. I shot in the rifle range there in the 70’s. And again, condolences on your loss.

God our Father,

Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.
