Mr. Douglas Darrell Eblen, Indianapolis, passed away on the evening of Sunday, May 24, 2020. He was 69. Doug was born April 13, 1951 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, a son of the late Virginia (McCrory) and Darrell W. Eblen.
As a boy, Doug collected baseball cards and joined in any sport that was going on.
After college, Doug moved to the windy city of Chicago, Illinois working at Montgomery Ward. He then moved to Rockford, Illinois with Sundstrand Corporation as a pension planner. All the while, Doug searched for God. God could make sense of his quest for truth.
Doug and Liz moved with their three sons from Illinois to Tennessee, Tennessee to Kansas, and then Kansas to Indiana in 2008.
Doug worked for Indianapolis Public Schools as a math teacher for 10 years. Living on a hobby farm, Doug developed a love for gardening and actually became pretty good at it. The best times of his life were watching Aaron play high school basketball, Avi at football and wrestling, and going to movies with Andrew.
Doug was very touched by missionaries Bobby and Sherry Burnette’s ministry to the Haitian orphans. He felt that was really what the Christian life looked like. They left home and family to serve those in the greatest of need. Doug realized that that is perfect love. That someone would lay down their life for the least of these.
In addition to his parents, Doug was preceded in passing by a brother, Greg Eblen.
