Doug Jarry, 64, of Hudson passed away July 24th, 2025, at St. Joseph's Hospital after a period of declining health. He was born in Nashua on May 29, 1961, to the late John "Jack" Jarry and Fleurette (Plante) (Jarry) Rioux. Doug loved sports and played basketball and football in his youth. Later, he was a team member of D.J.'s Bad Boys softball team. He enjoyed playing a round of golf with his nephew, Carlos Disla, and friends, and he would say, "I'm not very good at it, but I love playing anyways". He was a fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots.

Doug served in the 82nd Air Borne Division of the U.S. army and was stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia. While enlisted, he performed over 1,000 jumps which he was proud to have achieved. 

After he returned to Nashua, Doug worked at the Bronze Craft Corp for 14 years in the snag room, then as a bench molder in the foundry. He eventually worked for the Nashua School District and retired this past March as an assistant head custodian at Nashua High School South after 21 years.

Doug was a member of the Club National.

Doug is survived by his wife of 29 years, Kathy (Kearns) and son Dan of Hudson; his parents Flo and Lenny Rioux of Nashua; brothers John Jarry of Hampton, Dennis Jarry of Nashua, Jeff Jarry and his partner April Hocut of Nashua; nieces Stephanie (Joshua) Goodman of Derry, Nicole (Sean) Simpson of Manchester; nephew Chris Jarry of Portland, ME; great niece Kylee Goodman; great nephews Jameson and Landon Simpson; brother-in-law Steve (Gloria) Kearns of Merrimack, Jean (Jim) Saytanides of Milford, Callie Kearns of Portland, IN, Ellen (Chris) Parsons of Gustine, TX, Arlene (Ralph) Boisvert of Nashua; lifelong friend Charlie Langlais; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
