Douglas Ward McCoy

Douglas Ward McCoy, 64, of North Huntingdon died peacefully Wednesday May 29, 2024.  He was born October 7, 1959 in Johnstown to Ward and Arlene (Morgan) McCoy.  Douglas was a graduate of Ligonier Valley Senior High School, class of 1977, and went on to attend Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA later attending Marshall University in Huntingdon, W.
