Michael Paul Doohen
October 27, 1954 - January 13, 2020
Michael Doohen passed away unexpectedly Monday, January 13, 2020 at his home in Sioux Falls, SD. He was 65.
Michael Paul was born on October 27, 1954 to Robert and Dorothy (Maher) Doohen, the 4th youngest of eight boys. Mike was born and raised in Sioux Falls, and he graduated from Lincoln High School in 1972. Following graduation, Mike enlisted with the United States Navy and served from 1973-1978.
