It is with a sad heart that we report that Michael Doughman passed away this morning after a 4 week illness. Michael died peacefully in his sleep.

The fundraising event set for June 15 at The Round Up will proceed as planned. His final expenses have been covered by private donations. All funds raised going forward will benefit the Michael Doughman Scholarship Fund. If you would like to donate to the scholarship please visit https://dallaspride.org/donations/ to make your donation.

Rest In Peace, Michael. Thank you for all your years of service to The Dallas Tavern Guild, so many charity events including Christmas Stocking Auction, Easter Basket Auction, and his contribution to Dallas and our ongoing tourism. Michael helped put Dallas on the map for worldwide LGBT tourism! We love you Michael!
