Steven Alvin Douglas “Standing Bear” (Mató Názi) age 41, our Dad, Grandpa, brother, and Nephew passed way on December 13, 2020 in Wolf Point, MT. Stevie was born March 25, 1979 to Darlene FourStar-Gray and Steven Douglas, St in Wolf Point, MT.
He lived in Hays, MT, Billings, and Wolf Point, MT. He was a talented artist; in his younger years he did calligraphy writing by memory with Old English writing being his favorite. He made his own tattoo guns and with his artistic ability he gave many of his friends and relatives tattoos. He loved listening to music, cruising and watching movies with his family. He loved to go to powwows and was looking forward to taking his Little Man Michael. He liked to go house to house and visit his family. He was always good to talk to and was a good listener. He was always willing to help his family and anyone in need. He was always very respectful to his elders and everyone.
In 1995, he met Donessa RedBoy and together they had his only daughter, Shandarra Bernice Douglas, his “Baby Shan”, who was his whole world. He was a kind, caring attentive and loving Dad and Grandpa.
On August 16, 2018, his “Little Man” Michael Wayne Alexander Herrera was born. He loved taking care of him, playing with him and taking him outside to play. Michael’s face would always light up when he saw his Grandpa. He always made sure that they had everything they needed. He came over every day “just to check on him” and give him hugs and tell him he loved him.
