Peter Doumit

March 26, 1950 – November 10, 2018

Peter George Doumit left this life on Nov. 10, 2018. He was at home in Moses Lake, in peace, and surrounded by those who loved him. Coach Doumit was 68 years old.

Pete was born on March 26, 1950, in Longview, Wash. to Eli and Patricia Doumit. He was raised on a cattle ranch outside of Cathlamet and graduated from Wahkiakum High School in 1968. Pete attended Washington State University where he was a member of FarmHouse fraternity, earned his degree in education (class of 1972), and both played for and coached within the Cougar baseball program. More importantly, he met his lifelong love Faith Limbocker of Bellevue.

Pete and Faith were married in 1973 and for the next 45 years created a home built on love, laughter and respect. Besides his four children and 14 grandchildren, Pete’s door was always open to friends, students, players and extended family. Those relationships were built and maintained through teaching and coaching positions in Onalaska, Wash., McMinnville, Ore., Rainier, Ore., East Wenatchee, and Moses Lake. Pete believed that an educator should strive to develop the entirety of an individual, so as to best prepare that person for life ahead. He belongs to the Moses Lake High School, Big Bend Community College, and Washington State Baseball Coaches Association Halls of Fame.

A 10:30 funeral Mass will be held on Nov. 16 at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Moses Lake. In lieu of flowers, the family gratefully requests that donations be made to the Columbia Basin Cancer Society.
