Lived in Donkerbroek (municipality of Ooststellingwerf). Son of Bouke Doornbosch and Janette Werdekker. Unmarried. Farmhand. Reformed. During the May days of 1940 he fought as a soldier against the German invaders at the Moerdijk Bridge and at Numansdorp.
On May 3, 1943, he was with his brother Karst and their person in hiding Friedrich Ludwig van der Riet on the yard of Andries Hartholt, when a German patrol arrested everyone they met on the Haarsterweg. Together with neighbors, people in hiding and the fiancée of Luikina Hartholt, both brothers were shot later that day at the radar station in Trimunt near Marum. The sixteen victims were completely wrongly accused of having set up roadblocks as communist elements during the April-May strike. The names of Jan and Karst Doornbosch are mentioned on the Monument Victims of the May Strike 1943 at Glimmen, the war memorial in Trimunt and the grave monument at the Dutch Reformed Cemetery in Marum-West.
