Anakin taught for 19 years at John Abbott College in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue before retiring in 1990. Because of his involvement at the school, his commitment to his community, and his passion for outdoor activities, the school established the "Doug Anakin Scholarship for Outdoor Pursuits" which is presented annually to a student who best demonstrates Anakin's traits.

Anakin owned Doug Anakin Sports in Beaconsfield, a store specializing in outdoor sport equipment.

Anakin was married and had two children and four grandchildren. He died in Invermere, British Columbia in 2020 at the age of 89.[1][2]
