Sharing just one memory would be impossible I have so many, from you getting g me to rub lotion on your sunburnt head or feet to teaching me proper table manners. I was blessed to spend most of my childhood in your home, I love you uncle Duane and am happy knowing you are at peace with the other beautiful family we have in heaven ❤️ Sierra
Sincere condolences from the Wilson family. Duane was so thoughtful and caring to come to the hospital the day Steve had bypass surgery. He stayed for hours and prayed for him continually. I felt comforted with him by my side during our long day. I will never forget this wonderful man. May he rest now in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
A great guy, never without a smile. We would go out and celebrate our anniversary’s together every year, catching Devour Indy, downtown! He will be missed but never in our memories ❣️
Gladys, We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you. Henry & Kathy

We are so saddened for your loss. Uncle D always had a big smile, kind words and made everyone he met feel special. He truly will be missed.
May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. Our thoughts & prayers are with your family.
It’s hard to pick a single memory out of so many. I was blessed to have spent a lot of my childhood at your home. You helped me with my Algebra and taught me to always go with my first instinct because it’s usually always right. You will be greatly missed. Love you Uncle Duane.
Duane was a great family man, a friend to many, a person who cared, but more than all that he was a great man who served God. Now he gets to rest. Barry Smith
