I lost contact with Dea & Duane many years ago. I worked in Elkton for over 22 years and went past the development where they lived for many years. He was my best man at my wedding. Duane was a good guy and I know he's no longer in pain. Rest well my buddy!

" So sorry for your loss, Duane was a good man and will be remembered for his kindness to so many people. I grew up on landing lane and I lived across from Mrs Baker and would talk with Duane when I would see him, he would go out of his way to help others. His memories will always be in your hearts. God Bless

I am so sorry to hear of Duane's passing. He was such a sweet man. I remember the time I had to pick up Chris' truck and trailer and meet him at the river. I pulled up and Duane asked if I had ever driven a trailer. I said No, I am just going to take the turns wide. He sighed, looked at the ground and said, I will get my keys and follow you. He didn't say no, he didn't take control, he just wanted to be there in support. That is a wonderful man. He will be missed.

Duane was a good man and I remember how he took control, with Dea, to attend to the needs of family and friends when I had lost my own family member. He dearly loved his wife and children and everyone will miss him. My condolences to the family.
