He loved his cats, and especially loved spoiling his two Schnauzer puppies, Bella Dawn, and Miley Mae who were never far from his side no matter where he was or what he was doing.

He loved taking trips in the RV with his wife, Kim and his two puppies, to the Mountains and many other destinations.

One of Duane's passions was riding Harley Motorcycles, and he owned many of them during his lifetime.

He loved Cars, Old Cars, New Cars, and Fast Cars. He loved Hard Rock Music, especially AC/DC. He was a lifelong Pittsburg Steeler fan.

Duane never met a stranger, and he was a wonderful person inside and out. His smile was so stunning that it would always light up the entire room. He had an unconditional love for his family and friends, and he was loved by all who knew him.
