Chris Wawro says:
Duane was an excellent musician and friend. A friendship forged long ago via our love of music during our high school days as we were in a rock band called “Black Myriah” and another called “The Void”. Great memories and great times making our ears ring! R.I.P. brother Duane.
Nancy McGrath says:
We are so sorry for all of you and thinking and praying for you at this time of such great loss and heartbreak. Life is so short and precious, but really the start of our story of eternal life. Duane has been launched into his eternal reward and we celebrate having been able to share a part of his earthly life! God bless you all!
