Duane was my brother and best friend. It's impossible to explain how much I loved Duane. He was always there for me in anything & everything that happened. His picture sits in my living room next our mother Marjorie's. I would have given my life for him in a mili-second. I hope and pray to see him in Glory with our Lord Jesus Christ. Life has not been the same for me since he passed. Losing a brother who was your best friend, he is just never forgotten. Our mother died on my 12th birthday. That was the worst day of my life. I thank God I had Duane as my brother until he was 67. Now at 74, I still miss him "bigly."

Thinking about Duane on his 77th birthday. Duane´s and my birthdays are 3 days apart. Mine is the 21st of May. I used to trll him that becausr Im 3 days older, heshould remember to show respect for his elders.
We shared many good times in HS and as employees of a 7-11 store in National City after we graduated from HS.
Ill never forget my ole "buckaroo" buddy ad he used to call me.
Duane will always remain in my thoughts as a Best Friend.
Forever a friend,
Mike Alexander

Although Duane may not remember me, I was a classmate of his from elementary school at Darnall, Horace Mann and Crawford. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. I would have enjoyed seeing him one more time.
