Not sure what to say?

I just read Dunae's obit in 2021 because I haven't seen Duane since around 1994 but Duane and I were best friends in the 1980's and i would ride along with him in his truck when I was laid off from GM my Mother loved you for helping work on her fence and stuff for her..we drifted apart when I got married and moved..I'm so shocked and sad to learn of his death only recently but Duane is buried in the same cemetery as my wife Kerry so i can visit him often..I remember all the fun times we all...

I will go totally insane without you, Buddy.

Why Lord, Why? I wasn't ready for you to take my best friend home. We had so many traveling plans for this spring and summer we were looking forward to it. Buddy when I see a truck driver I'll think of you, when I see a bike, I'll think of you, when I see OUR homeless guy I'll think of you (and help him again, and again, and again), when I go work out I'll think of you, when I see an animal on the road, I'll think of you. We enjoyed every minute we had together whether you was in pain or we...

May you be the beacon shining so brightly in the heavens so that I can see you every night. Love you and miss you dearly my best friend forever.

I am going to go totally insane without you.

WHY LORD, I wasn't ready for my best friend to go home with you yet. We had so many traveling plans this spring and summer. I prayed that you would take me first as I wouldn't want to have to go through the pain and heartache of losing my best friend. I call my phone I loaned him just to hear his recorded voice and now I have recorded it so I'll never forget his voice and will always cherish the special memories that we shared together. You will always be a BIG part of my heart forever. Every...

Was so shocked to hear of Duane's passing. My brother seen the obituary yesterday, but it was to late to go to the visitation. We knew Duane when he lived on West River Dr. He lived across the street from us and would come over to visit with my 3 brothers. We have many fond memories with Duane. We lost touch with him once they moved away. My condolences to his family. I know he will be missed.

I remember Duane as a little kid when I used to come over to hang out with Judy years ago. So sorry he had to leave this world so soon.

Brother, I miss you so much. I think of all the memories we shared. Our long talks and your Big Hug at the end of our visits.I know your with Mom and Wanda now and at peace. No more pain Brother, No more pain. Give Mom & Wanda one of your Big Hugs for me. Love & Miss You
