Duke Steiner Obituary
Cincinnati - Although the earth has lost an amazingly kind soul, heaven has gained one of the sweetest humans. Duke Albert Steiner, born on June 17, 1999, passed away July 11, 2019. We know he is playing a round of poker with his late father, Rick Steiner, looking down on us together. Duke was a graduate of Indian Hill High School in Cincinnati, and was attending Indiana University, where he was a member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. Duke was a gentle, sweet young man with unrivaled wit and infectious charisma. He put a smile on everyone's face with whom he came in contact. He will be deeply missed. He loved the outdoors, spending time with his friends, family, and of course, his hometown Cincinnati Reds. Duke is survived by his beloved brother, Ace, his mother Rachel Janeice Steiner, sister Jaclyn Montgomery, as well as his cousins Joey Steiner, Ricky Steiner, and Meredith Steiner-Burns, and his Aunt and Uncle Ellen and Corky Steiner. Services Weil Funeral Home, 8350 Cornell Road, Monday, July 15, 1:00 P.M. Visitation begins at the funeral home at 12:00 Noon.

I attended Duke's funeral. Met many of Duke's friends, he was loved by many of his peers. His Mother, Rachel, along with his Dad, were the premiere Broadway producers. Rachel and I had a special bond. We planned to produce a movie; however, after Duke's death, she lost the will to do anything. She was very proud of her son and rightfully so. A great student and a best friend of the family. He is missed by many.

I never met Duke. I did know his Mom and Dad and can therefore I know that Duke and Jaclyn were brought up in a loving family. I miss Rachel so much.
Jaclyn, if you read this, please text or call me at 317.514.7537

Duke, I attended your moment of final rest. The number of friends that were in attendance only shows how loved and important you were in their lives. Your wonderful Mom is in pain, so please from Heaven give her solace. Love, Mike

I met Duke in Tucson, about a year ago. We were both going through different experiences and were on completely different life tracks. However, he became one of my closest friends. Every time we were together, I remember simultaneously rolling my eyes at his jokes while laughing hysterically. Duke had the most magnetic energy and you could literally feel the room shift every time he walked in. He was funny, charming, and spirited. But he also had a really big heart. He cared about people, especially his friends, and wanted them to do well in life.
Miss you, Duke. Rest In Peace.
