Timothy Ducey Obituary

Tad Ducey, a lifelong resident of Yucca Valley, left this world to be with the Lord on April 23, 2025. He was 65.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Lomay and brothers Mike and Randy.
He leaves behind Susan DeCastro, his partner; his son, James Ducey, of Florida; his daughter, Jennifer, of Ohio; and many grandchildren.
Tad was a heavy equipment operator by trade and enjoyed keeping his many friends' yards beautiful.
He enjoyed riding his motorcycles in the desert and helping his high school friend Jim repair many motorcycles. He enjoyed telling stories about Yucca and how it used to be when growing up.
Tad never knew the word "no" when it came to helping someone out.
He was a member of AA for 33 years and inspired those who came through the door for the first time.
He will be missed always in so many ways.
There will be a celebration of life at 1 p.m. June 28 at 55673 Santa Fe Trail at Victory Life Chapel. Come and celebrate Tad's life.
