Duane Wesley Morris, born on November 21, 1958, in Oakland County, Michigan, passed away on January 23, 2025, in Waterford Township, Michigan. Duane was a loving and caring individual who cherished his time spent with family above all else. He was known for his infectious laughter and had a remarkable ability to brighten any room he entered, always being the life of the party.
Duane took great joy in simple pleasures, including coloring, watching TV, and fixing things around the house. He was also an avid outdoorsman, Duane enjoyed camping and embraced the beauty of nature. He had a particular fondness for Chinese and Mexican cuisine, often sharing meals with loved ones. His passion for auto repair and detailing defined much of his professional life, and he found pride in his work. Above all, Duane's greatest accomplishment was his children: Geneva, James, Wesley, Katrina, and Deidra. He was a devoted father and a proud grandfather to Allie and Autumn, who brought immense joy to his life. Duane is also survived by his brothers, Eddie and David Morris, and his sister, Leona Morris.
Duane's legacy is one of kindness and generosity, always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who will remember him for his warmth, humor, and unwavering love.
