Dr. Earl P. Duffy Jr. (Duff), a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024 at the age of 70.
He was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois to Earl Senior and Lucille Duffy. After Duff graduated Dental School from Northwestern University he moved to Mesa, Arizona in 1980 to begin his dental practice. This is where he would meet and marry the love of his life. They went on to raise a beautiful family.
He loved to go fishing with his sons, woodworking, fix anything that was broken, and spend time in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Duff was a shining example of kindness and generosity. His infectious enthusiasm, humor, and ability to light up a room made him the life of any gathering. Duff's impact on the world was immeasurable. His passion for his loved ones and his profession was evident in everything he did. He was a constant source of positivity, inspiration, and support to those around him. His laughter was contagious, and his genuine kindness knew no bounds.
Duff is survived by his loving wife Debbie of 42 years, three sons Ian, Kyle, and Shaun, three daughters-in-law Brooke, Rachel, and Alicia and his five granddaughters Rylee, Reagan, Reese, Clara, and Layla.
Duff will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of kindness, humor, and generosity will live on in the hearts of many.
A celebration of Duff's life will be held on Saturday, September 14th at 10 am at Central Christian Church 933 N. Lindsay Road, Mesa AZ 85213.
