Duane devoted forty-two years of his career to ABAC, where he worked as a maintenance electrician. His dedication to his work mirrored his devotion to his family and friends. He graduated from Tift County High School in 1972 and became known for his warm personality; Duane was a people person who knew everyone and could easily strike up a conversation with anyone he met.
He cherished his family deeply, particularly his children Kisha and Matt Moody, and Drew and Allie Weeks. His grandchildren—Logan Rowe, Jake Moody, Josh Moody, and Aiden Weeks—held a special place in his heart, and he loved attending their games, often cheering enthusiastically for the Berrien County Rebels team.
Duane had a passion for cars and frequently attended car shows. He also enjoyed playing pool, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, watching westerns and sports on tv. His love for ABAC and his family exemplified the life he lived—a life filled with warmth, laughter, and community.
He took great pride in his membership at Carpenter Road Church of God, reflecting his deep commitment to his faith and his community.
Along with his children and grandchildren, Duane is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Freddie and Vickie Weeks of TyTy, as well as his sister, Linda Weeks Smith Hooker of Tifton.
