Ronald "Duke" Adkinson

We very sadly wish to announce the passing of Ronald "Duke"

Adkinson, 77, of Miami, Fl, on November 24th, 2025 at 7:25AM. He

passed at home after fighting a difficult battle with cancer. He is now at

peace, but will be missed beyond measure. He is survived by us, his 2

daughters to whom he devoted everything. Brenda Adkinson, 53, and

Frances Eawaz, 47. He is also survived by his 3 grandsons whom he

adored; Benjamin Adkinson, Nathaniel Adkinson and Dillon Eawaz.

Duke was born and raised in Miami, FL, a true Miami native. He came

from humble beginnings, and ultimately joined the United States

Marine Corps. He met our mother, Kathleen, at the Hialeah Race Track

and went on to start a family. Shortly thereafter, Duke became part of

the Miami-Dade County Fire Department. He proudly served for 30

years, and enjoyed it thoroughly. After retirement, his favorite things

to do were spending time with his grandsons, and sitting on his back

porch with a cup of coffee. Duke was one of a kind; his humor lifted

the spirits of many.

Duke will be missed for years to come by so many.
