    We laughed about everything under the sun, but nothing more then my jealousy of his beautiful outdoor tan!
    My thoughts are with all all in this hard time, he will be dearly missed.

    Our heartfelt condolences to Duane’s family.

    I look at those beautiful blue eyes and I remember the happy little boy who visited his Nan and Pop Baker and Uncle George and Aunt Pam. His love for the old cabin down the bottom.

    May the light return to those beautiful eyes, may music fill his soul and may he find peace in the hereafter.
    God’s speed Duane, God’s speed.

    Thinking of you all.

    I am so sorry to hear about Duane’s passing, please know I am thinking of you all at this difficult time. I remember how much my Nan Baker (Aunt T to you) spoke of Duane with lots of love and kindness. I know you have many good memories to keep Duane close in your hearts and help you through this difficult journey.

    Such sad news to hear of Duane’s passing. Many of us have so many memories of Diane when we were growing up. Weekends of hiking, hanging out at Gilbert’s Store, teenage dances, concerts and just driving around because we could. He loved his children and wanted only the best for them. Mental illness is such a challenging disease for families and friends. It’s a reminder that for those who are challenged with it, to know there is always someone to reach out to. May you all treasure the very best times together and hold those memories the closest. Rest well Duane.

    Still in shock to hear of Duane’s passing! Always think of the better times, his good humor, contagious laugh and good spirit. Take comfort in knowing that he’s definitely in a better place now with no pain, anxiety or suffering and is at peace with his mom, little brother Andrew and the others who have gone before him. God bless you all and comfort you in this sad time. Rest in Peace Duane, may you finally and truly find it!
