Duane also was a high school football official for over 15 years.

Duane dearly loved his family and never missed his daughters or his grandchildren's activities. In his younger years, he played and coached slow pitch softball. He was a die-hard Iowa Hawkeyes fan, and loved to play golf, travel, and collect antique John Deere farm toy tractors. Duane was an active volunteer at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, Jefferson High School, past president of AGPAM and was involved in many other community organizations. In 2019, he was able to take the Honor Flight, an experience he enjoyed very much.

Memorials may be directed to St. Mark's United Methodist Church or the St. Luke's Foundation.
