A graduate of East Rome High School, Duane's commitment to hard work was evident throughout his life.

His craftsmanship and attention to detail were hallmarks of his professional life.

Duane was known not only for his impressive work ethic but also for his vibrant personality. He was very funny, bringing joy and laughter to those around him. His love of travel took him to many places, with a particular fondness for Greece and Italy, where he embraced the culture and history that enriched his spirit. He also enjoyed tinkering, always curious and engaged with the mechanics of the world around him.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Glenda Kathleen Rickett Logan; his son, Jeffrey Duane Logan; his daughter, Lori Kathleen Brown; and his granddaughter, Macie Kathleen Brown, each of whom held a special place in his heart. Duane’s passing also marks the loss of several loving brothers and sisters who preceded him in death.
