Duane was born on June 17, 1964. His parents, Harold and Edith Graetz, raised him in Pound, WI.
He graduated from Coleman High School in 1982. He then went on to study to be a mechanic. He spent over 20 years selling Matco Tools, with routes in both Manitowoc and Green Bay, WI. Due to his diagnosis, Duane ended his career after working for two years at Imperial Supplies in Green Bay. He made friends with everyone he worked with and always spotted someone he knew while out and about.
Duane was passionate and hardworking in all that he did. He will always be remembered for his ability to make anyone laugh and his joy in helping anyone in need. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate that he is at peace with his creator.
