Duff was born March 29, 1942, at St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls to Reynold and Helen (Wright) Leikvoll. Duff was raised in Little Falls, and graduated from Little Falls Community High School. After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army. He served his country from 1965 until 1967, during the Vietnam War.
Duff was united in marriage to Mary Pappenfus Aug. 27, 1983, at the Camp Ripley Chapel. The couple later divorced, but they remained close friends while raising their daughter, Tasa. He returned to Little Falls and worked for his father at Leikvoll Auto. Duff and his brother, Jim, later took over ownership of the business. Duff was an active member in the Little Falls American Legion Post #46, Little Falls VFW #1112 and Cooties. He was very proud of his military service. Duff was a scout master for over 20 years, taught firearm safety and was active with the Big Brother and Big Sister organization. Duff enjoyed visiting with friends at the VFW and Crowder's Station. His hobbies were hunting, fishing, antique cars and boats, stock car racing and putzing and tinkering around the house.
