Duane married Kathryn Kutlas on June 29, 1953, and over the next 11 years they had five children. In 1963 the family was devastated by the death of their oldest son, Mickey. In 1969 they moved to Brightwood, Ore., where he resided until his death. His wife, Kathryn passed away in 1986. Duane married Patricia Taylor in 1992 and was pleased to welcome her seven children and their families into the Brown family. While in Oregon, Duane worked for Honke Heating and Air Conditioning for several years, before going to work for Portland General Electric. He retired in 1989. As a young adult he spent his free time flying small planes. He continued the love of flying, but gave up the pilot seat to spend time with his young children. But always, flying remained among his most cherished memories. His other love was woodworking. After his retirement he enjoyed building furniture for his kids and grandkids. In his later years, he traded his large saws for carving knives, carving many beautiful pieces, ranging from small wooden Christmas ornaments to the altar for his church.
