Duane Allan Williams, 58, of Nashua, MT passed away at his home August 31, 2016.
Duane was born March 7, 1958 in Warren, PA to Francis “˜Bub’ and Elizabeth “˜Betty’ Williams. He attended and graduated school in Warren, PA in 1976. He went on to become an ASE certified mechanic and also received certification in metal fabrication and welding.
As a child Duane loved fishing, hunting, and playing in the woods but most beloved past time was spending time at his grandparent’s house.
In 1993 Duane moved to Gillette, WY to be closer to his parents. It was then that he met the love of his life Ann McGee. They were married on July 28, 2001. The couple spent 22 wonderful years together snowmobiling, fishing and pending time together with family and friends.
Duane enjoyed fishing, boating, hunting, snowmobiling and anything that he could be outside doing. When he wasn’t outside working on a vehicle or enjoying the open air you could find him watching old westerns or WWE. Duane ran his own engine repair shop and there was not an engine that he could not fix whether it was a lawn mower, tractor or truck. From the time he was little you could always find a tool in his hand or pocket, but most of all he loved spending time with his friends and family.
Duane was an independent spirit who loved his wife children, grandchildren and great-grandson.
