Durban attended Number-8 congregational school in Berbice, he attended Number-9 Moravian Church. In 1966 at age 21, he migrated to England where he gained a certificate in welding.

In 1975 left England to join his brother Scottland and sister-in-law Veta in Montreal Canada.

In 1979 while on vacation in Guyana, he was smitten by a young lady from Ann’s Grove Village. He pursued her relentlessly for five years. On December 29, 1984, he married that young lady Yvette Christie. That union produced two children.

He was employed at Vickers and taught welding until his retirement. He was known for his love for dancing and gesticulation while talking, debating, bringing good atmosphere to a party, and being a Mr. Know-It-All which made him never lose an argument. He liked to hang out at the McDonald’s at the Alexis-Nihon mall where everyone knew him. He was daring and blunt; he was not ashamed to speak his mind. He would tell convincing stories whether they were true or not. He loved his liquor, particularly rum at 3 o'clock in the morning. His nightly ritual was to sing and recite 'My Grandfather's Clock'. He will be missed by many, and loved by all who knew him.
