Paul "Duke" Francis Giraud, Jr.

Age 56, born October 7, 1957 in Ontario, Oregon.

Duke died peacefully at home in Everett on August 31, 2014 after a prolonged fight with stomach cancer. He was preceded in death by his mother Angie, and sister Lisa. He is survived by Jaycie, his wife of 24 years; father Paul Sr.; son Levi; daughters Kayla, Jazz and her husband Mica.

Duke spent much of his life farming in Quincy, Washington working side-by-side with his father in the family business. In 1999 Duke moved with his family to Everett, Washington where he started his own heating and air conditioning company along with his wife.

Duke was well known for his work with Alcoholics Anonymous and spent much of his life helping people gain sobriety. His outreach efforts included running meetings in prisons, holding leadership positions in a local AA chapter, and hosting bi-weekly meetings in his home.

Duke has left us too soon and will forever be missed as a husband, father, and friend.
