He was an avid outdoorsman and motorcycle enthusiast. He was always the life of the party wherever he was and cherished his time spent with family and friends. He always had a smile on his face, a story to tell and a hug to give.
He is survived by his loving girlfriend Holly Fletcher; sons Jesse Duquette and D.J. McGrath; grandchildren Anderson Bagster, Jack Duquette, Ryley Varney and Ronan Varney; brother Richard Duquette; sisters Norma Davis and Lorenda Duquette; and many loving nieces, nephews, and friends. He is predeceased by mother Jane Forsyth.
