Duane attended Brighton High School, and graduated from Jordan High school. He was married to Phyllis Carney and had three children: Kristina, DJ, and Kelly Hawker, they later divorced. He married the love of his life Lori Cannon on May 30, 2002.
Our dad was a true outdoorsman, he loved being outside. He enjoyed camping, fishing and pretty much anything that had to do with the mountains. Our father would sit in his chair on his patio where birds would come to visit him. He would have his daughter buy peanuts so he could feed his friends, the blue jays. He was a kind and quiet man but he had the biggest heart! He will be missed deeply.
Preceded in death by his wife Lori, his parents, brother Robert Hawker, and nieces Tina Hawker, Lynette Hawker, Tessa Harrington.
