Duke was a proud U.S. Air Force Veteran. He was super creative, had tons of friends, loved listening to music, playing the piano, writing and drawing, spending time near the ocean, and watching his beloved Boston Red Sox. He was also one of the funniest people ever and no one loved Christmas as much as him.
