A descendant of sturdy pioneer stock, Duane lived a long and productive life. He was born March 20, 1924 in Fillmore, Utah, to Fern Ashby and Aaron Wayne Robison. He loved the soil and the work it took to make it productive.

Duane was an active man, always loving the outdoors. He always appreciated and was thankful for the blessings of life. He was a veteran of World War II.
