Duane, 91, Lima, died at 5:16 a.m., at Lost Creek Care Center.
He was the son of Benjamin and Beulah (Moore) Reynolds. On Jul 19, 1947, he married Vivian A. Timmerman, who preceded him in death.
Surviving are four sons: Duane, Jr., Terry Lee, Dale Allen (Jennifer) and Randy Lynn Reynolds, all Lima; a sister, Martha Jane Staup; and four grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Deceased are a daughter, Sheryl Reynolds; two brothers: Benjamin and Don; and a sister linked below.
A highly decorated World War II Veteran, he entered the service while just a sophomore at Delphos Jefferson High School. He was honorably discharged from the Navy/Marine Corp on June 1, 1946. He fought in the Battle of Peleliu and the Battle of Okinawa in the South Pacific and was awarded for his service to his country and the injuries sustained in combat three Bronze Stars, two purple Hearts and a Presidential Unit Citation. After returning from the service, he embodied what so many returning soldiers did in what has been called the Greatest Generation. Through his labors, he began building a successful civilian life, initially selling furnaces door to door for the Holland Furnace Company. Acquiring more and more technical skill along the way, by 1955, he was ready to start his own business, Reynolds Heating Service, which he ran successfully for the next fifty years. He loved his family unconditionally. He loved all children and had a special connection with Zoey, a granddaughter to Christa. He not only loved his family but their pets as well. Jack, Maci and Zoey were especially dear to him. He was a very special man, living a full life by taking the full measure from every hour, every minute, and every second. He, as has been often said, never met a stranger and made such a difference in the world. He will be missed by so many, including acquaintances, friends and, of course, his family.
Services will be at Chamberlain-Huckeriede Funeral Home, with Rev. Dave Ross officiating. Burial will be in Gethsemani Cemetery.
