He was born in Marion, Indiana, on Sunday, September 16, 1962, to Joseph and Marilyn (James) Eastes.\r\n\r\nDuke graduated from Mississinewa High School in 1981. \u00a0He served in the U.S. Army for three years and was a disabled veteran. \u00a0He received the following awards: Army Service Ribbon, Expert (Hand Grenade), and Sharpshooter (Rifle).\r\n\r\nHe served with the Marion Fire Department for 14 years and held the positions of lead firefighter, rescue captain, and captain of extrications. \u00a0Prior to the fire department, he worked at the Marion VA for 14 years with mentally handicapped veterans on the acute admissions unit.\r\n\r\nDuke was a determined leader and competitive, striving to be the best at whatever he did. \u00a0In his first year as a firefighter, he received the Governor\u2019s Medal of Valor Award and the American Legion Award of Valor for saving an elderly woman from an apartment fire and successfully resuscitating her back to life. \u00a0He received the Fire Chief\u2019s Award in 1998, 1999, and 2011.\r\n\r\nDuke endeavored to be the best he could be to serve and care for his community. \u00a0His continued education included becoming a CPR instructor, dive master, and rescue dive coordinator. \u00a0He taught free CPR and first aid classes at Mississinewa High School and to others who needed to renew their certification.\r\n\r\nDuke served Gas City 3-Way recreation programs for 15 years as commissioner and coach. \u00a0He umpired little league baseball in Upland for 14 years and coached every kid on the field.\r\n\r\nDuke was a member of the Tribe Motorcycle Club and was known as an all-around good Samaritan, going out of his way to help others. An avid hunter and fisherman, he enjoyed trapping and taught his sons to hunt and fish as they grew up. He also enjoyed playing golf with friends and was part of a golf league for many years.\r\n\r\nIn 2001, Duke achieved a lifelong dream of owning a country property in Marion, which he loved taking care of. \u00a0During the last six months of life, Duke became reacquainted with Kenny Cooke, who helped around Duke\u2019s farm.\r\n\r\nSurvivors include his wife, Sheryl Eastes of Gas City; sons, Brandt Eastes and Brock Eastes of Van Buren, IN; granddaughters, Burkli Eastes and Brixley Eastes; brothers, Joe Eastes, Brad (Shari) Eastes, and Chad (Sunday) Eastes; and friend and caregiver, Joy Boothby.\r\n\r\nHe was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Edward Eastes; mother, Marilyn Louise Eastes; and sister, Tracy Jones.\r\n\r\nThe family will receive visitors from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, Storey Chapel, 400 E.
