Duane was born August 8, 1932 in Arcadia to Bernard and Anna (Woychick) Kubis. His mother died during child birth and he was raised by his grandmother, Mary Kubis. Duane served in the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict. On June 14, 1958, he married Lois Speltz at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Winona. Duane delivered beer for 30 years. Following retirement, he began working part-time at Merchants bank at the age of 65; finally retiring at the age of 85.

Duane was preceded in death by his parents; grandmother, Mary Kubis; sister-in-law, Mary Ann Kubis and nephew, Jason Roffler.
