Duane E. Kessel
July 15, 1960 - Jan. 29, 2018
It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of the passing of friend and fellow bass angler, Duane Kessel, on Monday, Jan. 29th. Mere weeks earlier, I had the pleasure of talking one-on-one with Duane after he had come off the water from a day of fishing.
Little did I know our parting handshake on that occasion would be our final one--ever. Makes a person give due pause to consider the fragility of this thing called "life." None of us know when we will draw our last breath, but we all should live as though the next one very well may be the last.
Here's hoping, Duane, that the great pond up yonder is filled with nothing but 8-pounders. If it is, there's no doubt you will be one happy camper. In the meantime, please know you'll never be forgotten by those of us left behind.
Rest in peace, my brother.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018, at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Great Neck Chapel. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.hollomon-brown.com.
You will be missed chicken man. I will always remember you doing the chicken dance on the back of the boat
