Duane Darley Maughan

PROVIDENCE, UTAH - Duane Darley Maughan passed away on Sept. 22, 2009 at the age of 57 in his home in Providence, Utah. He was born on Feb. 11, 1952. Our loving father, husband, grandfather, and brother passed away after many years of suffering with heart problems. He was blessed with the miracle of a heart transplant on Sept. 2, 2000. This miracle extended his life for nine more years. He will be missed very much by his family and his many friends.
Duane loved going hunting and fishing, and being in the great outdoors. He enjoyed working with wood and created many beautiful things. He was the greatest handyman around, and could fix anything if he set his mind to it. Duane was a very smart, kind, generous, honest, and loving person. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was enjoyable to be around. Duane was a great provider for his family. Right up to the end of his life he was more worried about taking care of his family than his own needs.
Duane learned how to work at a very young age. A few of his tasks involved milking cows, hauling hay, watering crops, thinning out beets. Duane was employed at Fullmers Mill & Supply, Spindler Construction, and most recently at Jardine Petroleum for 21 years.
