Duane grew up in Harlingen, i.e. “The Valley” of Southern Texas. He was a first-generation college graduate and earned his Bachelor of Science from School of The Ozarks in 1988. Duane had a thirty-five year career in business analytics and transportation logistics.
Duane was an avid fan of cinema, notably a self-proclaimed 1980’s movie expert. He enjoyed spending time with his family, often cooking enough so everyone had leftovers (whether they wanted them or not). He was a dedicated friend, neighbor, brother, son, father, and loving (albeit reluctant) cat owner.
He was preceded in death by his father, Taylor Clayton Westbrook and brother, David Westbrook.
Duane is survived by his mother, Gerry Westbrook of Rogers; son, Austin Westbrook of Rogers; daughter, Lauren Westbrook of Kansas; sisters, Kay Jones of California and Deanne Ritchie of Rogers; Aunt and Uncle, Norma and Bob Satterlee (pseudo parents) and nephew, Taylor Schneider (pseudo son).
