Duane was a 1973 graduate of Central High School and attended LSU. He was an avid LSU fan and Harley Davidson enthusiast. One of his favorite passions was coaching his grandson, Kaden Thibodeaux.

Duane is survived by “Daddy’s Little Girl”, Taylor Whitty; two grandchildren, Kaden and Bree; mother, Stephanie Whitty; two brothers, Rhett (Lynn) Whitty and Lance Whitty; sister, Inger Nolan; fiancée, Tammy Smith and numerous family, friends and his dog, Ryder.
He was preceded in death by his father, Daryl Wayne Whitty, Sr. and brother-in-law, Jim Nolan.
