Duane Murray Petley
1950-2021
We are saddened to share the passing of Duane Murray Petley,
son of Jacqueline (Ebbett) and the late Thomas Petley, at his
homestead on Monday, February 22, 2021.
Duane was born in Rexton, NB and lived his life in Carleton
County. He enjoyed entertaining family and friends in the
sanctuary of his garage, whenever anyone stopped by for a
say. All were welcome and invited to come on
in.
Duane had a strong work ethic and would share his knowledge
and experience with others on the jobs he had worked throughout the
years. Duane took pride in his work and would always be
available whenever and wherever a job would take him. He
spent his last working years with Acott Construction.
One of his favourite activities was running the back roads
and trails of New Brunswick in his side by side with friends and with
his loving wife & best friend, Valerie, by his
side.
His favourite toy by far though was his Farmall Super
M.
Duane is survived by his wife Valerie (Thomas) and furbaby,
Maggie (or Margaret when she was in trouble). He was the
very proud father of his two boys, Karl (Rosalind) and Darren (Jaclynn
Kaminski). Aside from his sons, his grandchildren were the
stars of his eyes: Brent (Breanna), Liam, Rachael, Jayden, McKenna and
Hunter, along with great grandchild, Rian. These children
were all in on the freedoms allowed at Grampy’s house and
that their parents’ permissions were not
required.
Duane had received the gift of care and love of his siblings
from the start of life to his new beginning. He had the love
of sisters: Dolores Gill (Dan); Caroline Demerchant (Terry); Noriene
Caldwell; Carla Petley (Syl Amos); and Janice Corey (Ross) and brother
Danny Petley (Sheila). He was also survived by several
nieces and nephews. Duane was predeceased by brother in law,
Darryl Caldwell.
A most special thank you to Dr. Marco, Dr Chatur, and Extra
Mural for making it possible for Duane to pass away peacefully at
home, where he did it his way.
To his family and his many friends, thank you for being there
and being a part of Duane’s life throughout the
years.
For those who wish, memorial donations can be made to
Woodstock branch of Extra Mural Program, or a memorial of donors
choice.
Due to restrictions of COVID-19, there will be a private
visitation for immediate family only. We ask for your
understanding during this difficult time.
If you
can’t run with the big dogs, you just stay on the porch,
c’mon!
