Chuck Duke

Charles E. Duke, 61, born December 4, 1962, passed away on July 28, 2024, at Marion Health. Chuck, a 1981 Mississinewa High School graduate and Army veteran, dedicated his talents as a journeyman electrician at General Motors for many years. His passion for photography led to owning studios, capturing moments for radio stations, and even exhibiting at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Chuck's zest for life spilled into his love for pool, fishing, disc golf, and the thrill of roller coasters and haunted houses. Together with his family, he explored the far corners of the United States, cherishing every moment of their adventures. Chuck's spontaneous soul and adventurous nature brought joy to all who knew him. If anyone defined the phrase "live life to the fullest", it was Chuck.

Chuck is survived by his wife, Sheri; mother, Carol; children, Amanda Harris(Larry), Gas City, Matthew Cannon, Jonesboro, and Heather Barker (Andrew), Pendleton; step-children, Raimi Adams and Alexandria Ingram (Arthur); grandchildren, Kori and Conner Harris, Colt Cannon, and Liam Barker; siblings, Marilyn Monk, Brenda Jones, Angela Trees (Steve), and Michael Duke (Shelly); lifelong friends, Edward Mitchell and John Fernung; and his beloved dog, Rufus.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edward, and brother, Charles Towns.
