Duane L. Davy

Duane Logan Davy, 68, of Galion, was found deceased on Monday, December 26, 2022.

Duane was born April 23, 1954 in Wooster, Ohio to the late Curtis R. Sr. and Isabelle Z. (Collins) Davy. At a young age, Duane’s family moved to North Robinson, and he went on to graduate from Colonel Crawford High School in 1972. He played for the Eagles’ baseball and basketball teams and served as vice president of his senior class.

Duane had a passion for building and repairing things and had his own business, Duane’s Remodeling, for over 30 years. He always took great pride in his work, assisting area residents with their home remodeling projects.

He was happiest outdoors and did a lot of hunting, fishing, and golfing. Duane most enjoyed his trips to Wildcat, West Virginia and Belmont County, Ohio, spending time hunting and ATV riding in the mountains, surrounded by nature. Sharing his cooking and homemade wine with friends and family was also something he truly loved.

Duane is survived by his children, Daniel (Justina) Davy and Chelsea (Wade) Gottfried; grandchildren, Jameson, Tristan, and Audyn Davy and Will and Weston Gottfried; siblings, Mindy Ritzhaupt, Curtis R. Davy Jr., and Jan (Dave) Cyzeski as well as many extended family members and close friends.

Calling hours will be held from 12-3pm on Saturday, January 7 at Wise Funeral Service in Bucyrus, followed immediately by a brief memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Friends of the Crawford Park District or the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF). These gifts will be accepted through the funeral home. Expressions of sympathy are encouraged to be shared on his tribute wall.
