The Greenville Daily News, January 2004


Duane Donald Fish, 51, of Big Bay, formerly of Belding, entered eternal life on 
Friday, January 16, 2004, as the result of a snowmobile accident in Champion 
Township, Marquette County.

Born June 18, 1952, in Lansing, the son of Donald Arthur and Aleta Hunt Fish, 
Duane was raised in Lansing and was a 1970 graduate of Sexton High School.  He 
was a Big Bay resident for the past eight years, previously residing in Belding 
where he worked for Electrolux.  Duane and his wife Mary were the owners and 
operators of Big Bay Motel, which they established in November of 1996.  Duane 
was an avid outdoorsman who greatly enjoyed snowmobiling, hunting—especially 
bear hunting—and riding ATVs.  He was a collector of antique snowmobiles and 
enjoyed a good game of football.  Known for his keen sense of humor, he was 
inclined to the “tease.”

Duane greatly cherished his family and friends and was especially proud of his 
grandchildren.  Duane was a member of the Big Bay antique Snowmobile 
Association and the Big Bay Sportsman’s Club.

A loving husband and father, proud grandparent, son and brother, he is survived 
by his wife, Mary Ellen Moon Fish, whom he married on May 31, 1966; daughter, 
Danielle Jo Fish and her fiancé Rob Anderson of Belding; two sons, Duane Arthur 
and Angela Fish of Ionia, Daniel Donald Fish of Greenville; grandsons, Joseph 
Wayne Fish, Malachi Xavier McCumber, soon-to-be-expected Dylan Robert Anderson; 
parents Donald and Aleta Fish of Big Bay; sister, Bonnie Lou Norris of 
Bradenton, Florida; parents-in-law, Janet and Calvin King of Cedar Springs, 
Kathy Moon of Sand Lake.

Funeral services are 1 p.m. today at Fassbender Funeral Home, Marquette, with 
Capt. Christine LaTourneau, of the Salvation Army, officiating.  Additional 
services are 3 p.m. Friday at Simpson Family Funeral Home, Sheridan, with the 
Rev. Kenneth Harger of Shiloh Community Church, officiating.  Burial is in 
Vinewood Cemetery, Edmore.
