Duane and Faye along with daughter Chris and Granddaughter, Kate, moved from Saranac to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to be near family in the area. They continued to live life to the fullest (since their departure from Michigan 13 years ago) and kept in touch with many friends and family through the years, always appreciative of the support and camaraderie that had been cultivated. Faye preceded Duane in death 6-17-2010. They will be greatly missed by those who shared their love of life, their love for each other and their compassion and intensity to make a difference in this world. Those left behind to celebrate the gifts that Faye and Duane so selflessly provided are: Children: Jeffery D. Gates (Vicky), Crystal L. Gates, Lori A. Gates Crouch (Jim). Grandchildren: Sarah Jane Gates Pennington (Brandon), Kasey Frank Phillips (Chris) Jesse Gates, Hunter Gates, Griffin Gates, Katherine Gates, Jenna Crouch, Megan Crouch. Great-Grandchildren: Brody DeWinter, Ally Jane Pennington, Lena Phillips.
