New Boston - With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our dearly beloved David Francis Duda of New Boston, age 61. David departed this world and entered his eternal life on February 23rd, 2026.
David was born on June 8th, 1964, in Bad Axe, MI. Son of the late Arnold and Agnes (Murawski) Duda. He was wed to the love of his life, Susan Duda, on December 28th, 1991. David is also survived by his children, Danielle and Andrew, his son-in-law, Andrew Buckshaw, brother and sister-in-law Bill and Yvonne Brown, niece Emily, and nephew William (Adriana and daughter Mia).
David belonged to and was an active participant with the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed traveling with his loving wife and family, making wonderful memories of days at home in his serene backyard pool, as well as watching the Lions and Tigers games with his son-in-law and dear friends. Throughout his years David spent as much time outdoors as possible and stayed active through a variety of means, most notably tennis and pickleball. He was a happy, healthy man with an incredibly quick wit and extremely loving nature.
David always made time with his family a priority, offering unconditional love and support. He is dearly loved by many close friends and relatives and made a deep impression on everyone he met. Known for his strong compassion and undying loyalty, Dave’s number one priority was, without fail, his family.
