It is with a heavy heart and a sense of profound loss that we reach out to you today seeking your support in honoring the memory of our beloved father, son, brother, husband, and friend, Duane Charping. On January 31, 2024, My father left us, leaving a void that can never be filled. In the aftermath of his passing, we face the financial challenge of providing a proper funeral. Please consider helping us send him off.

A few words from me, his daughter:

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of my father Duane Charping, a man whose life was marked by ambition, passion, and a generous spirit. Born on May 16, 1971, Duane left this world on January 31, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that reflects both the complexities of human struggle and the enduring impact of selfless generosity. Duane was a man of contrasts, grappling with internal challenges, which brought both highs and lows throughout his journey.

Despite the internal battles he faced, Duane remained ambitious and passionate from his teenage years, driven by dreams of entrepreneurship, family, and a drive to help everyone he could. As a father, Duane strived to provide and care for his family, despite the internal struggles he endured. As his family we fondly recall his dual nature - a good man and a complex one. Those closest to him know that he could fall on dark times, and though we struggled with him in those times we also remember his light. He had so much light to counter his darkness, and it hurt to see him struggle throughout our lives.

One thing we can say is that he provided for whomever he could. I remember we were at a gas station and he saw a homeless man in a wheelchair struggling to breath with his asthma. My dad had asthma and knew this pain. He took that man into our home. He helped his illness then helped support him to get him on his feet. This is how I choose to remember my dad. We all have so many examples like this of his generosity. He struggled with his mental health and it wasn't always easy to connect on an emotional level but even through his internal battles he always strived to provide. He always sought to help those around him.

Tragically, My dads battle with his inner demons reached an insurmountable point, leading to his passing. As we mourn the loss of this complex and caring soul, let us also remember the positive impact he had on the lives of those around him. My fathers memory will endure through the friendships he forged and the lives he touched with his generosity. May my father find peace, and may his legacy remind us all of the importance of compassion, understanding, and reaching out to those in need. We want to see him one more time. Please consider helping us prepare him for a funeral then a party with everyone who cared for him as a celebration of life.

Thank you,

Lindsey Yancey

There is no shame in treating mental illness, it is as real as cancer, as diabetes, and it requires treatment. Please seek help if you struggle in this way. Its hard to know who around us struggles as its hidden so well. Check on your loved ones and cherish the time that you have.
