Duane Briggs Sr, Philadelphia, PA—The sudden passing of Duane Briggs Sr has left his family and community devastated. On August 28th, Duane suffered a severe cardiac arrest that led to him being rushed to the hospital. Despite paramedics managing to revive him after 30 minutes, his condition did not improve. On September 7th, 2024, Duane’s family received the heart-wrenching news that he had lost all brain activity, and at 9:24 p.m., Duane transitioned, leaving behind his wife of over 30 years and six children.
Duane’s son, Duane M Briggs Jr, has organized a fundraiser to help cover the unexpected costs of the funeral and other expenses. Despite Duane having life insurance, the policy had lapsed, adding to the family’s financial strain. As of now, $175 has been raised out of the $6,000 goal, with contributions from Chris Ritt and Alijandrina Martinez.
The community has shown an outpouring of support through social media. Peggy Martinez expressed her grief, posting, "REST IN PEACE TO MY FATHER IN LAW DUANE BRIGGS SR. If anyone of my family and friends can donate that would help tremendously. Please share as well." Briana Martinez responded, "Oh Peggy… September is just a rough month for our family. I’m so sorry for your loss and heartache. I’m praying for you guys in this rough time." Other messages of condolence have come from Robert Martinez and Jacqueline Martinez Pisciotta.
The unexpected loss of Duane Briggs Sr has left his family in deep sorrow, but the love and support from friends and the wider community are providing some comfort in this challenging time.
