Duane Coates, Apalachin, NY—It is with profound sadness that we report the passing of Duane Coates, who left us unexpectedly on Friday, July 26th. Duane, remembered for his kind heart and relentless spirit, faced many challenges throughout his life but never gave up on his dreams of turning things around.
Duane’s son, Zach Allen, shared that although their relationship was sometimes distant, Duane’s desire for a fresh start and his acts of kindness left a lasting impact on those around him. Despite his struggles and lack of material wealth, Duane’s resilience and compassion shone through, demonstrating the strength of the human spirit.
As the family grapples with this loss, they are also faced with the daunting task of covering funeral expenses. Due to Duane’s circumstances, no preparations were in place, and the costs are beyond their means. Zach Allen has organized a fundraiser to support the expenses for Duane’s funeral services and a celebration of life gathering. The goal is to raise $2,500, which will go towards these costs, allowing the family to honor Duane’s memory appropriately.
As of now, the fundraiser has raised $745 from five generous donors. Contributions include $500 from John Widrick, $100 each from Han Na Allen and Bella Elliott, $20 from Tyler Anderson, and $25 from Caitlin Collins. The family is deeply grateful for the support received so far and encourages anyone who can to contribute or share the fundraiser with others.
The community’s support during this difficult time is invaluable to the family. They thank everyone for their kindness, support, and understanding as they navigate this challenging period.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Duane Coates’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
