Donald Lewis Duffey Jr., age 72, passed away peacefully on the evening of

April 13, 2026, at his home in Spring Lake, surrounded by his loving wife and

children.

Born on September 19, 1953, in Macomb County, Don grew up with a strong

sense of family, friendship, and creativity. He attended Sacred Heart High

School, where he played football and began forming lifelong bonds. During his

youth, he also co-founded a band, Praetorian Guard, reflecting his passion for

music and camaraderie.

Don was a man of many talents and interests. He was an avid hockey player,

a gifted graphic artist, and a driven entrepreneur. Known for his lively spirit, he

loved a good card game and could always be counted on to be the last to

leave any gathering, enjoying every moment spent with friends and family.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Barbara, and his children:

Jennifer Bonnier (Troy), Andrea Capio, Michele Capio (Rachel), Cameron

Duffey (Kaycee), Michael Capio (Annie), Logan Duffey (Jamie), and Jourdan

Duffey (Camren). He also leaves behind 14 cherished grandchildren and 5

great-grandchildren, as well as three sisters and four brothers.

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Donald Duffey Sr. and Jacquelyn

Duffey.

He will be remembered for his warmth, creativity, sense of humor, and the

deep love he had for his family and friends. His presence will be greatly

missed, but his spirit will live on in the many lives he touched.
