He was born Sept. 2, 1968, in San Antonio to Archie and Nell Vizena.  He is a 1986 graduate of Thorndale High School. Duane married Selynda Sherman Vizena on June 8, 1996, in Taylor. Duane was a husband and father that loved with his whole heart. He was a fiercely loyal friend that could always be counted on. His humor and quick wit drew many to him.  He was never far from one of his kids sport activities (or the concession stand cooking burgers). He was also an avid hunter and fisherman.

He is survived by his wife, Selynda Vizena; a daughter, Jordyn Vizena; a son, Jake Vizena; his mom, Nell Vizena; brother, Jerry Vizena; and sister, Amy Wenzel with her husband Chad Wenzel and sons Tucker Wenzel and Gage Wenzel. 

He was preceded in death by his dad, Archie Vizena; and his grandparents.
