Owen Thomas Duquette

Owen T. Duquette passed away on February 12, 2026, at the age of 87. He was born on April 12, 1938, in Toledo, Ohio, to Lucien A. and Corinne (Royer) Duquette.

He was married to Madelyn (Lynch), who preceded him in death in 1983. Owen attended St. Thomas Grade School and graduated from Waite High School. After graduating, he went to work for the railroad, where he remained until his retirement. In between, he served in the U.S. Army for two years.

Christmas was always a very special time for him to be together with family. He was a big fan of the Cleveland Guardians baseball team. We will miss him greatly.

Owen is survived by his sister, Ruth Ann (Ernst) Tepper; six nieces and three nephews; and seven great-nieces and five great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, and his brothers, Lucien C., Leo, Gerald, Jimmy, and his sister, Mary Lou Gargac.

Special thanks to the St. Ann Hospital CVICU and Ebeid Hospice Center for their loving care.
