Duane R. Luse Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on October 3, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Duane R. Luse of Wilmington, North Carolina. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Duane R. Luse to show support.

As Duane departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Duane may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Duane leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Guy Luse and Hazel Greenfield Luse; and his brother Dean. He is survived by: his wife Alicia Wirkus Luse; his children, Cheryl Luse of Wilmington and Galen Luse (Teresa) of Charlotte; his grandsons, Tristan (Mary) of Cary and Sean of Albuquerque; and his great grandchildren, Caroline and Charlie of Cary.
