DUANE WIDDISON DRAPER 8/27/1946 ~ 08/20/2019 Manila, UT — Duane Widdison Draper, 72, died Tuesday, August 20, 2019, while en route home from Albania, where he and his wife, Teresa, had been support missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Duane had a taste for adventure. In younger days, he enjoyed rock climbing, hiking, and exploring the wilderness. Early in their married life Duane and Teresa lived in the Virgin Islands, where he learned to sail. Duane enjoyed whittling, cooking, camping, and gazing up at the stars through a telescope he built himself. He loved listening to his children and grandchildren sing or play musical instruments. He enjoyed attending operas and other theatrical productions with his wife. Duane had a playful nature. His grandchildren knew him as “Grandpa Roar” because his customary greeting was a loud growl. The mothers of those grandchildren would often find he had drawn mustaches on their children’s upper lips with indelible ink. He enjoyed funny stories and gen- eral goofiness. He had a ready smile and was quick to lift your spirits. Duane was a kind and compassionate man. He loved people and lived a life of service. He was active in the National Guard for many years. He loved acting the role of Santa Claus for family and community events. Duane was an Eagle Scout and an active leader in the Boy Scouts of America for which he earned the Silver Beaver award. Duane was a faithful church member. In addition to his recent mission to Albania, he spent two years as a full-time missionary in the Netherlands while a youth. He also held a variety of responsibilities in his local congregations, most recently as bishop for the Manila Utah Ward.
