Duane Allen Whaley, 29, of Aberdeen, OH passed away Sunday, April 16, 2017 in Norwood,  OH.  He was a graduate of RULH High School.

Duane was born in Georgetown, OH on May 30, 1987 son of Janet Wilson Whaley of Aberdeen.  He was a landscaper and construction worker. Duane was talented as he excelled as a musician and artist. He loved the outdoors and spending his summer days with a fishing pole, casting out a line, and sitting back with the family.
