Arthur Duane May

Long time Walla Walla resident, Arthur Duane May, passed away peacefully on February 28, 2020 at Park Manor.  He was born May 19, 1947 to Margaret and Edward Lee May.  Duane was a graduate of DeSales High School and Oregon State University.  He served in the United States Army First Cavalry Division in Vietnam and worked for the Washington State Penitentiary.

Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend was a man of varied talents and interests.  Duane was a basketball player, an artist, a journalist, and a wicked drummer.  He loved animals, especially his Yorkie, Bimbo and his cat, KC. Duane was a classic car enthusiast who treasured his black cherry (not purple!) ‘68 Camaro.  Our “Lucky D” will be remembered for his sense of humor and his ability to make us laugh in any situation.

Duane is preceded in death by his parents as well as his wife of forty-nine years, Anne Loney May.  He is survived by his brother, Joseph Clint May; his children, Kristin May Eagan and Kevin May; and his four grandchildren, Lauren Eagan, Blake Eagan, Madelyn May and Ethan May.
