John Edward Duke

November 15, 1964 — July 10, 2022

John Edward Duke, 57, of Haw River, passed away Sunday, 7/10/2022, at home after a courageous long battle with cancer.

John was born and raised in New England and settled in Harrisburg, PA, for 20 years. Most recently, his home was in Haw River with his wife, Lynn.

John was a friend to many, always lending a helping hand to those in need. He was a master electrician, carpenter, and all-around fixit-it man. He was active in his church over the years. He had a wide-open heart and loved to be around people. He loved music and all things electronic. He was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, and New England Patriots.

John leaves his second wife Lynn, sons from his first marriage Christian Duke of Pittsburg, PA and Colby Duke of Harrisburg, PA, stepson Brandon Parker of Harrisburg, PA, siblings Roger Duke of San Diego, CA, Richard Duke of Mebane, NC, and Maureen Brines of Smithfield, VA, several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews.

John is predeceased by son Sean from his first marriage, mother Shirley Jarvis and father John W Duke.
