Gary Duval, born March 27, 1965, passed away on July 5, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, humor, and unwavering devotion to the people he loved. Gary found joy in the simple things, dirt racing, camping under open skies, and spending time with family who meant the world to him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth and Earl Duval; his sister, Carol Barrett; and his brothers, Don Duval and Keith Duval. His memory lives on in the hearts of his brother, Stanley (Tena) Duval, and his niece Nancy Knepper; his three children, Amber, Megan, and Alan (Shawna) Duval; his grandchildren Jacob and Gavin Fisher, Abigail Duval; his two adopted grandchildren, Gabriel and Lillian Fisher; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Gary had a gift for bringing people together. Whether gathered around a campfire or cheering at the track, he made every moment feel fuller, brighter, and more connected. His laughter was unmistakable, his presence steady, and his love for his family constant.

He lived life to the fullest, embracing every adventure, every gathering, and every moment shared with the people he cherished. May his spirit continue to guide those he loved, and may his memory be carried forward in every heart he has touched.

A private memorial gathering will be held at a later date. To sign the online guestbook, go to www.fairhavenfortwayne.com
