Duane E. Reynolds, 71, of Ryegate VT, after a long illness, has changed zip codes so he can rest in his Savior's arms in Heaven.

He was born & bred Vermonter on August 21, 1951, in Morrisville, Vermont to Arland E. Reynolds & Ruth Hammond Reynolds.
He went through the Springfield School system to Vietnam in 1970 to 1971, he was in the 20th Engineer Battalion, came home & was a "Jack of all trades and master of none."

He settled down and married his sweetheart Vicki in 1989, had a bad accident in 1998 which resulted in almost breaking his back in many places and his wife taught him how to crochet, so it became his therapy, and he made blankets for all his family and friends.
He was a quiet man who loved being at peace. He became a Christian in the Corinth Bible Church and helped by bringing vegetables from his garden and blankets for under the tree and more. He loved his Savior JESUS, his garden, making blankets, coloring in his books and his dogs.

He is survived by his wife Vicki, Daughter Katie and a special nephew Vincent, (or as we call him Lil'D, who was like a son to him) & his wife Liz, grandchildren Casey, Madison, Dempsey, & Kinsey; niece and nephew, Jennifer & Jr.
