Duane A. Storch

Duane Storch, 71, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2018, at Kavanagh on 56th Street in Des Moines. He was born October 5, 1946, in Marshfield, Wisconsin, to Lorin and Helen Storch.

Duane was united in marriage to Kathleen Boxrucker on November 2, 1968, in Stetsonville, WI. He was a veteran of the United States Army and was a proud patriot. Duane had a tremendous mechanical ability that was demonstrated in his love of restoring antique gas engines and cars. He was a perfectionist in anything and everything he did, and found great joy in helping his friends with their various projects.

Above all else, Duane cherished time spent with his family, especially his grandsons, and looked forward to Tuesday and Friday gatherings with his friends.

Duane is survived by his loving wife, Kathy; daughter, Karla (Matt) Buller; grandsons, Austin and Zach; brother, Dale Storch; as well as other loving family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A memorial gathering will be held from 3-6 p.m. on Thursday, May 24, 2018, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue in Des Moines.

In lieu of flowers, memorials will be received by the family and directed to a charity close to Duane’s heart.
