Scott Michael Duga's Obituary
Scott Michael Duga, age 48, of Grand Haven toasted goodbye to this life on April 22, 2021 after a brave battle with cancer. Scott was born on March 21, 1973 in Grand Haven to Stuart W. Duga, Sr. and Colleen (LeMieux) Duga.
Scott was employed at the Eagles Aerie 925 in Grand Haven where he worked as a maintenance person and early on, as a cook. Before that, he worked as a cook at several local restaurants. Besides being a member of the Eagles, he was a Life Member of the VFW Auxiliary Post 2326. Scott loved sports, especially the Detroit Lions and the University of Michigan Wolverines, which stemmed from his early years growing up in Ann Arbor. He was a talented cartoonist and a fierce Words with Friends opponent. He also enjoyed doing yard work, playing Pokémon Go and had a keen interest in Chariots of Gods by Erich von Daniken.
He is survived by his father and stepmother, Stu Duga and Judy Brown of Grand Haven; two sisters, Lisa (Joseph) Berger of Grand Rapids, and Genevieve Brown of Grand Haven; brother, Sean Duga of Grand Haven; his former wife and best friend, Heather Duga of Grand Haven; his children: Zachary (Lily) Duga, Merrick Duga, Hannah Stone, Dustin Hasty, Brendan Duga, Xavier Duga, and Kathleen Duga; and his faithful canine friend, Gunner; and many, many friends. Scott was preceded in death by his mother, Colleen; brother, Stuart Duga, Jr.; Uncle Fred LeMieux; cousin, Caesy LeMieux; and all of his grandparents.
A private family service will be held, and a celebration of Scott’s life will be at a later date. Interment will take place in Lake Forest Cemetery. Memorial contributions in memory of Scott may be given to the VFW Auxiliary 2326 (20 N. First Street, Grand Haven, MI 49417). Please sign the family’s online guestbook at www.sytsemafh.com.
