Duane Carey was born May 29, 1953, in Mitchell, to Leonard and Bessie (VanDer Lugt) Carey. He grew up near Spencer and graduated from Spencer High School. On June 23, 1990, he married Anita Schiddel in Orlando, Fla. They were blessed with two sons, Adam and Matt.
Duane and family moved back from Orlando in 2007 to Sioux Falls to be closer to friends and family. As a man who loved sharing great deals, Duane enjoyed his career in real estate and owned his own business, Great Places Realty Corporation. In addition to real estate, Duane ran a small entertainment business that included a train, paddle boats, carnival games and bounce houses. His true love was his family and enjoyed taking his family on boat rides during the summer and fishing.
