Duane E. Pritts, 57, of Butler passed April 8, 2020, surrounded by his family at Quality Life Services of Sarver.

Duane was the devoted son of Barbara Schreier.

He was a master carpenter whose work can be found throughout Western Pennsylvania.

He was a former member of the Penn Township and Zelienople Volunteer firehalls.

He was an avid outdoorsman with a love of camping, hunting, fishing, riding ATVs and snowmobiles. He loved the Steelers and being with his family, especially all of his nieces and nephews. You could always count on Duane for a water balloon/gun fight or a snowball battle.

Duane is survived by his mother, Barbara Schreier of Butler; one brother, Robert (Lynne) Pritts of Merritt Island, Fla.; four sisters, Denise Pritts of Vandergrift, Deborah Steele, Lori (Ed) Liebler and Melissa (Jeff) Beers of Butler; his nieces and nephews, Danielle (Erik) Runas, Dawn (David Achezinski) Markle, Monique Drey-Pritts, Lee Pritts, Derrick (Brittney) Glace, Racheal (Jeremy) Humphrey, Bryant Liebler, and Bailey and Colby Beers; and six great-nieces and great-nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald L. Pritts; and his stepfather, Walter Schreier.

Duane will be deeply missed by all of those who loved him and had the opportunity to call him friend, but mostly by his beloved dog, Kobe.
