Michael Duhamel Obituary

So sorry for your loss. Michael seemed like a very respectful man. I was able to look this up after my Grandmother gave me his info, Ruth Swaney. I was about to head to my first duty station as Security Forces back in 2009 when my grandmother gave me a few stripes and patches from Duhamel's uniform. She explained to me a bit of his story and that Chuck and Ann had given her the items to give to me. Ruth passed away a year ago and I know she would have wanted me to reach out to Michaels family and give my condolences. RIP SF Brother.

We miss you - every day. I often find myself thinking of you and how good it would be to talk with you again. Someday we shall.

Michael,
We miss you still. We remember the weekly phone calls so much. Love from Grandmom and Grandad

Still miss you bro I think of you often

Michael it is still a terrible loss I feel as I am sure of others as well. I look foward to seeing again at some future date. With much love, Granddad

Mike... so long ago you were my best friend, my confidant, and for a short time a boyfriend - which we quickly decided was a terrible idea and laughed about it. Going to different high schools separated us, but I have thought of you fondly and often over the years, wondering how you were doing, and what you were doing. Only today did I learn that you were no longer physically with us, but memories of you will always be a cause to smile, as they are all fond.

Ben Lee and I were there that sad day at the dining facility with you. I will never forget you or that day. You were my PRP Monitor and you did so much for us! RIP Duhamel!!

Michael, just thinking of you as I sit by the window on my computer. We miss you. Granddad

I remember seeing you last in the hallway at PPCC, and am sorry I won't get to catch up with you at our 10 year reunion. I will miss you.

Five years tomorrow you went away. Miss your smile and gentle ways. Will love you and miss you always. Thanks for enriching our lives

Michael, we are thinking of you and talked about you today. We miss you, and will miss you forever. I can still see you in my minds eye.

Can't seem to let go of you. Miss the everyday phone calls.

Mike - as always you are on our minds and in our hearts. Love you as much as always.

Here it is, Memorial Day. We all remember! The good times, the bad.
But, most of all, we remember YOU!

I think of you pretty much everyday. I even still expect the phone to ring and you on the other end making some joke. I know you are in a better place, but sometimes I am selfish and wish you were here. Thank You for the countless great memories you left. I hope you are up there ripping stuff up on your dream motorcycle that you unloaded from some dream truck you have found. Miss you daily. To all your family and friends left here thinking of you too, Happy Holidays.

As Christmas approachs I think of you more and more. Andy and I were talking about you yesterday. You have such a sense of humor!! Will miss your surprise visits. Love you.

Thought of you just about all day yesterday....our first Thanksgiving without you, even if you probably would have still been in Minot.
Maybe not....who knows where the Air
Force would have you at now.....
love ya........grandma Ann and
grandpa chuck

Thought of you on the 4th of July.

Jeff and I were just talking about the time when you and Andy went into the services. Jeff said he was so glad you went with us when Andy joined the Army as it made the ride back home without Andy so much easier. I had forgotten you had gone into the Air Force on my birthday. But will drink a toast to you on all the birthdays I have left.

Michael..just wanted the world to know how much Grandma and I miss you. No more Sunday phone calls.

No more "I love you...stay safe"

comments. no more trying to send

you down the right road.

Well Mike I hope I was a good supervisor I know you were my best troop. Never asked questions just got it done. I really don't know what to say you were a good friend and were always there when someone needed something. The Air Force suffered a great loss and you will be missed

I want to extend my condolences to the loss of your son, grandson, brother, to your family.

Michael, you were such an awesome person. We had speech class together, and my husband worked with you on convoy flight. You are truly going to be missed. You and your family are and will be in our thoughts and prayers. We'll miss you! See you on the other side.

Michael we will miss you more than words can say. I will think of you every time I see a blue Ford pickup. My tribute to you is to try harder to show the love and understanding to others that you showed to us.

Truly sorry for your loss.

Although I never met Michael personally, I felt as though I had known him for many years through the descriptions provided by his Grandfather Roy Duhamel. His Grandfather was extremely proud of Michael and you could see the glow in his eyes as he spoke about Michael following in his Air Force footsteps. My wife Tammy and I send our most sincere condolences to the entire Michael Duhamel family.

Sue, Lee & Morgan,



I am so sad for the passing of Michael. He, as all of you have been a bright spot in my life. I still remember when my new car would not start in front of the house. He said "Di, isn't that a new car?" My response was "Yes, it it." His response was "Well, its not a very good car if it will not start." He always took time for a smile and some conversation.



Sending hugs, caring and prayers your way to help you get through this very devastating time.

I am so sorry for your sorrow. Your family is on our prayers.

You have my sincere condolences and we here at Linn Distribution Center are thinking of all of your family at this very difficult time.

I have worked for Roy for almost 15 years. He is so proud of all of his grandchildren but especially Michael since he was in the Air Force. Roy speaks often of his own children and all of his grandchildren.
