Duane graduated from Ashland High School in 1953. On August 25, 1957, Duane married Sandra Folsom at the First Christian Church in Ashland. Duane was a lifelong farmer in rural Ashland.

He is survived by wife of 58 years Sandra Jacobs; children: Michelle (Brian) Kasuske of Ashland, Debra Jacobs of Las Vegas, NV, and Christopher (Kathren) Jacobs of Ashland; grandchildren: Elle Pittman and Penelope Jacobs.
He was preceded in death by parents Harvey and Bertha Jacobs.
So sorry for the family’s loss. Duane was always a pleasure to wait on when he was at the courthouse.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I knew Duane for years and had great times and visits. He will be missed.
I am friends with Duane’s son, Chris, and right when I met Duane I could tell where Chris got his hilarious sense of humor. I’ll remember him for that & waving to him at Husker games. My thoughts are with his family.
So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers.
Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your father. I will be thinking of him at each Husker game this fall. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Janice Lawrence
