It’s with a heavy heart, I am announcing the passing of my friend & mastered craftsman, Bum (Duane) Whitson.
He joined me a few years ago, coming from Seattle Washington, bringing his talent & love of Automotive Upholstery with him.
Bum as we affectionately called Duane passed away after a short battle with cancer, surrounded by family last night. He was born in California August 18,1968.
He is survived at home, by his life partner Araceli Flores & his daughter Danica, and his daughter, Danielle of Seattle, Washington.
A private memorial service will be held at a later time, cremation has taken place.
