ARBEAU, Duncan William   

January 22, 1955- June 8, 2021   

Passed away at WRH-Ouellette Campus on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at the age of 66. Cherished husband of Elizabeth (nee Rivait) for 29 years.  Beloved father of William, Shannon (Mike), Stacey (Brandin), David (Desi), his daughter from another mother Boxin Ronnie (Jeff). Loving Papa of Jayce, Erick, Arianna, Gavin, Jakob, Austin, Vanessa, Bentley, and Aurora.  Dear son of the late Everett and Isabel (nee Peterson) Arbeau.  Brother of the late Lotti Jones (Basil), Millean, Calvin, Ward, Elwood Arbeau, Juanita Colford and survived by brother Leslie Arbeau. Duncan worked for Windsor Barrel and Drum Co., for 22 + years.  He very much enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. He was a car enthusiast who loved puzzle books, country music and old movies, especially “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” He will be remembered as a friendly giant, who would give you the shirt off his back. Duncan was a very special man because he opened his arms to anyone and everyone. He was a hard worker, unjudgmental and he taught us to appreciate the small things in life. He will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, family, and friends. A special thank you to the amazing doctors, nurses, and staff at WRH-Ouellette Campus ICU for their care and compassion.
