Our beloved handyman, Duane Molizon, passed away very unexpectedly on Saturday, July 30, 2022. Duane was preparing to make repairs and paint classrooms at Park Place Children's Center when he began having difficulty breathing. EMS got him to the hospital, where it was determined that he had a blood clot in his lungs. The doctors were able to stabilize him enough to move him to the ICU, but Duane kept going into cardiac arrest and tragically passed away Saturday night.

Although he worked full-time for Thrive Upstate, Duane was part of our family at Park Place Children's Center. He would show up every Saturday, make repairs, maintain our HVAC system, change lightbulbs, paint classrooms, etc. He would do anything we asked to keep our school safe and in good repair. His workmanship was always impeccable. Duane was an incredibly kind and honest man. We trusted him completely to come into the school by himself on the weekends because he continuously proved himself to be a man of great integrity.

Duane worked at Park Place to earn extra money for his family. We are devastated by the loss of our dear friend and want to show our support for his wife, Pam, and the rest of his family.

Would you please help us cover the cost of Duane's medical and funeral expenses so we can relieve his family of these concerns during this extremely difficult time?
