David Ray Duck, 78, of Jonesboro, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at his home on March
26, 2026, following a lengthy illness.
David Ray was born on October 1, 1947, in Hodge, Louisiana to Dave and Atsie Duck. He spent
his life rooted in the values of family, friendship, and a deep love for the outdoors. An avid
sportsman, he found great joy in hunting, fishing and listening to a good hound race. He worked
as a millwright at the paper mill in Hodge for 28 years. When not working, David Ray would
often be found in his garden with his dog Lou Lou by his side or relaxing at his camp at Black
Lake. He was a life-long member of McDonald Memorial Baptist Church and in his later years
attended Weston Baptist Church. David Ray was preceded in death by his father and mother,
Dave and Atsie Duck, his sister, Ann Stringer and his faithful dog, Big Red.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Pamela K. Duck; children: Roxanne Duck, David Ray
Duck, Jr. and wife Lesley; step-children: Glenda Jackson and husband Bruce, Lynette
Pennington and husband Chris, Jason Haas and wife Anna; grandchildren Spencer Duck
(Caitlin), Sarah Beth Bates (Mason), Riley, Maddox and Lily Duck; and step-grandchildren
Aubrey, Madelyn, Ethan, Noah, Haley and Jake; 3 great grandchildren Camdon, Machaela and
Brooks; and his nieces, nephews and other family and friends. He was deeply loved and
cherished by all.
The family also wishes to recognize his former wife, Karen, for the special care, friendship and
support she so generously gave during his illness; close friends, Michael Dark and Brenda
Simmons; Ochsner LSU Health Medical Center, ACG Hospice and numerous others who
provided care throughout his illness.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Paradise Funeral Home, with services to be
held at McDonald Memorial Baptist Church on Sunday, March 29, 2026 at 2 pm.
