It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Duane David Will, Jr., who left this world on October 1, 2026, at his residence.
Born on November 29, 1981, in Point Pleasant, WV, he was the son of Duane and Brenda Sue Browning Will, Sr.
David lived a life filled with love, faith, and a passion for cooking. A graduate of Point Pleasant High School, he furthered his education with both undergraduate and master’s degrees from Marshall University.
David was a chef, having honed his skills at notable establishments such as The Wheel in Wheeling and TJ’s Sports Bar. His love for food was only rivaled by his devotion to his faith, as he served as the regular organist at his church, sharing his musical gifts with his community. David’s deep appreciation for Christian music greatly enriched the lives of those who gathered to worship.
Family was at the heart of David’s life. He cherished moments spent with his beloved children, Makaela and Seth, building lasting memories through various adventures. Together, they delighted in trips to Noah’s Ark in Cincinnati and traveled to the majestic Niagara Falls, where the helicopter ride above the thundering waters remains a highlight of their moments together.
David was preceded in death by his wife, Monica Queses Will, and his mother.
Left to cherish his memory are his beloved children, Makaela Morgan and Seth Nicholas Will, and his father, Duane David Will, Sr., father-in-law, and mother-in-law, Nicholas and Bonnie Queses.

Charities
The family greatly appreciates donations made to these charities in Duane David Will, 's name.
My deepest love and empathy to the family of Monica and David. Only God knows why but we who have faith know that they are both in the sight of God rejoining in His presence. It is both sad but happy. We have them to intercede for us as we journey here without them. God grant us all strength and hope for all that is good. Peace and love.
A kinder soul I have never met. David had a natural talent of drawing people to him through his big heart and contagious laugh and smile. I was lucky to have known him. The only thing comparable to his heart was his mind, he was one of the few people i was in awe of in his knowledge of everything, be it religion, music, or more recently weather tracking. He was my friend from the first day I met him and will be on my mind for the rest of my mind.
I will forever miss you my funny little brother.
