Duain spent his youth in southwest Colorado, herding sheep, hunting, and fishing. He said the best days of his life were the two summers he spent alone when he was 14 and 15 years herding sheep in the Colorado mountains. After marrying Charlene in 1946, he later moved to Durango, Co and raised his four children there, working as a heavy machine operator. He moved his family to Bountiful, UT in 1967 and soon thereafter became a business partner of Scott Machinery where he sold John Deer Tractors. He enjoyed multiple trips to Alaska to fish, gardening, and woodworking.
