Donald Lee Duvall, age 80, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2026, at Illinois Veteran's Home in Anna, Illinois. He was born on August 2, 1946, in Stonefort, Illinois, the son of Lowell E. Duvall and Ellen (Lawrance) Duvall.

Donald was a 1964 graduate of Carrier Mills High School. He proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Army, serving in Vietnam from 1965 to 1967. During his military service, he was awarded two Purple Hearts in recognition of his sacrifice and bravery.
