JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bryan Steven “Duffie” McDuffie, 60, of Brantley County, passed away Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville.
Born July 27, 1962 in Waycross, McDuffie was a son of the late Margaret Jane McDuffie and Robert Lowell McDuffie.
He had lived in Pierce, Ware and Brantley counties most of his life before moving to Jacksonville, Fla. McDuffie was an honor graduate of Brantley County High School class of 1980.
He loved anything outdoors, and could always be found in camo ready to hunt or fish. If you had the time, McDuffie had a tall tale and could talk for hours.
McDuffie loved reading and watching westerns, and could regularly be found with a Louis L’Amour book in hand. Known for being a good neighbor — they affectionately called him “Duffie” — he was always happy to spend time with them.
Survivors include a son Bradon Sapp and wife, Katie Sapp, of Yulee, Fla; two grandchildren, Aaden and Alexander Sapp; three siblings, Marsha (David) Chancey of Blackshear, Brett (Amy) McDuffie of Nahunta, and Kristie Williams of Blackshear; his wife, Sharon McDuffie, of Waycross; as well as several nieces and nephews, including Devan McDuffie of Waycross; and many other relatives.
The family held a Celebration of Life Saturday, March 4 at the Hoboken Community Center.
Arrangements were with Frye Funeral Home, Nahunta.
