Duane Godsey Wood
April 29, 1940 — Sept. 20, 2021
Pendleton
Wood
Duane Godsey Wood
was born April 29, 1940,
and passed away on
Monday, Sept. 20, 2021.
He was born to Marvin and
Vada Wood in Baker City.
He was the fifth of five
children, Darrell, Melvin,
Darwin and Carol.
He is survived by his
sister, Carol; wife, Chris;
and six children, their wives
and families: Robert and
Heather Wood, Jeffrey and
Jennifer Wood, Kimberly
and David Nall, Leslie and
Nathan Kerns, Melissa and
Travis Stoddard, David and
Etta Wood; 26 grandchil-
dren; and 11 great-grand-
children and as of today
three more on the way.
Duane’s first wife, Ardythe,
passed away in 2008. Upon
marrying Chris in 2010,
Duane gained eight other
children; 16 grandchil-
dren; and two great-grand-
children.
Duane spent most of his
childhood in Union. He
was active in sports and
disinterested in school. He
played football, basketball
and track. He was the state
high jump champion in
1958. He loved to hunt and
worked with his dad in the
logging business.
Duane grew up knowing
Ardythe Wilde, and would
sit behind her and pull her
hair in school. Ardythe’s
parents were the stake
missionaries and taught
Duane the gospel of Jesus
Christ. A year after his
baptism, Duane went on a
mission to Kentucky. Upon
return from his mission in
1962, he married Ardythe
in the Logan Utah Temple.
Duane graduated from
Oregon State University
with a degree in micro-
biology. They eventually
settled in Pendleton where
they raised their six chil-
dren. Duane’s love of the
outdoors led to many camp-
ing trips and trips to the
beach.
Duane loved his Heav-
enly Father and Jesus
Christ. As a member of
the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, he
served with the youth for
many years, was a bishop
in the Pendleton first ward
and president of the Walla
Walla Stake. He served a
mission to Okinawa, Japan,
with Ardythe in 2004.
Upon Ardythe’s death in
2008, Duane became reac-
quainted with Christine
Baxter from La Grande and
they were married in 2010.
The distance of their chil-
dren led them to travel all
over the United States and
Europe.
Duane was diagnosed
with idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis in 2012. This was
the cause of his persistent
cough. As big of a burden
as his cough was, he said it
reminded him that he was
alive. Duane was quietly
patriotic and loved this
land. He found deep respect
as he walked in nature. He
said it spoke to him and told
him, “Be Good.”
