My heart is heavy with the news of Duane Roberts’ passing, shared so tenderly by his beloved wife, Kelly. Duane was a kind and generous man whose warmth and vision left a lasting impression on me. As Riverside County Republican Party Chairman Emeritus, he was a staunch Republican who embodied the principles of hard work, perseverance, and opportunity for all, values I deeply share and admire. While working with his team at the Mission Inn, I had the privilege of brief but meaningful encounters with Duane himself. His quiet strength, genuine interest in people, and unwavering commitment to Riverside consistently stood out. Engaging with him in those moments was truly amazing, an experience that revealed a leader who led by example and cared deeply for his community.Rest in peace, Duan
