All those who knew Duke remember him having a story to tell and full of life. Before he retired in 2013, Duke worked for Stowe-Woodard where he took great pride in his job as a machine operator. He often spoke fondly of his friends and great times while working there.
In December 2015 Duke lost his soulmate and heart when his beautiful wife, Brenda, passed away from cancer.
Also preceding him in death were his parents Temple S. (Bud) Trevillion Sr. and Edith Trevillion as well as brothers Jack Anderson, Curtis Anderson, Joe Bennett and Ronnie Trevillion.
Duke leaves many loved ones behind. He is the beloved father of two sons: Steven Trevillion and wife Tracy and Toby Trevillion and wife Alicia as well as five step-children: Dana Bradley, Charles Bradley Jr., Misty Green and husband John, Christy Kyle and husband Jason, and Jacklyn Barze and husband Todd. He is survived by four siblings: Jody Trevillion, Luther Trevillion, Annette Trevillion and Donna Rison in addition to several grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins – who he loved very much.
Duke has made the very generous decision to donate his body to the LSU School of Medicine and it was his wish to not have a memorial service.
