OBITUARY
William Charles Duven, 63, of Monument, CO passed away peacefully on November 15, 2020, surrounded by his family.
He was born on July 13, 1957, in Newton, IA to Donald and Helen Duven. He grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. Bill was a proud Nebraska Cornhusker, graduating from the University of Nebraska Lincoln with both his undergraduate degree and his law degree. He moved to Colorado Springs and opened his own law practice in 1983, specializing in criminal defense and landlord-tenant law.
Bill has been a long-time member of the El Paso County and Colorado Bar Associations. He was well respected by his peers and was recognized in the Colorado Springs Style Magazine as a Top Attorney for the last 7 consecutive years.
Bill married his beloved wife Susan in Colorado Springs on May 26, 1990. They raised their three children in Monument.
Bill was a devoted and loving husband, father, and friend. He was a proud member of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity where he made countless lifelong friendships. Bill’s positive energy, captivating spirit, and love for life were contagious. The room would light up when he walked in; he was always the life of the party! Bill will be deeply missed by so many.
Bill is survived by his wife Susan of Monument; his children Alexander, Katherine, and Madeline of Denver; his brother Doug (Dawn) of Waterloo, IA, and his sister Diann (John) Duvenez of Oak Harbor, WA. He was preceded in death by his parents Donald and Helen.
