DuWayne Edward Moug, age 63, of Branson, Missouri, passed away October 27, 2022, at home with family by his side. He entered this life September 10, 1959, the son of Edward and Lillian (O’Brien) Moug in Valley City, North Dakota. DuWayne was joined in marriage June 19, 2010, to Terri Lynn Hubert.

He earned the rank of Petty Officer First Class (PO1) and was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal (NA M), National Defense Service Medal (NDS M), Navy Unit Commendation (NUC) ribbon, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (AFEM), and Southwest Asia Service Medal (SWASM) with Bronze Star. After his twenty-year service to his country and retirement from the Navy, he worked as an electrician. He also traveled the United States as an over the road truck driver (OTR).
