Sure had some fun with Duffy! Gonna miss him.
Duffy had this gorgeous, lifted yellow Toyota pick up, with a soft black topper. He was ahead of his time!
Along with another buddy we rented an apartment sophomore year, and a lifelong friendship were born. We both had dirt bikes, enjoyed working out, and working on our trucks.
I had the pleasure of meeting Duffy’s family, who he talked about constantly. His love for family was boundless.
I was fortunate to spend some holidays with them at their Pueblo home and cabin. Also got to meet Dick and Doug in Aspen, and it was immediately clear why Duffy idolized his big brothers.
My heart is broken, and that void will never be filled.
Duff, Iwill miss our dinners and catch up phone calls.
Rest in peace buddy.
Duffy lived life large! Just thinking of him makes me smile. I have so many great memories of Duffy starting with kindergarten at Morton – recess in the “kindergarten cage.” Big weekend entertainment in middle school was “walking around,” and high school Duffy in his white Celica. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. RIP Duffy!
Duffy, I miss you so much it hurts.
Duffy was the one of the Best Swimmers and Divers I had the pleasure of
Swimming and Diving with. We were on the same Swim and Dive Team (PCC) for most of our Childhood. His infectious SMILE comes to my mind when I think of ” Duf ” R.I.P Duffy
– [ ] Duffy was a character, always up to something. He was so friendly and always willing to help a friend. He was a huge supporter of the local teams, loved the Bulldogs, Buffs and Broncos. We especially appreciated the kindness and love he gave to our sister. We hope the two of them are fly fishing in heaven.
Rest In Peace, Teresa and Missy Warfield

Duffy was one of the kindest guys I had ever met. I have not seen him since HS.
He welcomed me to Pueblo as I relocated from Denver and was a true friend.

My sincere condolences to the Britt family. I’ve known Duffy since kindergarten and we attended Morton, Freed and Centennial together. During that time he was a constant friend in my life and a great teammate. I have many wonderful memories of Duffy that I will always cherish. Rest in peace my friend.

Doug & Dylan,
The closeness of our families makes this loss especially difficult. I will never forget Duffy. May God give him eternal rest and your family the strength to bear this great pain.
My condolences to the Britt family. Rest in peace my friend Duffy!
Back in my early years of coaching as an assistant football coach I had the pleasure to be around this young man. Fearless comes to mind plus a burning desire to be the best.
RIP, my good man.
Coach Tom Brockman
The first time I met Duffy he was 12 years old. He had a trampoline under a basketball hoop and was doing flips and and crazy dunks! I thought “what a cool kid”. That was the beginning of our life long friendship
Those were some great times growing up. Fortunately we didn’t get more stitches.
Thank you my friend.
Thank you, God bless Duffy
Duffy was truly one of a kind. So sweet and always smiling. Peace and prayers for his family.
Thank you
I remember being in school with Duffy starting in Kindergarten at Morton. He was always smiling and was kind to everyone. My sincere condolences to the family.
Morton, that was a life time ago. Still remember the play ground and the little white store, on the corner.
Thank you, God bless Duffy
