This is sad news indeed. Duane was a recent addition to our
Minnesota at large chapter...<br><br>

I write this with a very heavy heart as I received the following news via
Facebook and a friend sending text messages.<br>
<br>
Prayers for the Iverson family:<br>
Duane collapsed on Monday evening from a major cardiac arrest and
when they got him to the hospital there we as no neurologic
activity. So they flew him to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester
MN. They put him in a medical coma because he kept having frontal
lobe seizures and they feared there would be brain damage. They started
to bring him out last night but they waited to completely bring him out
till after Jonathan (his son) got there last night. After bringing him
out of the coma the neurologist told them this morning that there wasn't
any brain activity and is still seizing from the frontal lobe (which is
what controls your personality and cognitive functions). They decided to
take him off life support to pass naturally. After they took him off the
support he was breathing on his own and his heart was beating
in its own. They told them it can take a couple hours or a few
days. They then had the intubation tube removed and let him pass
peacefully and without pain. He passed away at 2:20 this afternoon. (July

Sad but know that he is the kingdom<br>
<br>
Funeral arrangements have not been announced and when I hear more I will
post them here.<br>
