More Event Information

On August 5, 2016 David Duchnik responded to an emergency call on Interstate 81 near Clarks Summit. Like he has done hundreds of times working for the family owned Duchnik’s Towing and Recovery Service, David set out to help another person in need. While on the call a truck strayed into the disabled vehicle’s lane and struck both David and the vehicle. David was severely injured and passed away three days later, August 8th, 2016. David was a man of most upstanding character, always looking to help anyone in need and never speaking a negative word about anyone. He was extremely hard working and sacrificed so much to provide for his family. He was a self-less and loving guy, always putting his family and friend’s needs before his own. David possessed an infinite amount of qualities that showed what it meant to be a true gentleman. As his family, he will always be missed and forever in our hearts. To commemorate the incredible life of David Duchnik we are starting the David Duchnik Memorial Golf Tournament. We are asking for your help to celebrate and carry on David’s name through this golf tournament, which was one of David’s favorite hobbies. Our goal in our first year is to raise $10,000 to give to four different activities that David participated in throughout his life. As the family of our missed son, husband, brother, nephew, cousin and friend we would appreciate any help in carrying on David’s name for now and many years to come.
