Gary Mitchell DuGan, MD, 57, of DuBois died Monday, April 10, 2017 unexpectedly.
He was the son of Joan and Frank DuGan of Levittown, Pa., and the loving husband of Joy (Kapushak) DuGan. They were married for 32 years.
He was the chief medical officer for Penn Highlands since 2007.
He graduated from the Neshaminy High School and went on to receive a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Wilkes College, where he graduated magna cum laude.
He received his medical degree from Hershey Medical Center of the Pennsylvania State University, and he completed an internal medicine internship, and residency, at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, where he was also the chief medical resident.
He received a Master of Medical Management degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. He was board-certified in internal medicine and a CPE (certified physician executive) of the American College of Physician Executives.
He is survived by his parents and his wife, Joy; his daughter, Nicole; two sons, Mitchell and Zachary; and his dog NimZ.
He is survived by his brothers, Steve, and Bill DuGan and his sisters, Cheryl Rupprecht and Kim Calicchio. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins and friends.
He enjoyed yearly trips with his family to Canada and Ocean City, NJ. He was a die-hard Penn State football and wrestling fan and, against his better judgement, a life-long Philadelphia Eagles fan.
He also had a passion for fishing, weight lifting and hanging out on the lake in his pontoon boat.
Friends will be received from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Friday at the Baronick Funeral Home and Crematorium Inc.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Baronick Funeral Home and Crematorium Inc. with Msgr. Richard Siefer officiating.
Although flowers are appreciated, the family strongly suggests that memorials be sent to the Treasure Lake Sportsmen’s Club, Fish Stocking Program, 41 Treasure Lake, DuBois, PA 15801.
