Everywhere the GATORS went, surprisingly, everyone wanted to follow. These men were known for their loyalty to one another and uncaring fun amongst each other. One man, Diamond Dee known as Duane Francis, showed true leadership in the group. As time passed, so did the popularity of the GATORS.
Duane unlike many others had a remarkable vision to his leadership skills. Duane has the unique ideal of producing his childhood bond with his close friends and family into a business venture that soon turned into a reputable empire.
There was something about this gentleman Duane that could bring the brightest sunshine into a gloomy room. Duane also had a one-of-a-kind gift to bring people of all walks of life together. And, if he cared for you personally, then he would offer you the world. Through life’s struggles, Duane never focused on his own battle with cancer, but continued to pride himself on providing for his family and others.
God called a heavenly angel home to rest in peace on April 21, 2004. Before Duane went on to his eternal resting place, he entrusted GATOR PRODUCTIONS in the hands of his well respected protégé, Troy Stallworth. Confident that his confidant and loyal friend would treasure the continuance of GATOR PRODUCTIONS, and so history has it that 10 years later…Troy Stallworth has maintained its relevancy into the 21st century and beyond!
