DUKES, IV

2014

ENOCH ALLEN DUKES, IVEnoch Allen Dukes, IV was born to the late Enoch III and Henrietta Brown Dukes on February 22, 1945, in Miami, Florida. Enoch was the fourth child of this blessed union. His soul ascended into the heavenly clouds on April 23, 2014, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was received into the loving arms of his parents and his grandson, Cameron Ezekiel Gilbert.

Enoch began his Christian Journey under the spiritual leadership of Elder A. Wells at The Church of God In Christ, Coconut Grove, Florida.

Enoch received his formal education in the Dade County Public System. He graduated with honors in 1963 from George Washington Carver High School. Immediately following his graduation, he attended Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, North Carolina, on a football scholarship. He received his undergraduate degree in 1967 with a major in Sociology and minor in Psychology. Following graduation, he remained in Raleigh, North Carolina, and began his professional career as the Director of Men’s Dormitory Services. During that same period, he was offered employment as the Assistant Football Coach at Shaw University.

On November 11, 1967, Enoch married his college sweetheart, and they shared 46 years of marriage. Their lives were blessed with the birth of two loving daughters, Karlicia Ramona (Martin) Gilbert and Enica LaJuana (Jason) Russell. This marriage was further enriched with the birth of their four grandchildren, the late Cameron Ezekiel Gilbert, Madison Amaya Gilbert, Logan Alexandra Russell, and Emory Anderson Reid Gilbert.

In 1971, Enoch was recruited by Shaw University Alumni Dr. Daniel Burrell, for the master’s degree program in the School of Library Science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. There, Enoch was one of seven African Americans accepted into the program, receiving a full fellowship.

On a rather cold day for Floridians (August 1971), he and his wife, toddler Karlicia, and baby Enica in arms, began their life in this great city. Enoch received his Master’s Degree in Library Science, May 1973. Upon graduation, he was hired by the former Schlitz Brewery Company as a Research Analyst. Upon the closing of the Brewery, he accepted employment as an Employment Specialist with the Social Development Commission.

Together Again

It’s hard to say goodbye, but I go peacefully with a grateful heart for all the happiness you gave me.I will always remember the love that you have shown

but I cannot stay, I must journey on alone.It’s only for a moment that we must part,

your love I’ll keep forever in my heart.I will not be far from you, my love is near,

so if you need me, think of me and I’ll be there.I’ll visit you in thought and prayer.

I’ll let my love surround you soft and clearand when someday you must travel alone,I’ll meet you and together we’ll be home.

- Carol Joy Gellineau

In 1978, Enoch accepted employment with Wisconsin Inroads, Inc. This organization would define his love for developing and mentoring young minority students throughout the state of Wisconsin. He received many recognitions and awards for his leadership roles in enhancing the lives of students through employment internships and placements in corporate America.

Enoch’s greatest love and passion were his relationships with God, family, and the youth. He demonstrated these characteristics through all aspects of his life.

In 1981, he returned to his faith denomination and was embraced by the Northside Church of God family, under the spiritual leadership and mentoring of Pastor Emeritus, the Rev. Dr. Sandy L. Johnson. Enoch was actively involved in all aspects of his church through his participation as Sunday School teacher, and member of the Northside Men’s Ministry, Youth Fellowship, and The Men’s Choir on every Men’s Day. At the time of his transition, he was Vice Chair for the Board of Trustees.

Enoch’s love of God and his recognition of the many academic challenges facing African American students, prompted him to become very interested in the Oneness Initiative Program under founder Rev. Tony Evans of Dallas, Texas. Through his steadfast and collaborative efforts with many churches, this program became a reality through a partnership with the Milwaukee Public School System.

He leaves behind other family members and friends, including his son Herbert (LaWanda Sonny) Forbes; grandchildren, Jeremy Savage, Marquita Brewton, Sharnecia Jackson, Tandra Forbes, and Herbert Forbes Jr.; five great-grandchildren; siblings, Mae Frances Stevens, Virginia (Earl) Blacksheare, Samuel (Vinette) Dukes, and Clarence (Ruth Lawhorn) Dukes; and a host of nieces and nephews. God-children, Dara Atandare Scott, Deja Garner, Keric Hamm, Lisa Marie Hepburn, Enoche Jones, Deandre Merriweather, Eugene Nelson, Jr., Amber Presley, Kim Scott, Sharnecia Thomas; and mother-in-law, Mizie Hanna.

Never forgets her Dad

I have to admit that I was a Daddy’s girl.

He told me he loved me better than anything else in the world.

When I became a woman he walked me down the aisle

and gave me away with a better-sweet smile.

And when I gave birth, he was there too,

to greet my little one and say “hello” and “I love you.”

And now that man who loved me

and wrapped me in arms so strong has gone

Where I can’t reach him but my love for him lives on

I’ll believed and just feel so grateful for all his love that I received.
