Duncan was raised in Ft. Collins where he graduated from Colorado State University with both B.S. and M.Ed. degrees.

As an avid golfer he played as often as possible and was passionate about the Denver Broncos.
He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Liz, his sister, Christina (Ed) Fraley, an uncle, Joe (Barbara) Hopwood in Minnesota and two sons both in Colorado, Kevin (Amy) Delohery and Travis (Jennifer) Hopwood and numerous grandchildren. His gentle spirit, patience and laughter will be missed my all.
