Douglas Ray Duncan

Doug Duncan, loving father, grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully on Friday January 17th, 2025, with his family by his side. Born to Virginia and William Duncan, Doug was a man of humor immense pride in his family and his work.

Doug was a dedicated family man who retired early so that he could spend time with his grandchildren while they were little. Leaving behind a legacy though his three daughters, Stacy Savage, Brenda Chasteen, Angela Lori, and his Son Michael Duncan. He was blessed with nine grandchildren who were the light of his life. His love for his family was evident in the joy he took in spending time with them, defending them no matter what, sharing stories, and creating memories.

A retired truck driver, Doug was a proud member of the Teamsters Union. His association with the Teamsters was not just a job but a significant part of his identity, which he wore proudly during the cooler months of the year in those infamous black and gold lettering and shared stories from the road with anyone who knew him and was proud to share that he had logged over a million miles over the road.

Doug had a zest for life that was reflected in his simple pleasures. He enjoyed nothing more than a Pepsi from a can – without the tab, as he humorously noted it would pull on his mustache. His hair, often remarked upon as the best-looking of any grandpa, was a point of pride and a testament to his charismatic presence along with his jean shirts, Levi’s and black cowboy boots, with a pack of Camel Long 99’s in his front pocket, his comb in his back pocket and his lucky 8 ball in his jeans he carried with him everywhere he went.

He was an avid watcher of westerns and old war documentaries, which spoke to his appreciation for history and storytelling. The genres not only entertained him but also connected him to a broader narrative of human experience, which he loved to talk about with his friends and family.

Doug’s departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, but his spirit continues in the stories, laughter, and love that he shared. His memory will be cherished and kept alive by all who were touched by his kindness, and his unique way of living.

Rest in peace, Doug, your stories, laughter and love will forever echo in our lives.

We love you and give Heaven some hell.
