CONDOLENCES
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my beloved brother Doug Duncan passed away peacefully at his home in Big Bend on Tuesday, October 11 at age 71.  We will sorely miss his sense of humor, his caring nature, and his crazy antics. He always kept us laughing, and he was so talented at such a variety of arts.  He has been with the National Parks as a Ranger for over 30 years, having worked at various Parks acrtoss the country.  He was a graduate of the University of Texas in Arlington. Doug served in the U.S. Navy.  He leaves behind two sisters, Lynda Miles (brother-in-law, Joe Miles), and Stacey Duan, along with nephew, Matt Meinke, and niece, Megan Leach, plus four great nieces and nephews.

He will be sorely missed.  Happy Trails, Doug!!  Until we meet again.....Love.  

(A Celebration of life to be announced later.)
