Born on December 11, 1957 in Tabor City, NC to Barbara Stocks Duncan and the late Willis Delano Duncan.
He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Marta Therese Duncan; three sons, Joshua, Seth and Kyle; and eight grandchildren.
In life, Doug, as he was known to his friends, loved his family, fishing and airplanes. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force after high school and rose to the rank of Master Sergeant. An aircraft mechanic by trade, Doug worked on B-52’s, B-1 Bombers and KC-135 air refueling tankers. He was a veteran of Desert Shield/Storm, Kosovo and Operations Deny Flight, Vigilant Warrior and Provide Comfort. Upon completing 20 years of service, Doug retired from the Air Force and began turning wrenches on piston aircraft. For nearly a decade Doug owned and operated his own aircraft repair station as a Cirrus Authorized Serviced Center in Greenville, SC.
Doug will always be remembered for his smile, good sense of humor, warm hugs and eagerness to help others. He never once met a stranger and waged a brave battle against cancer. Although it was not a battle he won, he now resides in almighty glory with our Heavenly Father and in eternal peace.
