Obituary for Charles Malcolm Duncan

Charles “Chuck” Malcolm Duncan, Jr, 73, of Marietta, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Carolyn Duncan, parents, Charles Duncan and Dorothy Duncan Dickson, and sister Carol Porter. He is survived by his children: son, Jimmy Duncan and wife, Kristy; daughter, Christen Salamone and husband, Aaron, and three granddaughters; two sisters, Charlotte Blair and Janice Ford; and many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Born in Decatur, Illinois, he grew up in Ocala and Daytona Beach, Florida. He enjoyed playing baseball and the trumpet and helping in his father's theater. He graduated from Mainland High School and Florida State University with a degree in accounting. He continued to support FSU as a proud alumnus and member of the Seminole Boosters. He worked with Arthur Anderson and then spent the majority of his career as the controller for the Omni Coliseum, which was eventually replaced by Philips Arena, in downtown Atlanta.

Along with beginning his career in Atlanta, he also met the love of his life, Carolyn, and they were married in 1971. They enjoyed life as a young married couple in Atlanta, whether it was attending numerous events at the Omni (Hawks and Flames games and too many concerts to name), Georgia Tech football games, or simply spending time with close family and friends. To close out the 70s, they began a family and had their first child, Jimmy, and then kicked off the 80s with their second child, Christen. They enjoyed the family life, whether it was going to the circus, hauling Christen to dance class or Jimmy to baseball practice, attending FSU football games, or simply spending time with family and friends.

A huge part of Chuck's life was his commitment to Christ and serving as a member of Powers Ferry UMC. He served in numerous roles at church, was heavily involved with the United Methodist Men, enjoyed numerous mission trips, whether going to Belize or chaperoning the youth on a Habitat for Humanity build, spent many nights at MUST Ministries serving those in need, and had an impact on others in ways that we aren’t even aware. After retirement, he continued being a servant for Christ, enjoyed traveling and fellowshipping with family and friends, and most importantly, enjoyed being an amazing grandfather to his granddaughters and grand dogs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic no public service is planned at this time. He will be laid to rest at Kennesaw Memorial Park at a future date. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to MUST Ministries (www.mustministries.org)
