Robert Duncan
It is with deep pain and sadness that we announce the passing of a dear son and brother, Robert William Jeffrey Duncan, at the young age of 64 1/2.
Jeff passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on December 27th at St. Michael's hospital, in Toronto.
He was predeceased by his father, Robert Earl Duncan, and survived by his beloved mother, Euphemia "Effie", and sisters, Janice (Keith) and Joanne (Jeff).
He was the beloved uncle of Haley, Brittney, Kelsey and Andrew and adored by great nephews, Oliver, Kashis and Cooper and great nieces, Murphy and Londyn.
Way too many lifelong friends to name; you know who you are.
He fought long, hard and courageously to overcome his Melanoma cancer. With our profound grief, we find comfort in knowing he will not suffer anymore. He is at peace and has joined our father and countless other loved ones that have passed before him.
All the people that were lucky enough to have met Jeff and spent any time with him would know he truly was one of a kind. So funny with his quick wit and hilarious comebacks.
Super talented in everything he set out to do, including water skiing slalom and on a paddle, picking up any instrument and playing it, writing songs, singing, drawing and achieving top grades without ever needing to study.
He was a very hardworking, proud man and loved working and teaching his plumbing trade to many young apprentices.
I want to thank everyone for their constant prayers and well wishes during Jeff's battle, it meant the world to our family, especially mom.
