It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ian Duncan at 75 years of age.
Ian was a very special person who had a kind, gentle spirit--a true gentleman.
Ian really enjoyed life; he cared for his friends; Beverly, Melanie, Darrell and Jimmy that lived with him for over 20 years. He showed his gentleness and grace to his support team. He had a contagious smile and always reached out his hand to say Hello.
A very special thank you goes out to all his caregivers at Karis Disability Services (formerly known as Christian Horizons) who over the years made his life full and meaningful. They were his "family" friends + family—and it truly showed.
He will be missed by his sister, Sandra Bowness, his niece Suzanne Bowness, his brother Dave Bowman (who has very recently passed away as well), and Dave’s wife Diane, and their families. Ian will also be missed by his friends/housemates at Karis and his support team as well.
Dorothy Margaret Duncan was the mother of Sandra, Dave, and Ian—siblings who remarkably found each other later in life.
Cremation has taken place and a "Celebration of Life" will be held at the MacCoubrey Funeral Home on April 29, 2026 from 11 – 1 p.m. with a light lunch afterwards.
Interment will take place at Crawford's Cemetery, Township of Lanark Highlands, Lanark, Ontario, on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 2 p.m. where Ian will be joining his many Duncan relatives who have found their final resting place there as well
