He also operated heavy equipment, built and renovated homes, and marked timber for the Six Rivers National Forest. Recently, Duncan started his own business, Strollin' Crow Tie Dyes, making tie dye clothing. In 1985, Duncan met his wife Livia, and it was 'love at first sight'. Duncan was an 'at home Dad' for their 3 children while Livia worked for the Forest Service. Duncan was usually seen wearing one of his colorful tie dyes. His smile and quick humor brought cheer to those he met. His passion for the Grateful Dead was well known. He believed in the teachings of Buddha. His survivors include his wife, Livia Crowley, their three children, Walker, Forrest and Sonora and his Mother, Kathryn of Frederickburg, Texas.

The family extends their grateful thank you to all who provided support over the year. Special thanks to the employees of the White Mountain National Forest, neighbors on Mill Street, and local businesses who contributed to build the ramp outside their home.
