Duncan used to date my sister, and it's no secret that we all wished for him to become a permanant part of our family. He was laid back, kind, and positive almost to a fault. He truly appreciated and celebrated everyone he met. 

He was the only person I knew that came to see my band play one time in New York, and not only did he stay the entire time, until long after the music had stopped, he carried my guitar around all night through chinatown, on subways, and back to brooklyn, acted like we were his favorite band, and got me home safe.

We were lucky to have him as long as we did, and though we wish he could have stayed longer, it helps to think there might be someone like that looking out for us from the other side.

Keep on dancing, Duncan.
 

I can't believe that you're gone, I worked at SJPVH for a few months but I met Duncan when I was a Extern there, I had to go in every night after hours to do some paper work for my department and I would always have the hardest time looking for security to open up the nursing office for me and one night I decided to walk around to look for anyone who can help me. Ofcourse Duncan would be there that night to save me since I did not know where to go. So he gave me the security's line so I dont have to walk 500 feet =D with stacks of binders looking for security. A few months after that I was hired to work in one of the units and my first night he asked me where are your binders? We used to talk for 5-10 minutes about random things. I saw him a couple of months ago the last thing I said was when I come back to work here expect me to bug you every night he laughed and said I cant wait.

Duncan wasn't just that person I see every shift who said hello to everyone he sees and tries to help everyone he can, he was our friend, its ironic because he was part of security so his job was to protect everyone in the hospital and now he joins God to protect all of us, family, friends, co-workers.

My heart goes out to his family, I hope this little story of mine helps you understand how important he was to everyone he met, thank you for a great man.

Rest in peace friend.

Duncan, I still can not believe this is true. Just last year at the welcome party you surprised me. Common Bro. Even from home you had always been a man for the people. Depite soccer did not take us anywhere, you had always been a skilled player at the PNEU Bota field. Duncan Duncan Duncan as I type I see you, Seka, Tikwe, Vewesse standing right there. The calmness of your every day thought will be highly missed.

I knew Duncan a little more than five years ago when he was still living in New York. I was a roommate with Nanjo his childhood friend.  I remember when ever he called Nanjo will turn around and say to me, "papa no di sleep?" and we will all laughed just because of the time difference between L.A and N.Y. He will call at anytime and that was just Duncan. He always kept in touch with his friends and time was never an issue for him. Even though at that time I had never met Duncan but I already knew him and we will chat over the phone as if we have met before. All thanks to his friendly and outgoing jesture. He did not care if we had met before or not. We spoke how he was going to move to LA then, which he finally did. When we met, it was an instant connection. We played soccer together, attended partied, clubs, and after hours. He was one of the funniest persons I have ever met. The conversations never went dry with papa; he always kept them coming in abundance. Papa, as I always called him later left LA and moved to Ventura. We still interacted very well as he always drove back and forth to LA on a regular basis (every weekend) before he got shot. Duncan was very aspiring and wanted to be more successful. We had couple of conversations on how to do it. He was definitely doing the right things before the unGodly attack. Nothing that papa was doing before his attack was abnormal, illegal, or out of pattern. He had always visited friends and he was doing just that at the time of the attack.

To the family, it is a big lost to you I truly sympathize with you all. It was a privilaged to have known Duncan, he will be dearly missed. We join you all in the mourning of a faithful friend, your son, a brother, a cousin, and a nephew we never thought will be gone anytime soon.

As everyone, I'm still in disbelief.  Someone so pleasant.  But we all have to rely on that GOD knows best.  I worked with Duncan @ St. John's hospital.  duncan  was known by everyone in every department.  Many stories can be told from me about this guy-- from eating mangos, pork, spiritual beliefs, dreads, children, family, goals, etc.  but one in particular is he loved sports-- after doing his rounds at the hospital-- you would always find duncan watching the sports channel in our outpatient department or sitting in pbx online watching reruns of sports.  I remember asking him "dude, do you ever work" and he just laughed and said-- "when i can"...and we both just cracked up laughing...  duncan will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  I pray for his family and those of us whom he loved as his family-- May GOD peace be with us and we use this time to reflect on memories of duncan and draw closer to GOD.  One day we all will pass this way.  Let us ask GOD in faith in JESUS the Messiah that we be ready.  Although short, let us thank GOD for the memories that we do have.

In GOD's grace,

Wow! am  still in shock and sudden about the death of Duncan.  i met Duncan  for the first time through ex-classmates (PHS besong abang)  from limbe who were his friend,  After the soccer game we went to one of our friend`s  place for some refrement.The debate we had that night was too funny and he never back down about the fact that living in Maryland is like in Cameroon .we had so much fun, it was like i knew him for the number of years i knew my ex classmates from PHS. in Duncan,  i saw friendship, respect, funny and  good guy in deed. i mean there is so much to say about this guy for someone like me who him for  this short time which can tell u that Duncan  was a very nice, respectful and sociable person. 
To the family, may your heart and soul find peace and comfort in GOD
