August 11, 2006
Dear Mary and Ken, Through a series of connections I just heard about your son's passing, and I wanted to send you my love and support. I cannot imagine what a shock this has been to you. I pray you are surrounded by your family and friends to help you through this difficult time. It has been a long time since I have seen you, but that does not change my feelings of friendship and love for you.
August 2, 2006
Mary & Ken,
Our hearts were broken today after hearing of the loss of your sweet son, Duncan. We were lucky to have met Duncan one evening while having dinner at your home and we were immediately impressed with his good looks, wit, and intelligence. But the one thing that impressed us the most was the respect and love he conveyed to you, his parents. The bond he shared with you both will never be broken. May your enduring love for one another guide you through this time of sorrow and loss. Acceptance is difficult when there are no answers, but may you find comfort in the memories you hold so dear of your beautiful beautiful boy.
Sincerely,
Mitch & Darci

Dear Moody Family,
I am deeply moved by the loss of Duncan. His kind demeanor and entheusiastic spirit helped me many times when school was difficult. We would often talk about politics, and we almost always disagreed, but he remained a good friend. I will always hold a profound respect for your son, and will forever miss our conversations. May you find peace during this turbulent time.
Very Sincerely,
Matthew M

I didn't know Duncan as well as many, but in the time I spent with him, we laughed, had wonderful conversations, and I feel I learned a lot from him, whether about metaphysics or quantum physics. While we can never imagine what was in his heart when he left us all, I can only imagine that this state of matter was no longer able to effectively communicate the majesty and glory he is now a sentient part of.

On Sunday, July 9, 2006, I brought Duncan's spirit to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine by adding a Memorial Candle in his name. I placed him so that he could hear that night's Vespers and by the side door so he could step out into the garden and look for the peacock and stroll in the Rosary when he desired. It is a place of solace and comfort in New York. I send solace and comfort to you, Mary and Ken.

Ken and Mary,
I am so sincerely sorry about your loss. I understand that this is the most difficult time of your life and please call me if you ever need anything.
In his time here, Duncan was one of the most respected, loved, wonderful people that walked the earth. I wish that I would have gotten the chance to become closer with him than I did. I have learned a lesson not to let distance get in the way of communication. We all need to remain strong and connected to each other. I feel we need to take more family vacations. Even if they are small ones.
The two of you were absolute model parents. I hope that in this time of loss, you do not feel any guilt or blame. I always thought, as did others, that the two of you could write a book on parenting. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Be strong. Find peace with yourelf. Control your emotions and find something constructive to place your energy into. You are both extremely intelligent individuals and I trust that you will adjust well and move on from this horrific event.
We will never forget Duncan or his wonderful words, kindness, compassion, creativity, imagination, thoughtfulness and character.
Our family will forever have a hole in a place that used to have a star.
Let it Be.

During the short time I knew him, he was always a great example to follow and was always willing to lend a helping hand. I am truly sorry for your loss. His compassionate heart and continuous strive for deeper understanding will be missed in this world.

Ken, Mary:
Please, please know that you are two of the most wonderful people I have encountered, and that you have been terrific, loving parents. I've always thought so, and so have all of Duncan's friends who know you. He loved and admired you very much, and said so many times over the years. I can't imagine what you are thinking or going through, but please don't doubt your role in Duncan's life for a minute. As hard as this is for me personally, I find myself thinking of you two the most. You will always be in the hearts and minds of all of Duncan's friends.

Mary & Ken,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I only knew of Duncan through the proud stories told by you, Mary. It was very clear through your enormous smile that you have a love and connection with Duncan that is very strong.
My heart goes out to you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

My life is better for having known Duncan. He is one of the most gifted people I've ever know. He is loved by so many people and he was a good friend to me. I don't think he knew the impact he had in so many lives but it was a honor to have studied and trained with him. Words are inadequate, but I pray that his family and friends find peace and remember him with joy.

i spent most of my time with moody three years ago when i was just getting into my twenties and he was always someone i remembered as being so kind and smart and funny and helpful. i remember a few specific times when i'd be doubting myself he would tell me that i didn't need to worry and he'd honestly laugh at my joking reply. i was so excited to see him when he called me to visit. i'm sorry for your family's loss, for everyone's loss, and i've been thinking about it everyday. and i'll continue to, i hope this is some sort of support.

Mary and Ken, I was so saddened to hear of your loss and just wanted to express my deepest sympathy. I didn't know Duncan but I remember how the anticipation of his birth and the joy of his arrival brought you such happiness in what seems just those few short years ago. From what I've read in the guest book and obituary, Duncan grew up to be quite a remarkable young man. I will keep you in my prayers.

I wish I could send a warm hug from 2000 miles away, but my thoughts and prayers will have to do for now.
My fondest memories of Duncan include karaoke at the bowling alley, rides on the Duffy, and of course his sweet, gentle disposition.
It seems that he touched everyone who had the joy of being a part of his life; I am blessed for having known him.

Moody was bright flame, animated and inspirational. As a fellow student in the Tae Kwon Do class where we first me, he was open, outgoing and patient -- a role model even for those of us with a few years on him. I couldn't help but want to spend time with such a fun guy. As a friend, he was always up for a crazy adventure, a deep conversation or a great joke. I will miss you, Duncan. We all will.
My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Duncan's parents and family.

I just wanted to offer my deepest sympathies to Duncan's family. Duncan was a wonderful friend, he had an amazingly friendly personality and humor and was very thoughtful to all his friends. I consider myself very fortunate to have known Duncan as a student who then became a good friend. I still can't believe he is no longer with us. I wish the best to all those who loved him and am heartened to know that he will always be cherished.

I knew Duncan as a pre-schooler at Parkview Elementary. Duncan, your eyes were so big that they seemed to open to reveal your soul. What was found was a loving, caring, bright and gentle spirit.
Though I did not know you as an adult, I know the spirit I saw within you as a child... and I know that you have touched many lives. Equally, I know as many hearts came to deeply love you as well.
I believe the purity of a child is found forever within our souls.... Duncan, yours will always be remembered.

One of the best people I've known. He was an intelligent debater who was deeply interested in ideas. I will miss the discussions; I will miss his wit.
Duncan will be missed by all who knew him. I wish his family comfort in this time of loss.
