We continue to remember and honor Brian with the Brian Duncan Memorial Fruit Tree Giveaway. Last year we gave away 75 fruit trees and 45 blueberry bushes ( he loved blueberries).

Our family is saddened to learn of Brian's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences. You are in our prayers.

Brian was a bright light in our Arbor Lodge neighborhood. Always there to help, joking with others and encouraging all. His chuckle and smile will be sorely missed by all who knew him in Portland.

Brian Duncan was a great and kind man and will be missed severely. Rest in peace Brian.

We'll always remember Brian as an incredibly unique and wonderful person. He installed our solar panels, and we were fortunate to meet a man so talented, good, kind, and caring. The memories people have of him will be his legacy, and what a special and wonderful legacy that is. Our hearts go out to his family. May everyone find peace and comfort in memories of the life he shared with you.

Duncan Family,



Sending heartfelt condolences. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
May the memories of Brian live forever in your hearts.

Prayers and Sympathy,
