Roy Duncan, son of Roy and Madonna Duncan, passed beyond this mortal world September 7, 2024 at UK Hospital. Roy led a very full and vivacious life, collecting an eclectic and dedicated group of friends across the world. He was an active member in various organizations in Lexington and participated regularly in charity fundraising. Roy had a penchant for travel and prided himself on his sense of adventure and wonder. Professionally, Roy worked as a social worker for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for many years where he formed lifelong bonds and changed the lives of all he championed. A fierce advocate, he believed that everyone deserved the chance to live their dreams. Roy is preceded in death by his grandparents. He is survived by his mother and father, his two brothers Casey and Ricky Duncan, as well as an array of friends who loved him completely.
"And I'll remember The love that you gave me Now that I'm standing on my own I'll remember The way that you changed me." -Madonna
Memorial Service Saturday, September 14, 2024 at from 6pm- 7pm at Nelson Frazier Funeral Home, Martin, Kentucky with Gary Mitchell officiating

I´m so saddened to discover this. I never had the opportunity to meet Roy in person but we ultimately connected online over our love of pop culture, horror films and all things John Carpenter. Absolutely loved this man´s smile, his exemplification of kindness, and infectious sense of humor. Just an all around very like able person. The world is definitely worse off without him.

I remember Roy Duncan would tell me that there are a lot of fundamentalists Christians out there and he would always tell me to have an open mind about life cause we're never promised tomorrow. I miss Roy. I'll see Roy in the afterlife some day.
