Brett Duncan Obituary
After high school, he discovered his passion for cooking and studied at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, where he became a certified chef in Pastry. Brett honed his savory skills at several restaurants in the Bay area, along Burlingame Avenue, at the SFO Airport and more recently at Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae.
His favorite past times were playing video games, watching Bay Area sports (particularly the Sharks and 49ers) as well as anime, drawing, keeping in touch with special CCA friends, entertaining our two cats and all things in the Marvel and DC comic universe.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation or the Homeless Cat Network in Brett's name.
An intimate memorial service for family and close friends is being planned.

I have a very fond memory of Brett driving me home in my car from a Wed. night dinner meeting at the church when I felt very sick. He was such a kind young man to older people. My prayer are with you during this time.
