Duncan MacQuarrie Memoriam
1939 - 2025
Duncan Muir MacQuarrie passed away peacefully on October 28, 2025, in Olympia, Washington, at the age of 86. He was a dearly loved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend and colleague. He was passionate about his profession as an educator, and had wide-ranging interests, including nature, traveling, music, theatre, history, photography, fishing, hiking, birding, running, and sports. Above all, Duncan loved his family and friends, and we all loved him back.
Duncan is survived by his loving wife, Di; his former wife, Rosemary; children Scott (Leah), Tina, step-children Caitlyn (Aidan) and Matt (Suzette); and his cherished grandchildren, Danielle (Marc), Alex, Angus, Adair (Ivana), Devon, Logan, Rachael, Tyler, Ryan, Ariana, Alexis, Arika, and Lila; and his five beautiful great-granddaughters, Rayanne, Piper, Bishop, Ailie and Lakelynn.
Those who knew Duncan will remember his beautiful smile, quick wit, big heart, and generous spirit. In his memory, Duncan would love nothing more than for his family and friends to take someone to lunch, go on a hike, take in a concert, or enjoy a glass of fine Scotch whiskey with a loved one while laughing and telling stories.
Celebration of Life will be held on December 20, 2025 at 1:00 pm at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd 1601 North Street SE, Olympia, WA 98501
