Carlton Roy Duncan

DUNCAN Carlton Roy 26.6.1963 - 20.7.2021 We are devastated by the loss of our inspirational, beautiful and courageous Carlton Roy Duncan, who lived his life to the full and left us on 20th July 2021. Our hearts are forever broken and we miss him every day and will never forget him. He had an enthusiastic and positive outlook on his life and is now at rest near to his beloved dad. Carlton Roy was hard working, loyal and kind, he touched the lives of everyone he met. We are so sorry that we will never ever see his beautiful smile or hear his infectious laughter again but we are extremely proud of everything he achieved, how talented and gifted he was, his wonderful life and for all the joy he gave us. His family will be loving him always, so may he rest in peace. A true legend Carlton Roy Duncan.

Carlton, what is going on? Aunty Ivy and now our beautiful cousin Pam, have now come to join yourself and Dad. We're all beyond devastated, as you have all been leaving us two or three at a time, every year since 2019. I am mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted and the misery is only compounded by the fact that yourself and Dad are not here. Really, really miss you both. Love always heartbroken sis x

Three years today our beautiful Carlton reluctantly left us all. They say that time is a healer but it most definitely is not true. Everyday there is something we all want to talk to you about or hear about your travels, or just to hear that infectious laugh of yours. Absolutely devastated by your loss, will never get over it especially after you put up a titanic battle to live so long and positively with such a horrible and cruel disease. You deserve to still be here as you always remained positive even on the days when you suffered so much pain. All you ever did was bring so much joy and laughter to this world and how desperately sad that a person like yourself is no longer here in a world that needs you. The light and beauty you brought to this world has gone Carlton but I will make sure it will never diminish. Love you forever, sis x

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
On 20th July 2022, was a year since the passing of our beloved Son, Brother, Nephew and friend Carlton Roy Duncan. How could it be a year since his passing everyone has asked. It is still so hard for his family and friends who all truly loved him, to come to terms with his monumental loss. What a sad and totally devastating year it has been without him as well. Carlton you may have gone way too soon, but your light is still shining brightly and will never be dimmed. We are all thinking of you every day and our memories, and love for you will always be forever in our hearts. Mum, Tony, Isaac and myself spent a lovely few hours by your grave on the 20th July to show you our love and devotion. So rest in peace Carlton Roy. We all love and miss you terribly. Love always Sis xxx

Carlton words cannot express how much all our lives have been affected by your premature loss. You were our inspiration, our hope, joy and our life. Now that you are no longer here, the positivity and the joy of life has sadly gone with you. And every waking day is a struggle as we think of you constantly. We are all so lost without you. So hard to take in the fact that we will never hear, see or speak to you again. Absolutely heartbroken. Loving you always and forever in all our hearts, our beautiful, beautiful Carlton Roy Duncan xxx
sharon duncan February 1st, 2022
I promise you Carlton, that not a day goes by that you're not thought of or spoken about, by famil, friends and all those who truly loved you. That's how much you are missed. I don't know what days are worse, the cold, wet miserable ones knowing that you are lying at rest in the cold or the lovely bright ones knowing that you're not here to enjoy them with the energy and enthusiasm that you always did because you were a complete sunworshipper and an active participant of everything life had to offer. Loving you always ****
sharon duncan December 25th, 2021

Coming to the end of the year and the pain of your loss, is becoming more and more unbearable for mum, Tony, Isaac and myself. But we have been sharing some wonderful and hilarious moments that we all had of you. There is no time limitation in our opinion of how long you should mourn the loss of a loved one. So we will always remember you with love, affection and the deepest respect for the rest of our lives. Love you Carlton forever in our hearts and minds. The strongest and most courageous man we knew XXXXX

Carlton was a wonderful man, truly inspirational and larger than life.

Thinking back I knew Carlton for some 30 years. I was initially friends with Carlton sister Sharon and after meeting Carlton his infectious nature grew on me, we hit it off instantly and became friends. I have always stayed in touch with Sharon to this day and consider her to be one of my closest friends. Carlton and Sharon spent a period sharing a place together in London. It is so funny because over the years as Carlton and myself began to hang out and spend more time together Carlton and Sharon would playfully argue when we were all together about who's friend I was. Sharon would insist I was her friend because she initially knew me first and Carlton would insist I was his friend because of the amount of time we spent hanging out together. I used to go out with Carlton to clubs and parties, Carlton introduced me to his close circle of friends to which I also got to know and we would all hang out and socialise together. I even went away with Carlton to Miami on a lads holiday which was an absolute blast and which I still have fond memories to this day.

I just want to say once again it was an absolute pleasure knowing you Carlton. You are and will be deeply missed. You rest in peace big man. I would like to send my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Carlton family for their loss. Raymond

My brother Carlton Roy Duncan was a former pupil of Chalford C of E Primary School and Manor Secondary School Eastcombe and played football for Brimscombe and Thrupp Social Club as well as being an athlete at Gloucester athletics club.
He loved all sports and keeping himself fit and being very active. He loved his family and friends just like he loved life and travelling. He is greatly missed by all who truly loved him.
sharon duncan October 29th, 2021
Carlton was not only my brother, infact the oldest out of the four siblings but he was my hero and role model. He suffered a terrible illness and courageously battled all the way to the end. He continued to work, travel and play golf for as long as it was possible and did so with a positivity and strength that was absolutely mind blowing. Whilst other people would complain about mundane things, he would continue to try and remain upbeat and positive and laugh and joke. I am so happy that he was my brother because he was so well loved and admired and achieved so many great things. He was an exceptional athlete, a talented footballer, a competitive and good golfer and always strived to be the best at everything he attempted to do in his life. So even though we have lost a lovely human being too soon, his life was and will not be in vain. Oh I nearly forgot he always said he was the best looking in the family lol and he really thought he was a great dancer (bless him he wasn't too bad). My mum, his brothers Tony, Isaac and myself miss him so much it is hard to put into words. He was such a larger than life character that it is still hard for us all to process that he is no longer here with us. So it is not goodbye Carlton because you can and will never be forgotten. Love always your one and only Sis ****
