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.
