Kenneth Lee Duncan Jr. The Duncan family would move to Centerville, Utah, when he was just 3 years old. He spent his childhood outside riding horses, exploring the local mountain ranges and getting into mischief. He was a proud graduate of Davis High School, class of , where he loved playing football and baseball for the Darts. Throughout his life, Lee would always proudly stand and sing the school song as the DHS band marched by in local parades and during sporting events.
During his short time at Snow College after high school, he was the president of the rodeo club until he was bucked off his horse in front of the club members. He would later laugh about this humbling moment. Like so many experiences in his life, that moment would shape Lee and develop in him a grit that would serve him well. Lee served as a pillar of strength and example to all of us on how to navigate through tough times with a Christ-like humble attitude and grateful heart.
Lee had the honor of serving his country in the U. Army from June to May While stationed in Italy, he excelled at typing a whopping 22 words a minute and was honored as an expert rifle marksman, among other military honors.
After his Army service, he made the greatest and smartest decision of his life by convincing Laurel Forsberg to be his eternal companion. Through his words and actions, he always made it clear to his family that she was THE love of his life. Lee and Laurel enjoyed an amazing life together, full of family adventures. Among the many activities, the family enjoyed boating in all the different Utah lakes, Jeep off-roading, snowmobiling, snow-skiing, and of course, long Sunday drives with the family He loved anything that required reading a map to find that interesting less-known little town or landmark that has a great back-story and a Coke Zero pit stop.
Lee was unconditionally kind to all. He was loved and admired by so so many. He spent countless hours serving the youth of the church. Throughout his older life he would accept the opportunity to serve as a councilor in the bishopric of both the Centerville 6th ward and a YSA ward, St George temple worker and service missionary at the conference center on temple square with his sweetheart, Laurel.
