Gail Duncan
Cedar City UT United States
1920 ~ 2015 Our beloved father Gail B Duncan Completed his mortal life , a t home, February 6, 2015, in Cedar City, UT. He was born the third o f nin e children to James Alonzo Duncan and Jessie Ann Barkdull in Meadow , UT , February 10, 1920. Seven of his siblings, his wife, and one great- grand child preceded him in death. He is survived by his sister Stella An n Math ews, his children JoAnn Duncan (Daniel M.) Jones and Gail Neuman ( Lucind a Alvey) Duncan, 11 grandchildren, and 35 great-grandchildren.
Gail was married and sealed in the St. George Temple to Audrey Jones Hou c hen, September 14, 1944. Their union was one of love, joy, faith, testi mo ny, kindness, and unity. The sentiment in their song, "I'll be lovin g yo u 'Always'," was exemplified by Dad as he cared for Mom when she con tract ed Alzheimer's Disease. Gail is affectionately known as Opa to hi s grandc hildren. He was pleased to receive his son and his seven grandso ns into t he Eagle's Nest, and to help support his grandsons and two gran ddaughter s on their LDS missions. Dad's greatest legacy to us is his exa mple of se rvice, love, and hard work. He helped support his parents thro ughout thei r lives. Each year he grew a beautiful garden and shared th e harvest. Hi s neighbors continue to express their appreciation for hi s unselfish hel p in their yards and homes.
Gail graduated from Millard High School as the student body president . H e was an outstanding athlete in football, basketball and track. In 19 39 , armed with an academic scholarship, a bicycle, his father's best jer se y cow, a sack of flour, and some bottled peaches, he made his way to B A C in Cedar City, where he earned his Associate's Degree. He graduated f ro m Utah State University with his Bachelor's Degree, and later, from th e U niversity of Nevada with his Master's Degree. Gail served his countr y a s a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. From 1949 t o 19 85, his employment was with Vocational Rehabilitation. He loved hi s clien ts, and helped many handicapped people become trained for and rec eive job s. In 1966, he was named State, Regional, and National Rehabilit ation Cou nselor of the Year.
Dad served God by living a life of honesty and integrity and by servin g i n many capacities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Som e of his callings include Bishop, Stake President, and four mission s wit h his sweetheart: England Coventry, Cedar West Stake, Church Employ ment C enter, and The St. George Temple. Dad loved family history, and pr oduce d the book, "Ancestors and Descendants of James Alonzo and Jessie A nn Dun can." Through his efforts, hundreds of his kindred dead have recei ved the ir temple blessings.
Gail was truly a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfa t her. All of us have tender memories of fishing and camping trips, fami l y gatherings, and reunions that he so lovingly organized.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 21, 2015, at 1:00 p m i n the 2nd Ward Chapel (256 S 900 W, Cedar City).
