Duncan, Mark 1961-2025 St. Joseph, Mo.

Mark Duncan, 64, St. Joseph, passed away Sunday, March 2, 2025. He was born on March 2, 1961, to John Duncan and Peggy Green, in St. Joseph.

Mark was a proud Lafayette High School alumnus, working later for over 15 years in the wire rope industry and in Walmart.

A passionate individual, Mark’s life was enriched by his love for the outdoors, his favorite being the tranquil afternoons spent fishing. As an avid Raiders football enthusiast and Nascar racing fan, his spirited cheers and excitement filled the rooms on game days. He also found joy and camaraderie in playing video games.

He is preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Ashley; and his brother, Ron Duncan.

Mark is lovingly remembered by his children, Melissa Bratton (Scott), Michelle Toelle, Austin and Michael Duncan; his grandchildren, Olivia Bratton and Keely and Kylee Peterson; and his siblings, Julie Duncan-Beahler (Michael Goodman) and Chris Wright (Jim); and his beloved cats, Gizmo and Ms. Kitty. Mark’s absence leaves a void, yet his memory will always be remembered by his family and friends.
