With great sadness, the family, of Craig Ronnan Duncanson, announces the passing of their father, brother and friend at the Portage & District General Hospital in Portage la Prairie, MB on October 11, 2024, at the age of 63 years.
Craig was born in Wolfville, Nova Scotia on November 22, 1960. During his early years, Craig enjoyed spending time at the cottage at Aylesford Lake in Nova Scotia, the parties in Hortonville surrounded by many friends, enjoying his beer and a puff. Dad loved skidooing, playing softball, hockey and darts (shooting several 180s). He was a HUGE Toronto Maple Leafs fan rarely missing a game on TV. After moving to Manitoba he got to experience his first NHL game with Christopher; it wasn't the Leafs but he had the time of his life.
Craig began his career in the paving business at an early age working for his father at Basil Duncanson Enterprises, honing his skills as a roller operator. He was one of the best, travelling all over Canada (NS, NWT, ALTA), and ending his career in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba at Meseyton Construction, who were like family to him.
Craig was a very kind-hearted man. He had a great love of family and close friends and would do anything for them unconditionally.
Left to cherish his memory; his son Christopher of Portage la Prairie, his daughter Laura of Wolfville, NS, his faithful and beloved dog Micah, sisters; Janie (Andre) Merks of Gaspereau, Brenda Duncanson of Port Williams, Jacqueline (John) Kelly, and brother Bradford Duncanson all of Toronto, several nieces and nephews, along with special friends Brad Petrie and Shawna Wells.
Craig will be peacefully at rest with his family members; his parents Basil and Beverly, brother Colin, grandparents; Edgar and Agnes Weir, Cyril and Edith Duncanson, who have all gone before him.
Should friends so desire, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Box 2414, Toronto, ON M4P 1E4 or to the charity of choice.
In keeping with Craig’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
