Duncan, Ila Rhodes, Juanita Strickland, and Alice Duncan; a grandson, Matthew Craver; and his beloved poodle, Tiny. Survivors include his children, Charles Warren Duncan, Jr. (Rhea) and Geana Duncan Craver (Brian), all of Lexington; and grandchildren, Heather Hammond (Chris Grey) and Josh Craver (Ashley Coggins); and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Monday, January 31, in Forest Hill Memorial Park Mausoleum, with Rev. Clyde Akers officiating. Entombment will follow in the mausoleum.
