    David was the first person to really get to know my wife and I when we first moved to Nolan County in 1985. He was a great family friend and will be truly missed. I also had the honor of working with David in the Nolan County Sheriff’s Office for many years before he decided to move back closer to home turf. On behalf of myself, my family, and the Nolan County Sheriff’s Office, I offer our condolences to David’s family and we lift you up in our prayers.

    I just heard about your passing, Mr Duncan. I haven’t seen you in quite awhile, but I will never forget what a very considerate, respectable and kind person you were. You made people feel safe and secure when you were around. You never hesitated to help, or extended a helping hand to those who needed it, or got someone who could. You always had a smile on your face and always made people around you, feel welcomed and at ease. You had a knack of making people smile and laugh at the things you’d say or do. I will always remember you, Mr. Duncan. May you rest in peace and you always be in our our hearts.
