Duncan Nickel-Ng Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our handsome son, loyal protector, sweetheart, funny boy, adventure buddy, best friend and all around best boy. Duncan was always up for adventure, as long he was with his mom and dad. He’s traveled to over half of the United States in his short ten years. Visiting 14 national parks, swimming in 4/5 Great Lakes and paddle boarding during most of his travels. Duncan was a true outdoorsman. He’s stayed in A teepee in the Arizona desert, camped atop a mountain in the Grand Tetons, snorkeled in the Florida keys, frolicked in the sand dunes, backpacked and cross country skied. He also enjoyed hiking, biking , occasionally hitchhiking and going potty all over the country. While he occasionally “ruffed” it during trips, he also enjoyed the finer things in life. He sampled every kind of food he could get his paws on, he’s stayed in an airstream treehouse, RV’d the upper peninsula of Michigan, cozied up at various ski resorts, and sported gear for every occasion to adventure with his folks. When he wasn’t traveling, he enjoyed pup pops, daily park visits and walks, chasing ducks, barking at the delivery carriers and spending time with his family, who loved him deeply. Duncan was an incredibly strong boy, who overcame the many obstacles thrown his way. He’s had over 9 surgeries, both of his knees replaced, Lyme Disease, arthritis, slipped discs and idiopathic epilepsy. It’s incredibly unfortunate that he was diagnosed with an incurable cancer (hemangiosarcoma) or else we know he would have overcome that as well. But it wasn’t without a lack of trying as he went well past the timeframe the doctors gave him, which wasn’t surprising if you knew him. To say he will be missed is an understatement. You’re forever in our hearts, Duncan. We love you and miss you immensely.
