Duncan Frederick Graham Millar passed away on June 24th, 2022, at age 68 after a two- and half-year battle with dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Duncan leaves behind his wife of 27 years, Martha, children Alexandra, Charlotte and Malcolm and stepsons Angus and Geordie. He will be sadly missed by his siblings Rob, Douglas, and Cynthia.
Duncan was a true representative of the Renaissance man. He was well educated both formally and through his voracious appetite for reading and learning which led to broad interests that spanned politics, global religions and relations, social justice, and fairness. He was an avid sailor of all forms of wind powered crafts, loved to ski, and snowboard, was a dedicated curler and all-around athlete. His exceptional talents lay in his tremendous creativity expressed through his Art that hangs on walls throughout the world, his cooking that made dining out even at the finest establishments a let down, his music, and his ability to fix or build just about anything. People and animals were attracted to him, and he had a special knack of quickly developing a genuine and intimate interest in new acquaintances that often led to lifelong friendships.
His innate curiosity which served him well in learning about people, history, and astrological facts, travelling and living around the world, also contributed to his experimentation with alternative educational experiences which many of his friends enjoyed and still talk about today.
No one who had the privilege of meeting Duncan will forget his curly hair, twinkling eyes and sophisticated sense of humor. He taught us all a lot. He will be missed.
A memorial for Duncan will be held at an Art show of his work in the fall of 2022 in Toronto. Please contact myoungermillar@gmail.com for dates and location. Please consider donations to CAMH addiction research in his name.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Duncan Frederick Graham Millar June 24th 2022..
