Duncan Ferguson Crerar passed away peacefully in Sherwood Park, AB on Friday, December 2, 2022, at the age of 73 years.

Duncan was loved and will be missed by his two daughters, Marsali (Chris) Huolt and Neacaile (Barry) Cave; his grandchildren, Nellie, Darby, Brynlee, and Callum; his siblings, Margaret, Ian (Antonietta) and Cathy (Paul); his best friend, Jake; and extended family members, Dione, Daniela, Jordan, and Braeden.

He was predeceased by his loving partner, Gail Holst; brother-in-law, Ken; and his parents, Donald and Gertrude.

Duncan spent over 40 years practicing as a lawyer in Vermilion, Alberta. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed watching sports, whether it was the Blue Jays, the Oilers or “the kids”. He also took pleasure in playing baseball, where he made many lifelong friends. Those who knew him will not forget his unique sense of humor, trivia knowledge, dancing and love for oldies music. “Dunc” was one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
