August 27, 1959 - January 2, 2025
Richard Allen Duncan passed away on January 2, 2025, in Stockton at the age of 65. Born in Stockton, California, he had lived his life in the greater Stockton area. In 1978, Richard married the love of his life, Sandra Renee Veazey, and had two children, Nicholas and Holly. While Richard only fathered two children, later in life he would be seen as a father figure to so many more individuals who entered his life. Richard was the successful business owner of Rick’s Trucker Repair and later Holly’s Heavy Haul. He was a skilled truck driver, master mechanic, and general tinkerer. During the late 1980s and 1990s, Richard led the Outrageous Country Modified Pulling Team as their Lead Driver, Builder, and Mechanic. He was proud of his Native American Heritage and being a member of the Cherokee Nation where he recently took up an interest in learning Tsalagi, the native language of the Cherokee.
Richard is preceded in death by his daughter Holly Amelia Duncan, his mother Cora D. Duncan, his father Jack Duncan, and his sibling Jack Andrew Duncan. He is survived by his wife Sandra Duncan, son Nicholas Richard Duncan, brother Gary Duncan (Chie), sister Donna Gumm (Doug), nephew JD, nephew Brandon, niece Amanda, and niece Kristy.
