Thomas Duncan Jr. went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at the age of 81.
The son of Thomas and Virginia Atchley Duncan was born November 29, 1935 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a young boy he was raised in Tulsa. He attended Will Rogers High School, graduating in 1953. It was also in school that he met Beverly Rose, the love of his life. They became high school sweethearts, and were married September 5, 1953 in Sapulpa. The newlywed couple made their home in Tulsa, where Thom was working for OTASCO.
In 1962, Thom accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. This quickly led him into the ministry. In 1963, he began as a circuit preacher, traveling between, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas. A short time later, he took his first full-time position at Wright City, Oklahoma. Over the next several years, his ministry would move several times to places such as Purcell, Saranac Lake, New York, and finally to Inola in 1971. For several years, Thom pastored in Inola, before being called to move once again. This time he moved to Tulsa, Okmulgee, back to Inola, and finally to Big Cabin, where he officially retired in 2005. After retirement, Thom moved to Prague to live near his son.
In his spare time, Thom enjoyed fishing, gardening, family and friends, but most importantly, he loved preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
