Todd L. Duncan

November 3, 1967 — April 3, 2019

Todd Lewis Duncan, 51, of Kasson, Minnesota, formerly of Red Wing, died April 3, 2019 at his home. He was born November 3, 1967, in Red Wing, to Gerald and Annette Duncan. He graduated from Red Wing High School. Todd's father died when he was 4 and he was raised at home by his mother, with the help of his sister, Debbie. He lived at home with his mother until adulthood before moving to Vasa Lutheran Home, and another group home in Red Wing. Later he moved to a home in Kasson where he lived for over a decade.
Todd was a sweet, loveable, determined, strong-willed and sometimes stubborn person. He liked to give hugs and had excellent manners. He would greet people with a handshake and say "Good Morning!" He would always say "please" and "thank you." If he would cough, he would say "excuse me." If he sensed someone around him was sad, he would ask if they were okay.
Todd loved living at his Kasson home with his roommates, Kenny, Mary, Beth and Belinda. He loved his home care providers: Carol (who he called Carl) Kim, Makanzie, Molly, Raveena (who he nicknamed Tuna) Linda, Katie and Jennie. Todd blossomed during his years spent at his Kasson home. His care providers loved and nurtured him and encouraged him to develop life skills to be a better person. They were very successful at achieving this and his sister, Debbie, will be forever grateful to them.
Todd looked forward to Monday so he could "go to work" which was going to Opportunity Services. While there, he would have social interaction, learn skills building, working on puzzles, ect...
Todd enjoyed going on group outings with his friends. They would go on picnics, go out to eat at his favorite place - Pizza Ranch, and shopping at stores in the community.
Todd's favorite foods were pizza, lasagna, cherry pie and "orange Coke". Todd liked all foods and had a good appetite.
Todd's other favorite things were music, especially Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys which he would sometimes sing along to. He also likes Kenny Rogers. Todd enjoyed watching his favorite movies; Speed, Uncle Buck and Home Alone.
Todd loved getting presents. He didn't always care what was inside, but he got joy from the act of tearing the wrapping paper off and opening it.
Todd couldn't always verbalize his thoughts and emotions with clarity, however those who knew him best could understand his happiness, sadness, joy and excitement.
Todd is survived by his half-siblings, Michael (Dorothy) Simonson of Newport and Debbie (Blaise) Byrne of Woodbury and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents and a half-brother, Bruce Simonson.
