- Alan Duncan Munro, recently of Keizer, Oregon lost his long battle with cancer and Alzheimer's disease, on January 30th, 2021. He was born on April 3,1952 in Shelburne, Vermont. He is survived by his loving parents, Alan and Constance "Connie" Munro, long time residents of Juneau, AK. He is also survived by his wife of 37 years, Melanie Munro and their only son Scott, currently of Keizer, Oregon.
He was a loving big brother to his siblings; Donald Munro of Seattle, WA, Peter Munro of Juneau, Carol Munro-Scribner of Pahoa, HI, Jean Munro of Des Moines, WA, and Meg Smith of Palmer, AK. He was preceded in death by his brother, Scott Munro and his life long friend and brother-in-law Frank Nowlin, who introduced him to his wife Melanie, 40 years ago. He also has a myriad of in-laws, outlaws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that he loved dearly! Duncan moved from Vermont, to New York City and then Nashville, TN in 1968, where he lived until he and his wife made the cross country trek to Juneau in 1984. He and his family moved to Oregon in 2010, where he resided until his death.
Duncan retired in 2007, after 22 years with the State of Alaska, starting in Community and Regional Affairs then moving to various positions at Fish and Game, Retirement and Benefits, and retiring at the Department of Labor. He had previously worked at the State of Tennessee for 13 years. While there he made the National Enquirer while attempting to enforce the new Highway Beautification Act and called "a pea brained bureaucrat", which tickled him immensely!
He was proud of his Scottish and Italian heritage. His mother and father were adopted by a loving Tlingit family, Duncan was proud of his Raven culture too. He loved fishing in Alaska! He prided himself on getting his limit each trip. Never had a bad day fishing! He was also interested in local, state and global politics and loved a good debate, especially with his parents! His family loved him dearly and are deeply saddened by his illness and passing. He fought hard for over six years and his family will miss him but are happy his passing was peaceful and faithful.
