Duncan Rowe Bickle, age 15, was born May 1, 2002 in Waco, TX.  He left this world the way he came in...on his own terms on January 20, 2018.  Duncan was a loving son to Jason Trent and Shelia Michelle (Pirtle) Bickle, a wonderful big brother to Madeline "Mattie" Grace Bickle and Sullivan "Sully" Pierce Bickle, and favorite human to Rocky-dog and puppos, Kaylee & Zoe.

Duncan attended Denton High School and had found his place in the band playing tuba.  He had achieved the rank of Life Scout in Boy Scouts, all the while excelling in all advanced academics. Duncan was a passionate video gamer and had been casting an eye to the future in the field of Computer Science.

Duncan is survived by his parents and siblings; uncle Scott Bickle, aunts Rachel Silverstein, Kimberlie Cardona Weiss, and Kelsee Bickle; grandparents Charles Barty "Bart" Pirtle and Patricia "Pat" (Bayless) Pirtle, Ronee (Rowe) Bickle and husband Armon Hart Bickle, Richard Jack Bickle and wife Vonna (Webre) Bickle; godmother Catherine "Casey" T. Boland; and countless friends, with Connor being the best.

Duncan's life will be celebrated on Thursday, January 25, 2018 at 4 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Flinn Hall in Denton, TX.

Duncan's wish to be an organ, eye and tissue donor was honored in keeping with his generous and kind nature.  He also had a huge heart for the animals with whom he shared his life.  If you would like to honor him, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to the Denton County Animal Shelter ( https://dentonasf.networkforgood.com/ ).
