Our ex traordinary Tasmin Nicole "Vail" Duncan was born on October 27, 2000 in Aurora, CO to David Vail Duncan and Cheryl Brumbaugh-Duncan. Tasmin lived her life in Lakewood, CO, attending Bear Creek K-8, and then Lakewood High School until her untimely death on May 1, 2019, and was set to graduate with honors on May 18. Academically Tasmin excelled in all areas, achieving a 4.6 grade point average and had already completed a year of college credit. Tasmin had a unique ability with languages and by her senior year she spoke Spanish and French fluently which led to her acceptance with scholarships to several universities. Tasmin had selected the University of Michigan, the oldest and one of the top linguistic schools in the nation. As a student, Tasmin was multi-talented and was involved in a wide variety of activities and causes including National Honor Society, choir, swim team, the Breathe Easy Club and the American Music School where she studied piano and voice. Beyond academics Tasmin was incredibly creative as a musician and as an artist. She began composing her own music and lyrics at an early age and created unique styles of jewelry throughout her teenage years. Forever she will be missed in the hearts of her family and friends.

Tasmin is survived by her loving Grandparents, Jack and Doris Duncan of Akron, CO, and Philip and Barbara Brumbaugh of West Milton, OH, her proud parents David and Cheryl Duncan of Lakewood, CO, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family and friends who LOVED her very much.
