IN MEMORY OF JIM AND CORY.

 

Your Memories and Thoughts...

We extend our upmost gratitude to Rick Wilde of Rebelsled.com for the most memorable times of Jim & Cory's racing experiences. The video has touched many hearts and Cade and I will cherish it forever. Also many thanks to all those people in our community & racing circuits both in Canada and the USA who sent their sympathies & memories of Jim & Cory to the website.

Remember Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but by the ones that take our breath away.

May God Bless You & Safe Racing
Helen & Cade Duncan &
Extended Family & Friends

Hey Rick!

Just wanted to compliment you & your website. Everytime we open rebelsled's site, so impressed that the Duncan Memorial is still there!!
Can you please keep this going for as long as you can....everytime we get ready for a race, travelling to a race, at a race, or when we return from a race Jim & Cory are present in our conversations. Seeing their sleds restored and being raced again by their friends, is truly an honour to their memory, and quite honestly it makes us personally proud to know the people that get it.............. our passions live on through our family & friends & the things we loved doing...and it does show with great pride!! Hats off ladies & gentleman!!
Seeing Helen at the Canwood races was very refreshing! What a great lady!! To see her come out to the races & to see her smile when those sleds ran again, was all we needed to see... As Jim would say, "Exaaaaaaactly!!!" Of course Cory would be grinning right about now.....probably still is:)

Had the opportunity to meet them 10 years ago at my brother-inlaw Ken at
Lake of the prairies

with tremendously. We will miss his enthusiasm and sense of humor.
Are condolences to Wife and mother Helen.

A beautiful tribute to Jim and Cory Duncan. I live in Russell
and the community expresses condolences to Helen.

I just wanted to thank whoever that put on the tribute to Cory
and Mr. Duncan. I grew up in Russell but have since moved
away. So it was nice to see Cory happy.

Thanks, Tanis

 

Jim and Cory will be missed in their home community as well
as their racing circle. I think the video that you have made is
a great tribute to a couple of great guys.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this
extremely difficult time. Not only the immediate family but
the extended "rebelsled" gang. To lose someone so close, so
tragically, is something none of us will ever be able to grasp.
Cherish your memories as they will live on forever.

Sincerest sympathy

Thank you so much for your tribute to Jim and Cory. Never
understood their love for Arctic Cat, but It was definitely them
one thought of when you said Cat...

Shelley Polding

A great father and son team.
Jim and Corey were dedicated and very intense when racing
their fleet of drag sleds.After a race they could always put a smile
on your face.They will be greatly missed.
Our prayers go out to the family.

Cory was a very awesome person, he had a sense of humor
like his father. They were both great pool players and I enjoyed
the times I got to be his pool partner. May God Bless them.

Maureen Martin ( Bodnariuk)

Jim and Cory were two of my best and favorite customers at the GM dealership in Dauphin. Always loved talking sleds with them. Jims giggle still makes me smile when i think of him. Stopped at his shop one day while in Russell and couldn't believe the hospitality.
Forever in my thoughts. Always missed two great guys.
