Our prayers are with his family and friends! He died doing what he loved! God bless him

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our great friend Mike Duncan. He has been a staple at so many places over the years with his phenomenal photography. For 9 years he and his lovely wife Judy have been with us at the Art of Music Festival helping out any way that they could. From taking great pictures to helping set up food services to helping clean up and really anything we asked them to do.
Mike was a piece of our Balsam Range family and will be greatly missed. He was always smiling, happy, and enjoying life….we will miss you Mike.
Judy, we love you. You and your girls will be in our thoughts and prayers
