The military officer was the breadwinner of his extended family.
The father of six had been in military service for more than 33 years after joining the Air Force in 1991.
His younger sister is also yet to come to terms with the loss of her brother. She learned about his passing on social media.
On April 11, a week before he was involved in the military helicopter crash at the border of Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot counties, Colonel Duncan Keitany made an impromptu visit to his rural home in Cheraik village, Eldama Ravine and had a long chat with his younger brother before they retired to bed.
The following morning, together with his brother Vincent Keitany, they went to oversee the tilling of his land before he left for his workstation in Nairobi.
