Donald Ray Dunn's Obituary
Sunday August 25th, 2024, Donald Dunn, age 75, passed away peacefully in the presence of those he loved most. Above all, Don loved his family with all his heart and soul. Those that had the great honor of knowing him, will remember his unbelievably strong will and dedication to God, his family, his work, and his home. After a long career of committing his hard work and diligence at Columbia Gas, Don retired in 2010. He also worked as a groundskeeper for White Chapel Memorial Gardens and Ridgelawn Memorial Park. Prior to his time at Columbia, Don bravely and honorably served in the United States Army. Among many additional achievements and moments of perseverance during his enlistment, Don served in the Vietnam War and supplied the 101st Infantry Regiment. After his long career, you would often find him celebrating his freedom as he enjoyed nothing more than the open road and motorcycle. Don is survived by his eternally faithful and loving wife, Susan; his children and their spouses, Christine and Dave Wise, and Phillip and Michelle Dunn; his brothers, David, Danny, and Bruce; his in-laws, Mark and Teresa Spence, and Don and Linda Spence; his many grandchildren and great grandchildren, Christian, Dawn and her husband Jason, Sara, Tatum, Mallory, Easton, and Colton; step-grandchildren, Dagon and his wife, Andrea, Mikinlee, Adeline, and Theodore; his nieces and nephews, and his special caregiver and friend, Dwayne Scarberry. Don was predeceased by his mother, Cathern, and father, Edward; his siblings, Toby, James, Larry, Rose, Carol, Ralph, and Linda. The family would like to say a special thank you to the veterans and hospice nurses. One life cannot be condensed into words, rather, the spirit of immense love found within Don, now shines within those that loved him dearly. It is through his family and friends that his life and legacy live on. Please join us in honoring Don's life at 2:00 P.M. on Friday, August 30, 2024, at Hall Funeral Home and Crematory in Proctorville, OH, with Pastor Bill Blankenship officiating.
