A long time Pine Lake Beech Island Resident and good friend to many!
Gary
Alan Dunn has joined his heavenly father and can once again hold his infant
daughter, Sarah. Born to Joseph and Lucille Dunn of Kalamazoo, Gary was
fortunate to have his brother Barry (Phyllis) Dunn as both a role model and
protector. The two built a bond that lasted a lifetime. A graduate of Loy
Norrix High School, Gary joined the army in April 1970 and was quickly
promoted to Sergeant while serving in Vietnam. Gary went on to work at
Stryker, Farnsworth, Midway Chevrolet, Rex Hayes, and most recently
Centerpoint Church. Gary met his beautiful wife Linda through their work at
Stryker. On September 23rd they celebrated 42 years together. His greatest
joy was spending time with his children Laura (Kevin) Slater and Jake
(Shanna) Dunn and grandchildren Eric, Jackson and Alaster. Gary always made
his kids his number one priority. Whether it was choir concerts and cheer
leading events, or the myriad of sports teams that he coached, Dad's
presence was always a strong one. He was passionate about baseball,
especially the Detroit Tigers, and treasured the many years he spent with
family and friends out on Pine Lake. As a member of Centerpoint Church he
found strength through prayer and his faith in the Lord. Always a positive
light, there was never a doubt how much Gary loved his friends and family.
Be it a text, call or hug, it was evident that he was constantly thinking of
those he loved. Gary will be greatly missed.
