Thomas T. Dunn

Tommy was born the oldest of three in Dallas, Texas to Harold Truett and Verna Dunn on June 25, 1942. He graduated from A.C. Jones High School in Beeville, Texas in 1960. Growing up in Beeville, Texas, Tommy embarked on countless adventures with his childhood companions, forging bonds that endured a lifetime.

Tommy tackled various roles throughout his career, from operating heavy machinery to handling the delicate task of transporting explosives for his dad and uncle.

From 1964 to 1966, Tommy proudly served his country in the United States Army. He was stationed in Berlin, Germany as a medic.

On April 29, 1967, he married the love of his life, Joyce Smith in Beeville, Texas.

Tommy and Joyce later moved to Durango, Colorado, where Tommy worked as a reserve police officer for the Durango Police Department and also worked for a logging company.

Returning to Beeville, Texas, Tommy and Joyce established their own business, Tommy Dunn Bulldozing, which they successfully operated for 32 years.

Later in life, Tommy pursued a career as a truck driver, eventually becoming a truck driving instructor.

Over their 49 years of marriage, Tommy and Joyce welcomed three children into their lives: Von, Jon, and Jason.

Tommy found joy in simple pleasures, including watching John Wayne movies, fishing (especially on the rare occasions he actually caught something), tinkering with scanners and ham radios, and indulging in his favorite treat, ice cream.

Tommy was a devout member of the Lord's church, attending the services at the Bangs Church of Christ in Bangs, Texas.

Tommy is preceded in death by his parents, Harold Truett and Verna Dunn, and his beloved wife Joyce Dunn.

He is survived by his brothers Ronnie Dunn (Beth) of Boerne, Texas, and Dennis Dunn (Cindy) of Sugarland, Texas.

Tommy's legacy lives on through his children: Von Dunn of Spring, Texas, Jon Dunn of Santa Anna, Texas, and Jason Dunn (Carrie) of Liberty Hill, Texas. He is also cherished by his grandchildren Savannah Steel (Jacobi), Tyler Dunn, and Wyatt Dunn of Liberty Hill, Texas, as well as great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Tommy will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his strong work ethic, and his kind heart that touched the lives of all who knew him.
