October 4, 1959 – December 15, 2016
It is with great sadness that the family announces his passing in his 57th year at St. Catharines Hospital. Son of the late Ivan Dunn Sr. and Huguette (Martha) Dunn and foster parents, George Richards and Ida Delaney (Richards). Survived by his brother Bruce Dunn, sister-in-law Cheryl Mowers & niece Michelle Dunn. Ivan will be forever missed by the Dunn Family, The Bisaillon Family and The Richards Family. Ivan was an incredible artist and a motorcycle fanatic. He also beat the Golden Gloves of Ontario back in his boxing days. His passion for these things led him to be a talented tattoo artist for some years. Ivan expressed unconditional love to so many; he would protect anyone close to his heart. He chose a hard path in life after a rough upbringing but his heart was always big and he never gave up.
Family and friends will be received at Hetherington & Deans Funeral Chapel, 5176 Victoria Avenue, on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 from 2-4pm. A memorial gathering will follow at the QUEEN'S HOUSE TAVERN, 2845 St. Paul Avenue, Niagara Falls.
WE LOVE YOU!
Dear Mister Tough Guy,
Or should we say BadAss?
Please do not fear,
In this horrible impasse.
We know you are strong.
It is time to be free.
The pain will be gone.
Your mother you will see
It has been a privilege,
To have your love for this long.
To be your lil sister,
Even when you're headstrong.
You've helped me grow into,
A beautiful strong soul.
Full of compassion,
And the need to console.
We know you'll be here,
Whenever we need.
You're apart of us now,
And forever guaranteed.
We love you Uncle Ivan,
Forever and for always!
You mean the world to us,
And our memories we'll praise.
