Jon "Chip" Dunn, husband, brother, and friend passed away on Friday, June 10, 2016 on his 59th birthday, following a brief illness, with "his gal" by his side at Martin Memorial Hospital, North in Stuart.
Chip was born on June 10, 1957 to Joseph and Arlene Cline Dunn in Akron, Ohio. He relocated to Stuart, Florida when he was 18 years old and where he called home for the forty plus years.
Chip recently celebrated forty years working for the "Stuart News. This is where he met "his gal", Maureen Newsham, who he married on October 25, 1991.
Left to share stories, laughter, and "Chip-isms" is his wife, Maureen; his mother, Arlene; brothers, Jeff and his wife, Pat, Mike and his wife, Cindy, and Kevin and his wife, Theresa. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, countless friends, and his Newsham Family in Michigan.
Chip was preceded in death by his beloved Pop, Joe Dunn, his sister, Debbie Lee, and his faithful dog, "Shoestring".
Chip lived his life by the Golden Rule, like none other. He lived his life simply and "doing unto others", literally giving the shirt off his back. He was the first to offer help when the situation arose and the first to welcome them back to his home for refreshment and to say "job well done".
A Celebration of His Life will take place on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 1:00 PM in the Chapel of the Treasure Coast Seawinds Funeral Home and Crematory, 950 SE Monterey Road, Stuart, Florida.
In lieu of flowers, please honor "Chip" by doing an act of kindness or help someone in need.
