Carl Hampton Dunn Jr.

Carl H. Dunn, Jr., aged 79, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2024, in Manassas, VA. He leaves behind a loving family, including his wife of 50 years, Debbie Dunn; sons Carl Dunn III and wife Joanna, Bryan Dunn and wife Brynne, and Jeffrey Dunn and wife Dawn; grandchildren Sydney Braden, Zak Dunn, Emily Dunn, Luke Dunn, and Parker Robinson; and siblings David Dunn and wife Karen, Bruce Dunn and wife Beverly, and Christine McClanahan and husband Charles. Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Carl Dunn Sr. and Ruth Talbot Dunn, and his sister, Susan Dunn. Carl was an alumnus of Montgomery College and served honorably in the Army Reserves for five years. His love of cars led him into the automotive parts field where he worked for Champion and Merchants Tire in Manassas, VA. Before retiring, he decided to change industries and leverage his expertise in computers and logistics by managing a significant government contract for Serco. His wife and boys were his entire world and would do anything for them. From sports coach to Den Leader to Scoutmaster to Demolay Dad, Carl was always deeply involved in raising his three sons. With the love of his life, Debbie, he was able to spend many great years during retirement traveling to island resorts, visiting Jeff and his family in Seattle, visiting Bryan and his family in Florida, and was even talked into a bus trip to New York. The boys are very fond of all the memories of their Dad coaching their baseball and soccer teams and the countless hours spent turning wrenches working on Carl’s 1966 Ford Mustang. Carl was very involved with Grace United Methodist Church over the years with the building committee, Jr/Sr youth groups, and finance committees. His true passion was the friendships he had with his fellow Masonic Lodge brothers, which he recently celebrated his 50 years of service. During his Masonic career, Carl held prominent roles as his Manasseh Lodge as secretary for over 14 years, the Worshipful Master in 95, District Deputy Grand Master, High Priest of Royal Arch, District Deputy of Royal Arch, Shriner, Past Grand Royal Patron of Amaranth, DeMolay, and a member of Commandery Knights Templar.
