Laddie DUNSON Obituary
Born October 28, 1952, and resided in Dayton, Ohio, and died on May 12, 2021. Chris
attended Miami Chapel
Elementary School, Dunbar High School, and received a full scholarship to Bowdoin
College in Maine. Chris loved music and was an excellent singer and musician. He
enjoyed his long career at LexisNexis; however, he had retired. His greatest accomplishment was when he became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. This gave him the knowledge to have Bible studies with others searching for Bible truths. Chris is survived by his wife of 15 years, Paris; sons: Jasun, Daniel, and Tim; daughters: Erika and
Candace; 4 grandchildren, 5 brothers, 6 sisters, and a host of family and friends. Preceded in death by father, Albert, stepfather Odell and mother Marie. Chris died treasuring the thought that the Bible does give hope to the dead, not in Heaven but here on Earth. Memorial Services will be held on May 22, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. (EST) via Zoom streaming - ID 9161672232 and Password 092813 (http://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20131001/is-there-hope-for-the-dead/)

Just found this and I am so sad. Laddie was a really great man and I worked with him at Reynolds and Reynolds for a few years. He was always upbeat and cheerful and I was honored to call him "friend". I remember to this day that people at R&R were so biased toward him and other like him that I was forced to have hard talks with him that he and I reminisced about many times, years later. I wish I had kept closer with him and I have always thought about him when I see disparity in the work place today. He is greatly missed.

Brother Dunson was like another father/uncle to me because of my tight bond with his daughter Erika. It was always natural for him to just approach me and start checking to make sure I had been ok.. He would immediately ask me about my parents. Then we would move into my friendship with Erika. He would offer to help if he could with whatever. I remember when my mother was in testing to see if her sugar levels were controllable and did not understand how to use her diabetic meter. He told her he would help. And he did! He stuck to it.
When he would tell his stories, I could see him going back into time and catching details.
My heart goes out to his children, especially Erika and Jasun. Yet, also Tim, Candace and others who became his children in love. It also goes out Paris-with her warm smile. I am sending heartfelt love to his brothers and sisters-it is a different pain to lose a sibling.
Looking forward to the day when Jehovah dies away with death forever.
