Richard Dunning Obituary
Age 70, of Xenia, OH, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2024 at his home after a 2 year battle with cancer. He grew up in Kettering and graduated from Fairmont East High School in 1972. Rick owned a successful Landscaping, Detail, and Design Business. He had a natural talent and vision for landscape design. In his leisure time, he enjoyed hunting, golf, cruising on his Harley, and snow skiing. Rick brought so much joy and laughter to the world with his contagious energy, infectious smile and
passion for life. He is survived by a loving family and many wonderful friends. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. His wish was to donate his body to the ANATOMICAL GIFT PROGRAM at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. A celebration of life will be at a later date.

Rick was a great man who came into our office at Green Velvet. I knew Rick for 39 years. He always made you smile and laugh. In the past year, he would bring in Easy who brought us great joy also. He will be missed dearly.

Rick landscaped our property on Tait Road and he was a master. but more importantly, he was my friend. I am broken hearted. He loved his family, his friends and his beloved pets. We will all miss this kind soul.
