Joseph Dunning Obituary

Published by Chandler Funeral Homes & Crematory - Wilmington on Oct. 4, 2014.
Our beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend, Joseph Edward Dunning was taken by God to be with Him in heaven, tragically, on October 4, 2014. Jed, as he was known throughout his life, was so full of life and love. He was always optimistic, cheerful, and always a shoulder to lean on. No words could ever describe our loss. He is survived by his parents, Alice V. Masterson, and Joseph M. Dunning, his brother, Brett Dunning, sister-in-law Elle Dunning, nephews Logan and Vincent Dunning, and many wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and coworkers. Jed loved and was passionate about his job at Mid Atlantic Waterproofing. He was a born salesman, and he loved it! Jed loved all sports, especially playing basketball in the park. We sincerely want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts, prayers, and expressions of love for our wonderful son and brother. God Bless you darling Jed. There will be a visitation for Jed at Chandler Funeral Home, 2506 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE 19803 on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for Jed on Thursday, October 9, 2014, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Helena's Church, 602 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, DE 19809. Interment Private.

As I read messages some memories started to come back and tears to my eyes. It has been so many years but I always will remember how funny and happy Jed would be everyday. I think he was more a great friend and a blast to be around. I remember he let me drive that red 2 door Honda (civic, if memory is right) when I was 17. I had driven manual car before but that car was a one of a kind.....lol! I had some trouble with controling the car and I saw Jed in the rear view mirror run after the car and I to help or save the car. I think that car was meant only for him to drive! Sorry for your loss Brett and your family. Wish I could of been there for you this week. Prayers for all.

Oh JED you were always such a funny light of sunshine and constantly loved life, girls and family. You were one of my very first loves when I met you at a diner one night with my friend Kate. We were 14 you were 18! what a night that was. You were so silly, outrageous and sometimes scared me driving on that Red car. I had 4 loves in my life you were my first, the second love of my life knows who he is, 3rd is my loving husband and 4 is my beautiful baby boy. JED you keep shining down from the white gates and my your family try to known you touched so many life's. my sympathy to your parents and brother.
