Not sure what to say?

Forest you will be missed ! I remember growing up and wishing I had a older brother to look up to .. I can still remember when I use to come over to hang out with hannah and you would be playing the guitar . Then you moved into the garage and all we had to do is stand on the sidewalk to hear you play . It was a talent my own father had and it would help me cope w/ ,my dad not being around to play for me ! You were a kind soul and a wonderful human . We will all miss you so much ! Shirley...

My heart goes out to all of you!!
I have waited on Forest at the Credit Union for years now and I
can't hardly believe that I won't ever get to see his smiling face
again. Forest was one of the nicest
members at the Credit Union when I had first started and he never changed. My thoughts are with you
Frances, Jessica and family. I hope that the wonderful memories you have of your time with Forest can help carry you through. Take Care.
Michelle Cappell,
your Credit...

Forest was the best brother a sister could ever have. He took care of me and
loved me a way that a brother should.
I looked up to him in so many ways. I wanted so badly to be like him and to for so long I was envious of his talents. I learned to appreciate him and to experience his love is something that I will always cheerish and hold close to my heart.
I love you always baby brother.

Forest,

When I met you, I was just a month or two into my move to Tucson, 19, scared to death. I was terribly shy at the time and for reasons I couldn’t understand, you took to me instantly. It was like befriending a rock star – I even told my mom about my new friend in a band – “they even have a tape, Ma”. I remember thinking, "this guy really has no idea he's exceptional". And you didn’t. And that was undoubtedly one of your greatest charms.

I remember some late night...

Larry, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking about you and your family.

I knew Forest for one brief year at Glendale High School when I had the privilege of "teaching" him. As he was already a creative and competent writer, I learned more from him than he learned from me. Years later I met his father in Fort Defiance when we taught at the same school. It put me back in touch with Forest and his unique talents, and the first CD of father and son remains my favorite Christmas music .

I also worked with Forest for a time in Tucson and we were all so young then. The memories are very sweet and Forest was such a great presence. Peace and love to all who were touched by Forest and his kind spirit. My thoughts to his family.

I met each of the Dunn siblings separately and knew them as distinct, yet intertwined people of a fun and loving nature. I remember the very first time I saw Forest walking down the street in Prescott, AZ, where we were all living at the time. I thought, whoever that is, he's Hannah Dunn's brother- it was something in the way he moved that just gave it away. I already knew I had a fondness for them all.
I got to know Forest more throughout the years because of my close friendship with his...

How do you feel in your little home
Do you think you're all alone?
Once a grain of sand could crush you
Once a drop of water could drown you.
Too fragile for human hands,
Feed on the rivers of blood and air.
Your mother's every cell cares for you,
But do you know I care too?
Written when Forest was in the womb by his father Larry Dunn.
You will live forever in my heart, my son.
