Edward Marcel Dunn departed on December 23, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Edward Marcel Dunn (A.K.A Eddie, Ed, or Marcel), depending on your relationship with him, was the devoted husband of Naneesha Dunn, loving father to Prophet Mason, Bishop Dunn, Messiah Dunn, Blessings Dunn, and Serenity Dunn.

He was the beloved son-in-law of Sherry Minor of Newport News, VA, he was the big/little brother and confidant to Erronda Mears (Harley Mears) of Hampton, VA, Gustin Smith (Rakisha Smith) of Newport News, VA, and Shannon Dunn (Jamel Walme') of Newport News, VA.
