Thomas Louis “Tommy” Dunn, age 52, of Navarre, Florida, passed away on February 1, 2025. A retired New York City firefighter, Tommy dedicated his life to service, compassion, and unwavering bravery.

Tommy proudly served with the FDNY, assigned to Engine 240 in Brooklyn. His courage and dedication were especially evident in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, where he took part in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center.
