Dave and Sue,
We never had the previledge of meeting your son Chad but from what I have heard of him and learned by reading the comments posted in this guest book, he was quite a guy. He obviously had lots of friends and made quite an impact on untold numbers of people. He was loved and will not be forgotten. Our prayer for you is that God will provide peace and comfort that He alone can give. We are deeply sorry for your loss and continue to pray for you and your family.

Sue, Kindness is never forgotten--bouquets sent by you and a pal when Nyann was nearing death. Losing a child is tough.
God Bless.

I always heard of Chad's great success and travels and it was nice to run into him out and about in midland NYC and Chicago and see he was still the warm hearted and witty boy I grew up with. I am deeply saddend by this loss as many others are. I will always remember the middle school years and times at Katie's house hanging out. Chad you will be remembered greatly.

Chad was a friend and we had nothing but good times together. He was an awesome person with amazing energy. I will miss him tremendously.
I want to commend and thank the family for having the courage and strength to prioritize the discussion of mental illness as a disease and the dedication to its treatment. Your family will be in my thoughts always.

I am so sorry to hear about Chad. I want to extend my sympathy to both of you and your family. I wish I could say something other than I'm sorry but only time will help with the pain. I remember him from Siebert with many fond memories. It's funny that in life our sorrow and joy come from the same source which makes the pain at moments like this so great ,only because of all the joy he brought. If there's any thing I can do all you have to do is call. Again I'm so sorry. I will remember him as the little boy I knew at Siebert.

My heart goes out to the Dunn family for their tragic loss. I was so saddened to hear the news this week and have been reminiscing Midland memories of Chad. Always full of personality and a friendly smile, whether it be roaming the halls of Siebert school or running into each other post high school. My thoughts are with the Dunn family and all those of Dow High class of 2000 that are thinking of you!

I had the privilege of growing up with Chad in Midland and will never forget all the good times we had.
It was amazing to see him blossom into such a kind, fun-loving, and down-to-earth man, who always did his best to see the good in someone, regardless of his shortcomings.
I'll forever remember the heart-to-heart conversations we had on the rooftops in San Diego, LA, Chicago, NYC, and any other random place we happened to be at together. Janie and I will miss you, Dunner.
Although this tragedy leaves a gaping hole in our hearts, we are comforted in the fact that you are no longer in pain. To the the Dunn family - our thoughts, prayers, and hearts are with you in this incredibly difficult time.
Much love, Dunner. Until we meet again.

Thanks for all the memories catching footballs you throw during one of hundreds of touch football games we'd play during recess at Siebert Elementary. I also remember you hitting clutch free throws during a summer basketball camp to win the game for our team.
Rest in Peace.
