David Walter Dunn, 84, of Martinsburg, went home to be with the Lord, Tuesday morning, March 3, 2020. David was trusting Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the dead as payment for his sins, and his life verse was Romans 8:1-2: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death: (ESV).
He was born in Bland, VA, son of the late Guy Brown and Mary (Umbarger) Dunn. On August 25, 1962 he married Barbara Ann Brown in Northfork, WV.

He was preceded in death by five siblings: Emily Jean Chapman, Guy Jr., Donald, Karl and Ruth Carol.
