Roger Duane Dunn Obituary (2025)

Roger Duane Dunn, 65, of East Wenatchee, Washington, entered the gates of glory on March 30, 2025. Roger was born on October 4, 1959, in Leavenworth, Washington, to Clifford and Lyda Marie Dunn. He was raised in the Wenatchee Valley, alongside his ten brothers and sisters, and graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1978. Shortly after, Roger began his lifelong career with BNSF Railway, where he faithfully served for 42 years. He retired in 2021 as a respected foreman, admired by his crews for his dedication and leadership. On December 29, 1989, Roger married the love of his life, Camille. The two met at Eastmont Baptist Church, and from the moment their eyes met, sparks flew. Together, they built a beautiful life and a loving family, one that continues to grow, yet remains closer than ever. Saturday mornings in the Dunn home often began with the comforting sight of Roger in his favorite chair, sipping a black cup of coffee, reading a Clive Cussler novel, petting a dog or cat he swore he didn't like that was snuggled up beside him. A natural-born athlete, Roger excelled at nearly every sport he tried. Even after his playing days, he continued to share his passion by coaching his children's teams and cheering louder than anyone else in the stands. But above all, the most important thing to know about Roger Dunn is that he loved the Lord his God with all his heart, soul, and mind. His faith was the foundation of his life. He taught Sunday school, raised his children in the church, and showed unwavering kindness to those around him. Whether snow blowing a neighbor's driveway, thatching their lawn, or opening his home to children in need of love, Roger lived with his eyes open to the needs of others, and taught his children to do the same. Roger is survived by his beloved wife, Camille Dunn, his children, Grant (Ashley) Dunn, Taylor (Jessica) Dunn, Kimberly (Trevor) Pynch, Jocelyn Dunn and his cherished nephew, Charles Lundgren, as well as siblings, Glenda, Alice, Phil, Catherine, Maryland, James. He is also lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Xander, Obi, Maverick, Kenzie, Grace, Hannah, and Nora. He is preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Lyda Marie Dunn, his brothers, Paul and David, and his sisters, Janice and Carolyn.
