Michael Dunn, age 70, of Mineral City, Ohio, died suddenly in his home on Monday morning, January 26, 2026.
He was born March 18, 1955, in Dover, Ohio and was the son of the late Arnell and Bessie (Patrick) Dunn. His first wife, Debbie Lynn (Conley) Dunn, passed away on May 18, 2005. Additionally, he was preceded in death by two sisters Mary Ann Wiltshire and Lacella Gross, and two brothers Arna Dunn and Paul Edward Dunn, Sr.
Mike retired in 2023 as a truck driver who transported explosives for Hilltop Energy at Mineral City. His primary interest involved his cars and drag racing at Magnolia Drag Strip. He was most content when tinkering with his cars or rebuilding engines in his garage. His other passion was enjoying the open road on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. When his health still permitted, he often enjoyed a day fishing or frog-gigging. Mike formerly owned and operated an upholstery shop in New Cumberland. He most welcomed and looked forward to his Sunday Morning conversations with his close personal friend Bruce McCreery. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be missed by his family and many friends.
