Joshua Randell Dunn

**In Loving Memory of Joshua "Big Dunn"**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Joshua, affectionately known as "Big Dunn," at the age of 36. His journey began with an unwavering faith in Christ, a foundation he embraced early in life, culminating in his baptism at New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church under the guidance of the cherished late Pastor Dan Alexander Sr.

Joshua was a beacon of joy who delighted in the art of hairstyling and cherished moments spent with family and friends. His laughter was infectious, a sweet symphony that harmonized with the love he shared with those around him. A proud alumnus of McKinley Senior High, he was a spirited member of the renowned Big Blue Machine band, where he made music and memories that will echo in the hearts of many.

His vibrant personality left an indelible mark on all who were blessed to know him. Joshua’s presence could light up even the dullest day, reminding us all of the beauty found in laughter and companionship. He had a remarkable gift for touching lives, inspiring joy, and fostering connections that transcended ordinary moments.

As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate a life that was lived fully and freely, filled with love and laughter. Joshua leaves behind a legacy of warmth and a reminder to cherish every moment. Though he may be gone from our sight, he will forever remain in our hearts.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories, his mother, Sheryln Dunn Carter (Joseph Carter), his father Randolph Sterling (LaKisha), grandmother Mary Kelly, two sisters Jasmine and LaKesha Dunn, nieces Destiny Dunn and Da'Niyah Pierson, two nephews Riley and Royce Williams, bonus brother Joseph Spruell Carter, aunts Rhonda William an Kesia Branch (Nehemiah Branch), uncle Dedrick Freeman, Godmother Jackie Young, numerous cousins, other relatives and friends.
