Joseph Roy Dunagan's Obituary
Joseph Roy Dunagan, father to five sparkling children, Adeline, Bayle, Jahsolin, Emily and Eliron, a loving husband to Amanda Dunagan, brother to Sharee, and son to Fransi and Tony, departed for heaven on the morning of February 3, 2012 after a 4 year battle with non-hodgkins lymphoma.
Joseph leaves a legacy of love and hope, invention and innovation that spreads his name with admiration across more than a dozen states of the union, several continents and a thousand living souls. It is with the greatest sadness and smiling hearts that we remember him, a loving friend and father, husband and son, in his own words: “I want you to recognize and remember that God has promised a time of peace to balance these hardships. I want you to be able to sense it when it comes, because it may not appear in the form you are expecting. Peace may simply be the clockwork embrace of your mother or siblings that never fail you. Peace may even only come after I have gone. Don’t ever lose your faith – I never did – and hold so so fast to the memory of the love I will always have for each one of you.”
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 from 6 to 8 pm at Found and Sons Funeral Chapel.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 11 am at Found and Sons Funeral Chapel with Rev. Dallas Smith officiating.
Interment will follow in Fairview Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Dunagan children, c/o Rev. Dallas Smith, Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, 19 Scrabble Rd., Boston, VA 22713.
Found and Sons Funeral Chapel of Culpeper is handling the arrangements.
