Robert W. Dunn, 68

Robert W. Dunn, 68, of Osburn, Idaho, passed away March 30, 2018, at his family home. His parents were Robert C. and Alma M. (Shaw) Dunn of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

He was born in Ione, Wash., on Feb. 12, 1950. He moved with his family to Coeur d’Alene at the age of 9. He grew up and attended school in Coeur d’Alene.

He married Erma (Taylor) Dunn on Nov. 15, 1980, in Wallace, Idaho.

Robert was a log truck driver and also drove low boy and ran heavy equipment. He later became a highway trucker.

He and his wife have lived in Osburn since 1998. He loved camping, hunting, fishing and spending time with his family. He cheerfully gave of his time to his community, whether playing Santa at the library or clearing bushes from fire hydrants. In the winter, he snowplowed for the neighbors. He loved to joke and tease, and had a great sense of humor. He was a loving, giving man.

He is survived by his wife, Erma Dunn of Osburn; and by their children, Shane Dunn of Rathdrum, Idaho, Sheena Dunn of Athol, Idaho, Lane (Glenda) Keller of Idaho Falls, Lynette Hauser of Idaho Falls and Tammy Schonhans of Osburn; brother Richard (Joyce) Dunn of Coeur d’Alene; and brothers-in-law Stan (Vicki) Taylor of Wallace and Jim Taylor of Wallace. His 16 grandchildren were his joy. They are: Amber (Joe) Keller, Jade (Adam) Bybee, Cameron Keller, Mae Hauser, Vanessa Gill, Alex Schonhans, Kyle (Brook) Schonhans, Jason Schonhans, Trinda Babor, Jackie Babor, Jake Babor, Belinda (Chris) Farrens, Robby Dunn, Joe Morgan, Danielle Morgan and Jessica (Curtis) Nees. There are eight great-grandchildren with two more on the way. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Alma; sister Sandy and daughter Tina.

There will be no funeral, but there will be a celebration of life at a later date.
