Dunson’s funeral was held Saturday at the Greater Emanuel Apostolic Temple.
Friends say he was a warm person who brought people together.
“He was always just the connector of people. You always wanted to be around this guy,” said Steve Bester, Dunson’s lifelong friend. “Biggest smile, biggest laugh in the room, friendliest guy you’re ever going to meet — loved his wife, loved his family, and loved everyone.”
He said family meant everything to William Dunson and his friends are “determined to be sure that his memory will never be forgotten,” Bester told WCPO.
Unwin’s funeral was held on April 6.
