AUBURN – Jerry L. Dunn, of Auburn, passed away suddenly on Thursday, May 29, at his home.

He was born in Lewiston to Amos A. and Marilyn (Skinner) Dunn. He was raised in Poland and graduated from Oxford Hills High School, where he exceeded in gymnastics. In 1974, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as an aircraft maintenance specialist and was honorably discharged in 1977.

His past employers were Kamaan Industrial and Eastern Bearings Inc.

He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter, fisherman, archer, boater, snowmobiler who also loved exploring up north to parts unknown and enjoyed the serenity of his camp nestled in the mountains on his own pond. He also loved to go moose watching and eagle watching. His joy was the flight of eagles soaring, nesting and caring for their young. He also enjoyed playing jokes on his friends and family.

Survivors include his companion of 16 years, Monique Gagnon, of Auburn; his daughter, Amanda Dunn and his grandson, Colby Kittredge; his parents, Amos and Marilyn Dunn; his sister, Darla and spouse, Warren Morrill, his twin sister, Sherry Sears, and his other set of twin sisters, Marlene Burns and companion, Carl Larochelle, and Carlene and spouse, Rick Arseneault; several nieces and nephews; as well as uncles, aunts and numerous friends; and his loving, rock-hopping dog, Dolly, that he spoiled as much as he could.

He will be sadly missed by all. He is free to fly with the eagles forever.
