Mr. Nunn was born Sept. 11, 1972, in Visalia, Calif. A natural athlete and sports enthusiast, he excelled in football and was an award-winning wrestler in high school. Having a life-long love of music, he was a dance instructor and a self-taught guitarist.

While living in California he had worked as a heavy equipment operator, truck driver, welder and electrician, before attaining a position as superintendent of the northwestern district of Dover Elevators Service Department. At the peak of his career a fall left him disabled and in much pain. He moved to Mindenmines last year, where he quickly made friends and stayed busy. He was considered the “King of Recycling” and could turn something viewed by many as worthless into treasure. He shared his artistic talent and creativeness to raise funds for churches and was a wonderful cook. Above all else, he loved the Lord and his family.
