Michael was born and raised in Jackson County.  Born to Andrew Ellis Dunn Sr and Helen Marie Floore Dunn, Mikes's story began on September 8, 1948. 

Mike was a self-employed car salesman and served six years in the Army National Guard. Those that love him the most describe him as having a big heart and a hard head, both attributes prominent in his daily life.  He loved spending time on the water and fishing. You could always find him telling stories and jokes. He took great pride in being a grandfather, and loved to ride his grandchildren around on the lawnmower. Above all, gathering with family for sports games, shrimp boils, and giving car advice were his favorite pastimes. Mike's life is a testament to the memories that all who know him will cherish and share forever.
