Ed Lunnen Funeral Fund

Donation protected
My name is Nicholas Lunnen. I live in St George, Utah.  I'm raising funds for the funeral of my dear Uncle Ed Lunnen. He lived with my family for a few years along with his sister Doree (my aunt) when my Grandpa Lunnen was getting older. We were close in age and so he became the big brother I never had. The funds raised will all go toward funeral costs.  I will send the funds to Ed's brother Judge Robert Lunnen who is also my father.  He will then disperse the funds to funeral home, etc.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news that Ed Lunnen has lost his courageous 4 year battle with Colon Cancer.  

At the time of his passing Ed was only 39 years old.  He had yet to have a family of his own, and  was passionately pursuing his dream of being a Professional Beach Volleyball Player.  He was a big part of  the Volleyball community in Sunny California.
Ed was as kind as they come, and was as beautiful inside as he was outside.  Ed could make friends anywhere he went in a matter of minutes.  You knew you had "made it",  if he called you "Son", or said "I see you!"  If you knew Ed, you knew him to be in good spirits, to be happy, fun loving and with a good attitude.  You would never know the heartache he had already suffered.  Ed has already lost an older and a younger sister to cancer, as well as his dad at a tender age.  I imagine the reunion with his sisters and his dad  was of a beauty and joy that those of us left here on the earth cannot begin to comprehend.  

The purpose of this campaign is to offer one last act of selfless love and kindness to Ed, to raise only enough money to cover the cost of his funeral and to purchase a bench for Eds mother Melody.   A place where she can go sit with and spend time with her children that were taken too soon.
