Jeff Dunn 1945 - 2011

Jeff Dunn passed away Wednesday January 12, 2011. He passed away from a heart attack. He passed doing what he loved and didn’t suffer any pain. He will be missed not only by his family and friends but also by the mustang, muscle car, and restoration community. Jeff was a tradesman, craftsman, and all around perfectionist. There will never be another Jeff Dunn. Golden West is closing its doors out of respect that no matter how hard we would try, it could never be the same as when Jeff ran the business. Rest in Peace Jeff, we all are so fortunate to have known you and learned from your wisdom of the trade. We love you man, and we will see each other again someday. Until then, you will remain in our hearts and minds. Thank you for sharing the times we did when you were here. It is those memories that I (Doug) will never forget for the rest of my life. I am a better person because of you. You were like a second father to me. We really lost a great one.

Jeff loved music. Everything from big band, 50's rock and roll, disco, 80's new wave, 70's/80's metal, to even some rap. So to pay tribute to Jeff, here are 2 songs that he loved.

First song is a song that I dedicate to him. He was a big WWII enthusiast, and loved big band music. Jeff, we will meet again.. :

This is a depeche Mode song that Jeff played all the time. It was his favorite video of them as well.
