Richard Earl DUNNAHOO was born July 21, 1945, in Garwood, Mo. He was the son of Charles and Helen May (HALL) DUNNAHOO. He moved with his family to West Liberty, Iowa, as a young child. He married Mary SMITH, and the couple later divorced.

Richard had previously worked for Hon Industries in Muscatine, Iowa. Several years ago, Richard joined the workforce at the former Metromail Group (now Innovaire). He worked in the company warehouse until his retirement.

Richard was known to his friends as "Kool-Aid," a nickname that was originally his CB handle. He enjoyed playing the lottery and a good drink with friends. Even more so, he loved to "buy a round" for his friends. Richard liked to fish, and especially enjoyed a good fish fry. Known as a "flirt" to his friends, he was known to always have a joke ready to tell.

Those thankful for sharing in Richard's life include a son, Jimmy DUNNAHOO of North Carolina; four brothers, Charles "Bud" DUNNAHOO of Columbus Junction, Larry DUNNAHOO of Muscatine, Donald DUNNAHOO of Rocky Mountain, N.C., and Robert DUNNAHOO of Des Moines; a sister, Shirley CALLAN of Cozad, Neb.; one grandchild, James Lee DUNNAHOO; and one great-grandchild, Chloe DUNNAHOO. "Kool-Aid" is also survived by his adopted Mount Pleasant family, Tim and Ruby Hummell, Mike Hummell, Noah and Wendy Hummell and Noel and Christina Hummell, and all of the Hummell's children, Brittney, Ashley, Dylan, Kaven, Quenton, Aurora, Jaedyn, Zaybyn, Sterling, Auston, Dalila and Drake.

His parents, a daughter in infancy, Janet, his former wife, Mary and a brother, Ron precede Richard in death.
