US ARMY VETERAN
The family of Mr. Morgan R. Dunne, a US Army Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the services, and the LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Morgan Redmond Dunne (SSgt, USAF; SGT, USA), 43, passed away on March 9th, 2026. He was born on October 11th, 1982, at Ft. Bliss, Texas.
Morgan’s childhood was filled with sports and the arts. He developed a love for bicycle riding as a young child and went on to become an avid motorcycle rider and car enthusiast. He easily made friends in all the communities he was a part of – through cycling, riding, art, and performing.
Morgan graduated from Cerritos High School in California in 2000. He was a standout in the school’s theater program where he performed in numerous musicals. He received the coveted “Mr. ABC” award for his leadership and positive impacts on his fellow students.
Morgan then served six years on active duty with the United States Air Force, where he trained as an air traffic controller and as a heavy construction equipment NCO. Morgan then leveraged those skills while assigned to Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, and during operations in Qatar and Afghanistan, where he helped refurbish runways and buildings on U.S. air bases in those countries.
Morgan transitioned to the United States Army and served for three years at Fort Hood, Texas, as a Combat Medical Health Care Specialist. It was at Ft. Hood that Morgan earned the prestigious Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) on his first attempt, and only 3% of his class successfully completed that course. Morgan was then certified and inducted into the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. He was his unit’s EFMB subject matter expert and personally prepared more than 30 soldiers to compete for the EFMB. Due to the depth, breadth, and scope of his medical and tactical abilities, Morgan was selected as the senior medic for his Squadron Commander’s Personnel Security Detachment during overseas deployments and for rotations to national training centers. The Surgeon General of the Unites States Army formally affiliated Morgan with the Army’s Medical Department Regiment, a regiment with more than 200 years of service to the Army and to our great nation.
After Morgan achieved a nearly perfect score on the Army’s Physical Fitness Test, his First Sergeant personally selected him to attend Ft. Hood’s Master Fitness course. Morgan then served as a primary fitness trainer for his unit. He was the Honor Graduate of Ft. Hood’s Non-Commissioned Officer Academy’s Warrior Leadership Course. Morgan then served his unit and our country with a deployment to Iraq. He was honorably discharged from both the Air Force and the Army and always cherished his
service in the military.
Upon leaving the military, Morgan was employed by a private heating, ventilation, and air conditioning company. He coordinated all related documents and requirements for their federal, state and private construction contracts.
Morgan also pursued a variety of engineering and psychology courses at colleges in Texas and California. But he was most passionate about 3-dimensional art. He therefore began a program in that field at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. They were so impressed with his talent they facilitated his transfer to Gnomon, one of the top institutions in the world for visual effects, game design, and digital arts.
Morgan always had a special heart for his grandmother. He personally served as her care-giver and took her to all her medical appointments. When she was diagnosed with cancer, he successfully coordinated to have her receive treatment at the Ceder Sinai Hospital in Los Angels, one of the most well-known and respected hospitals in the United States.
In keeping with his love for helping veterans who also suffered with PTSD and substance abuse, Morgan volunteered as an assistant PTSD counselor at the Dream Center Foundation in Los Angeles. They also have a church, and that is where Morgan accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. He will always be remembered for his love for helping others–no matter what their needs were.
Morgan had great faith in Jesus’ power to heal. He was thrilled to share the sermons he listened to, and the progress the veterans were making with whom he was working. And his faith in Jesus continued to deepen. He always talked with his family about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Morgan is survived by his grandmother Pok Sun Kim; father and mother Don and Misuk; sisters Jacqulaine, Britt and MJ; brothers-in-law Daniel, Michael, and Derek; uncles Myong Ho and Keiran; aunts Cindy, Elena, and Rene; cousins Andrew and Phillip, Liam and Catherine, Tess, and Keenan; nieces Corinne and Naomi, and Yuna; and, his best friend Ruben.
