Purpose

Tim Dunn, at only 31, passed away unexpectedly on October 4, 2022, from an undetected aneurysm. A tragedy to lose anyone so young and made more difficult with Tim because of his impactful influence that inspired all those who knew him – from his wrestling team at WFHS and college to his clients and colleagues when working as an Associate Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual. His many friends became additional family members. The new scholarship for WFHS wrestlers and team-support members reflects the program that helped shape who Tim became. It also reflects the heart and practice of the Dunn family, namely, to invest in and support those around you.
