Donald Keith Dunham, 77, passed away suddenly on February 26, 2007. Don was born November 4, 1929, in New Haven, Wyoming, to E.W. and Mabel Dunham. He moved to Chino Valley in 1965.

Don is survived by his wife Polly, with whom he shared 57 years together; daughters, Tawny Lynn (Cole) Kite, Chris (Dan) Paxton, Sharon (Dan) Sullivan; and sons, Steve (Bridget) Dunham and Kelly Dunham; a sister Barbara of Kalispell, Montana; 13 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Richard, who died in World War II; and a grandson, Michael.

Don will be remembered for bringing beauty and joy to every life he touched. A quiet, thoughtful, and loving man, he was proudest of his children. Prior to an extended stint as a mail carrier during Prescott Valley's early growth period, he owned and operated Chino Valley Thoroughbred Farm and Dunham Roofing.

Private family services are pending. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the American Heart Association.
