Monroe Lodge #22 F&AM

Brethren,

Those of you who knew Brother Theron Dunn (Moreno Valley #804, CA), and many who did not but may have read his work in various online Masonic fora, will be saddened to hear that he has, in all but the most basic physical sense, crossed the threshold to the Grand Lodge above. Brother Dunn was a prolific contributor to many Masonic websites, particularly his own weblog, Beacon of Masonic Light. He was admitted to the hospital last Friday with total kidney failure, due to a ruptured ulcer. Though not expected to make it through the weekend, he held on for several days. Today, test results have shown that there is no brain activity, and his physical body is now being kept alive only by machines, until his family members all have the chance to see him one last time. (Update: Brother Dunn has passed away. He was 51. Too, too young.)

I did not know him personally, and I don't believe I ever directly interacted with him online, but he did write some very interesting and insightful essays on Freemasonry. I would recommend visiting his weblog while it still exists, and reading some of them. I imagine that his close friends and Brothers will preserve the work he did.

I ask your prayers for his family and friends.
