Marina Espinoza wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathy to your family. Mr Dunning was my teacher in middle school. He took us on various field trips that exposed us to a bigger world. We were kids from Woodburn that had never gone an hour beyond our homes. I am eternally grateful for his love, compassion and belief in our ability to be successful despite the barriers in our lives. He saw our humanity. That's something I will never forget. Rest in peace Mr. D!”
