The world lost a great guy, and a Bay Area mustang Legend, HE was a R O P teacher in hayward for many years,teaching auto body and paint,he also owns Golden West, i had the privilege to be in his class in 03-04, i was already into mustangs but he took my interest in mustangs to another level,i was able to work in shop for a few months, working on shelbys and his famous bullitt resto,i found out today that he passed away yesterday, after school, he went to his shop, and had a heart attack there,I really wish i had droped by to say hello before was taken from us, i learned alot for Him, and im not the only one,RIP Jeff dun you will be missed.

Yea, I found out this morning. Very sad to hear. For those that didn't know him, one of the nicest guys around, always had a smile on him. Took extreme pride in his work and was a perfectionist in all his projects with attention to detail. If you see any of his builds in person, you would know what I mean. He will be truly missed by his friend family and any mustang enthusiast. R.I.P Mr. Dunn

I graduated in 2008 coming out of Sanchez's class and have known Dunn for about 4 years. He was a great person that was always willing to help. I was going to stop by rop yesterday to say hi to everyone but didn't get to it.. now I wish I did. RIP Mr. Dunn. You will be missed.

I was in his class 04-05 learned a lot. I worked with him for two years thanks to him I meet a lot of friends in the mustang game. He was a good friend and a hard worker I can say that if it weren't for him I wouldn't be where I am right now....RIP Jeff Dunn.

Chris is no longer at his shop. And yes, I agree that Mr. Dunn looked healthy. But the way people look on the outside may not be the same as the inside. This just goes to show that life is very valuable and you should not take advantage of it.
