Mr. Theran Douglas Dunbar

August 12, 1950 - May 16, 2019

Theran Douglas Dunbar, son of the late Theran Dunbar and the late Mary Jane Dunbar, was born Saturday, August 12, 1950, in Harrisburg, PA. Known as “Moon” by family and friends, Theran graduated from the former John Harris High School, Class of 1968, and retired from PPG Industries, Carlisle, PA. Theran and his wife Patricia were the proud, loving and devoted parents of three children, Denise, Theran and Daneisha, and the loving, doting grandparents of ten grandchildren. Theran, known as “pop-pop” by his grandchildren, their friends and the community, was always happy to attend and support the grandchildren’s events. Totally devoted to his entire family, Theran also enjoyed “game-night,” movies and sharing a meal with his siblings. He was a kind, friendly man who made a new friend or maybe even two new friends everywhere he went. An avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Sixers Fan, Theran also enjoyed traveling, shopping, collecting memorabilia and gadgets--he could fix anything. Theran was united in Christian fellowship with DaySpring Ministries, Middletown, PA, where he served with the Video and Men’s Ministries and previously with the Maintenance Ministry. On Thursday, May 16, 2019, at sixty-eight years of age, while at his Harrisburg home, Theran exchanged mortality for immortality joining in eternal life his loving wife of forty years, Patricia M. Dunbar; his father, Theran Dunbar; his mother, Mary Jane Dunbar; and his sister, Jerrilyn Cofield. Theran Douglas Dunbar leaves to cherish many special and irreplaceable memories his children, Denise L. Short (James), Theran D. Dunbar (J`Leigh) and Daneisha Dunbar-Yancey (Aaron); his grandchildren, Jordan, Jheran, Journee, Aryn, Darius, Maya, Taryn, Emmanuel, Jared and Toryn; siblings, Terrian Lawrence, Phillip Dunbar, Gilinda Cousar, Jeffrey Dunbar (Valerie), Kara Jones (William); and a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
