Cynthia Dunnigan

Birth Date: 1971-07-11

Deceased Date: 2019-03-07

Obituary:
Cynthia Eunetta Dunnigan, age 47, passed away peacefully March 7, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born July 11, 1971 in Chattanooga, TN to the late Walter T. Dunnigan and Jacqueline Brown.

 

Cynthia and her family moved to Oak Ridge, TN in the early 70s. At a young age, Cynthia joined Oak Valley Baptist church where she used her beautiful voice to sing in the choir. After years of living away from Oak Ridge, she recently re-dedicated her life to Christ and re-joined Oak Valley Baptist Church where Reverend Derrick Hammond is the pastor. 

 

Cynthia was educated in the Oak Ridge School System. In her junior high years, she became heavily involved in athletics. She participated in basketball and track at Jefferson Junior High from 1985-1986. She went on to become a vital part of the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcat basketball and track teams from 1986-1989, where they won state championships. Because she was so dominant and powerful in sports, Cynthia earned the nickname “Powerhouse”. She continued her education and basketball career by attending The Ohio State University, on a full athletic basketball scholarship.

Cynthia had a love of music. One of her favorite pastimes was listening to Gospel music, where she would use her beautiful voice and sing along with each song.  She was an avid sports fan and spent many afternoons watching various sporting events on TV.  Her personality was larger than life. She always had a smile on her face and a joke on her lips. Her vivacious personality was a crowd drawer, always making people around her laugh.  Everywhere she went she made friends and never meeting a stranger.

She was very dedicated to her family, especially her daughter Cornisha.  Cynthia embraced every moment and every day she had with her family. 

There will be a heavenly reunion as Cynthia joins those who preceded her in death; Eddie and Erma Choice, grandparents; Jacqueline Brown, mother; Walter Dunnigan, father and  Davion Brown Sr., nephew.

Left to carry on Cynthia’s legacy:  David Green, companion; Cornisha Clemons, loving daughter, Deadrick (Vanessa) Brown, brother, Tracy (Donna) Brown, sisters, Sheila (Herbert) Booker, and Ginger Perry; nephews: Ka'Vaughn Brown Cutno, Montinique Freeman Jr., Jamel Jones Jr., Jamir Jones, Marcquece Booker, Deadrick Brown Jr., Patrick Harris Jr., and Davion Brown Jr.; nieces: Future Brown, Mylena Jones, Takeera Brown, Deidra (Jimel) Jones, and La’Toya Brown, and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins that will cherish her memory.

Saturday, March 16, 2019, the family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with funeral service to follow at Oak Valley Baptist Church, 194 Hampton Road, Oak Ridge, TN 37830.  Reverend Derrick Hammond as the eulogist.  Interment will immediately follow at Oak Ridge Memorial Park where a white dove release will conclude the service.  Flowers may be delivered to the church the morning of the service.  Professional arrangements entrusted to Patton Funeral Home, Brian L. Buckmon, LFD 1-800-824-8283 or www.pattonfuneralhome1962.com

Brian MacQuire

Birth Date: 1970-12-04

Deceased Date: 2023-04-09

Obituary:
 

Brian Earl Macquire unexpectedly died on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, at the age of 52. He was born in Paris, Tennessee on December 4, 1970, to Bonnie and Gary Macquire. Brian grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 1989. After high school graduation he moved to Boone, North Carolina and obtained dual degrees in Sociology & Psychology at Appalachia State. He later moved to Bradenton, Florida and managed a night club for a few years. Over the last 25 years, he owned and operated the Kwik Pick Lock & Key and was greatly skilled in his trade as a locksmith. He married the love of his life, Tonya Macquire, and they would have celebrated their 23rd year of marriage this May.

 

Brian was preceded in death by his son, Elijah Warren Macquire.

Brian is survived by his wife, Tonya Macquire and their children Ashley McGee, Madiline “Corey” and Drake Macquire, and their grandson, Mark Carmichael all of Parrish, Florida. Additionally, he is survived by his parents, Bonnie and Gary Macquire, his sister, Jeannie Macquire, nieces BreAnna and Jada Robinson, and nephews, Cameron and Justyn Robinson all of Oak Ridge, TN.

Special childhood friends who have remained close during adulthood, include Tony Taylor, Rob and Charlie Solomon, Tom Appleton, and Jason Callahan. Other special friends include Leon Quellette, Robert “Big Rob” Miller, and J. Nutter, and many other fellow locksmiths (too many to name). 

Brian was known for his kind-hearted nature and found positives in every situation. He had a witty sense of humor and the biggest smile you ever saw. If you ever met him, he would make you feel like you were his best friend. He enjoyed fishing, Green Bay Packers football, experimenting with cooking, but most of all enjoyed being with his family of which he loved more than anything. Brian was the best person, husband, friend, son, father, brother, uncle one could ever imagine, and will be dearly missed. 

On behalf of the family, we invite you to his Celebration of Life ceremony at 12pm on Friday, May 26, 2023, at Robert Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Manasota Memorial Park, 1221 53rd Avenue, E. Bradenton, Florida 34203. Father Kenneth Bailey will be officiating the service.

Cynthia Dunnigan

Birth Date: 1971-07-11

Deceased Date: 2019-03-07

Obituary:
Cynthia Eunetta Dunnigan, age 47, passed away peacefully March 7, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born July 11, 1971 in Chattanooga, TN to the late Walter T. Dunnigan and Jacqueline Brown.

 

Cynthia and her family moved to Oak Ridge, TN in the early 70s. At a young age, Cynthia joined Oak Valley Baptist church where she used her beautiful voice to sing in the choir. After years of living away from Oak Ridge, she recently re-dedicated her life to Christ and re-joined Oak Valley Baptist Church where Reverend Derrick Hammond is the pastor. 

 

Cynthia was educated in the Oak Ridge School System. In her junior high years, she became heavily involved in athletics. She participated in basketball and track at Jefferson Junior High from 1985-1986. She went on to become a vital part of the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcat basketball and track teams from 1986-1989, where they won state championships. Because she was so dominant and powerful in sports, Cynthia earned the nickname “Powerhouse”. She continued her education and basketball career by attending The Ohio State University, on a full athletic basketball scholarship.

Cynthia had a love of music. One of her favorite pastimes was listening to Gospel music, where she would use her beautiful voice and sing along with each song.  She was an avid sports fan and spent many afternoons watching various sporting events on TV.  Her personality was larger than life. She always had a smile on her face and a joke on her lips. Her vivacious personality was a crowd drawer, always making people around her laugh.  Everywhere she went she made friends and never meeting a stranger.

She was very dedicated to her family, especially her daughter Cornisha.  Cynthia embraced every moment and every day she had with her family. 

There will be a heavenly reunion as Cynthia joins those who preceded her in death; Eddie and Erma Choice, grandparents; Jacqueline Brown, mother; Walter Dunnigan, father and  Davion Brown Sr., nephew.

Left to carry on Cynthia’s legacy:  David Green, companion; Cornisha Clemons, loving daughter, Deadrick (Vanessa) Brown, brother, Tracy (Donna) Brown, sisters, Sheila (Herbert) Booker, and Ginger Perry; nephews: Ka'Vaughn Brown Cutno, Montinique Freeman Jr., Jamel Jones Jr., Jamir Jones, Marcquece Booker, Deadrick Brown Jr., Patrick Harris Jr., and Davion Brown Jr.; nieces: Future Brown, Mylena Jones, Takeera Brown, Deidra (Jimel) Jones, and La’Toya Brown, and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins that will cherish her memory.

Saturday, March 16, 2019, the family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with funeral service to follow at Oak Valley Baptist Church, 194 Hampton Road, Oak Ridge, TN 37830.  Reverend Derrick Hammond as the eulogist.  Interment will immediately follow at Oak Ridge Memorial Park where a white dove release will conclude the service.  Flowers may be delivered to the church the morning of the service.  Professional arrangements entrusted to Patton Funeral Home, Brian L. Buckmon, LFD 1-800-824-8283 or www.pattonfuneralhome1962.com

Brian MacQuire

Birth Date: 1970-12-04

Deceased Date: 2023-04-09

Obituary:
 

Brian Earl Macquire unexpectedly died on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, at the age of 52. He was born in Paris, Tennessee on December 4, 1970, to Bonnie and Gary Macquire. Brian grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 1989. After high school graduation he moved to Boone, North Carolina and obtained dual degrees in Sociology & Psychology at Appalachia State. He later moved to Bradenton, Florida and managed a night club for a few years. Over the last 25 years, he owned and operated the Kwik Pick Lock & Key and was greatly skilled in his trade as a locksmith. He married the love of his life, Tonya Macquire, and they would have celebrated their 23rd year of marriage this May.

 

Brian was preceded in death by his son, Elijah Warren Macquire.

Brian is survived by his wife, Tonya Macquire and their children Ashley McGee, Madiline “Corey” and Drake Macquire, and their grandson, Mark Carmichael all of Parrish, Florida. Additionally, he is survived by his parents, Bonnie and Gary Macquire, his sister, Jeannie Macquire, nieces BreAnna and Jada Robinson, and nephews, Cameron and Justyn Robinson all of Oak Ridge, TN.

Special childhood friends who have remained close during adulthood, include Tony Taylor, Rob and Charlie Solomon, Tom Appleton, and Jason Callahan. Other special friends include Leon Quellette, Robert “Big Rob” Miller, and J. Nutter, and many other fellow locksmiths (too many to name). 

Brian was known for his kind-hearted nature and found positives in every situation. He had a witty sense of humor and the biggest smile you ever saw. If you ever met him, he would make you feel like you were his best friend. He enjoyed fishing, Green Bay Packers football, experimenting with cooking, but most of all enjoyed being with his family of which he loved more than anything. Brian was the best person, husband, friend, son, father, brother, uncle one could ever imagine, and will be dearly missed. 

On behalf of the family, we invite you to his Celebration of Life ceremony at 12pm on Friday, May 26, 2023, at Robert Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Manasota Memorial Park, 1221 53rd Avenue, E. Bradenton, Florida 34203. Father Kenneth Bailey will be officiating the service.
