"The Man In The Green Truck"
Lile B Dunn
August 24, 1959 – October 11, 2026
Bonham, Texas -- Lile B Dunn, of Bonham, Texas, affectionately known as “The Man in the Green Truck,” passed away on October 11, 2026, at the age of 67.
Lile was a one-of-a-kind man who valued his freedom, independence, and love of traveling. For nearly two decades, his green truck was a familiar sight throughout the community. Though he could be quiet at times, those who knew him knew he could talk for hours and share stories. His unique personality made him unforgettable to many.
For approximately nine years, Lile's beloved dogs were his constant companions. They were more than pets; they were his babies and family. His devotion to them was a special part of his life.
Lile is survived by his three brothers, Marion Wade Dunn, Ron Jason Dunn, and Reece Boyd Dunn.
The community who offered Lile friendship, kindness, and support, their compassion helped Lile and his dogs move from life in his truck into a home of their own. Their generosity reflects Galatians 6:2 (KJV): *“Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ.” *
Lile was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Bobby Joe Dunn, and his parents, Mary H. Dunn and Ollie M. Dunn, and sister Lucretia Ann Dunn.
As we remember Lile, may those who mourn him find comfort in Psalm 34:18 (KJV): *“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart.” * May God's promise in Revelation 21:4 bring hope and peace to all who carry his memory in their hearts.
Lile will be remembered with affection by those whose lives he touched. Though his familiar green truck may no longer travel the roads of Bonham, his memory will live on in the hearts and stories of those who knew him. He will forever be remembered as **“The Man in the Green Truck.”**
A memorial graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Arledge Ridge Cemetery. Brother John Coonrod will be Officiating.
