Members, Families, and Friends of the Homestead ARB Cadet Squadron -
We received the tragic news that one of our members, Cadet Technical Sergeant Merrick Dunn, died as a result of an automobile accident in Tavernier, Florida on May 5, 2025. As a member of our squadron for nearly a year now, Merrick was always a pleasure to be around. Courteous and polite, he was a quick learner who rapidly rose through the ranks and graduated from the Florida Wing Winter Encampment in January.
He came to CAP as the guest of a friend and he in turn brought several more friends to join us. Throughout his time in CAP, Merrick was an active and engaged cadet who was friendly and welcoming to all around, serving as an Element Leader and helping to mentor junior cadets for several months after being promoted to the noncommissioned officer ranks. We will all miss him dearly.
Please keep the Dunn family in your prayers and on your mind as they navigate this difficult time as best they can. We will let you know when we hear about arrangements for services and any other opportunities to support Merrick's family. With a heavy heart and in deepest sympathy,
Lt. Col. Brian E. Crane, CAP
Commander, Homestead Air Reserve Base Cadet Squadron
Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Auxiliary
