Kelly Dunbar, 65, of Bridge City, Texas, passed away on April 18, 2018, at his home.
Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on October 9, 1952, he was the son of Hazel Rushing Dunbar and Lane Dunbar. Kelly worked as a paint foreman by trade until 1999 when he went to work for Foreman’s Construction as a Chemical Applicator until retiring in 2013. He was devoted to reading the Bible and the word of the Lord was very dear to his heart. Kelly loved baseball and was a diehard Astros fan. His daughter meant everything to him and he loved spending time with his grandchildren. He also adored his little dog, Buster, who had been his constant companion for the past several years. Kelly was quick witted and had a huge sense of humor that was enjoyed by many on Facebook these last few years. He loved his family dearly and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Lane and Hazel Dunbar; sisters, Delane Navarre, Carolyn Dupuis, and Sally Trahan; and brother, Dale Dunbar.
He is survived by his only daughter, Kerri Dunbar Vega and husband Kevyne; granddaughters, Sara Hoffpauir and Ariana Vega; grandsons, Rayce Vega, Sebastian Vega, and Dason Vega; brothers, Ronnie Dunbar, Joe Dunbar, and Tommy Dunbar; sister, Vickie Foreman and husband Tom; along with many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held prior to the memorial service, beginning at 1:00 p.m. at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City.
I remember that Bridge City guy all the way back from grade school. My condolences to all the Dunbar family.
I will miss his quick wit, and the poems he would post, most of which were his own. Just wish we had gotten to spend a little more time together.
Kelly Dunbar was great a Brother-In-Law and dear to my heart. God be with the Dunbar family as you go threw this hard time, and prayers goes out to the family.
Our prayers are with the Dunbar family in the loss off Kelly. You will not hear his voice or see his smile for awhile but you will see him again in a joyous reunion. God Bless your gentle hearts till then.
