Kenneth J. Dunn

Kenneth Joseph Dunn, passed away at his home in Woodbridge, Virginia, on December 5th, 2022. He was 78 years old. Ken was born on September 5, 1944, to Kathleen and Joseph Dunn in Medford, Massachusetts. He spent his summers with his family at their beach house in Seabrook, NH. Ken graduated from Boston University and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant Engineer in the US Army Corps of Engineers. Ken served in Vietnam and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1989 after 22 years of service. His last assignment was in the Pentagon as the Military Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works. He had an MS in Civil Engineering from Wayne State University and an MS in Construction Management from The George Washington University. After retiring from the Army, Ken worked at Hill International for almost 33 years. Ken served as Vice President supporting Hill's Washington DC office. He provided executive leadership and construction contract management for key Hill clients including the US Department of State (DOS), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and General Services Administration (GSA). He continued to mentor and advise Hill’s DC office professionals and was a reliable colleague and good friend. When he wasn’t working, Ken could almost always be found on a cruise ship somewhere in the world with his family. His favorite companion was his daughter, Sheena. He loved sharing the photographs she took on their adventures as well as going to the theater with her. They had season tickets to the Washington Capitals for many years, but Ken was an avid Boston sports fan at heart. Ken was predeceased by his parents, Kathleen and Joseph Dunn, two brothers-in-law and a great nephew. He is survived by his daughter, Sheena Dunn of Alexandria, VA, his ex-wife Debbie Dunn of Alexandria and sisters Rosemary Piper of Amesbury, MA, Donna Fitzgerald of Port Saint Lucie, FL, and Kathleen (James) Harris of Tallahassee, FL, along with many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Ken's life will be held Saturday, December 17 at the Miller Funeral Home & Crematorium in Woodbridge, VA.
