It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Firefighter Thomas Dunn of Engine 234, who died on February 1, 2025, in Florida.
Born on December 9, 1972, Thomas courageously served with the FDNY, demonstrating unwavering dedication and heroism during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Thomas survived both tower collapses on that fateful day and spent months at Ground Zero, tirelessly searching through the rubble for victims.
The aftermath of his selfless service left lasting scars, as he battled years of chronic asthma, severe respiratory issues, and recurring health complications attributed to prolonged exposure to toxic fumes and debris from the smoldering pile.
Despite his valiant spirit, Thomas faced immense personal struggles related to his 9/11-related illnesses.
On February 1, 2025, he tragically took his own life. His passing is a stark reminder of the enduring sacrifices made by first responders long after the sirens have faded.
His uncle shared with Channel 2 News, “Thomas was a true hero who carried the weight of 9/11 every day. His bravery saved lives, but the invisible wounds took their toll. We will never forget.”
The Dunn family has requested a private service to honor Thomas’s memory. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Rest in peace, Firefighter Thomas Dunn—brave guardian, beloved friend, and cherished member of St. John’s East E234/L123/Batt38.
Never Forget.
