Clint Andrew Dunn, 47, passed away on 18 February 2026 after a courageous battle with Leukemia. He is survived by his beloved wife Kara Dunn, mother Juliette Dunn, daughters Tahlia Mae and Isabella Rose Dunn, stepsons Collin and Kyle Dunn-Hathaway, and granddaughter Evangaline Larrison-Hathaway.

Clint was born in Toowoomba, Queensland Australia, and was raised on a Dairy Farm in Victoria. In his youth, he loved to play sports which include cricket, tennis, golf, and rugby.

Clint served as an infantry soldier in the Australian Army for 20 years in a frontline combat unit. He served in 8/7 Battalion Royal Victorian Regiment, 5/7 Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, 6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, 2/17 Battalion Royal New South Wales Regiment, School of Infantry, 2nd Commando Regiment and the Special Forces Training Centre. His operation service includes several deployments to East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Clint immigrated to the United States after doing volunteer work for Veterans on Patrol, Arizona Border Recon, and meeting Kara, his wife, who share the same surname. He developed a passion for irrigation and took extensive classes to become an Irrigation Professional. Clint started Rain Link Irrigation in 2019 as a one-man band. He has since grown the business into a dedicated crew of seven full-time employees. He became a Rain Bird select contractor, one of only three in the state of Arizona.

Clint loved fishing, gun collecting/shooting, camping, listening to the Australian John Laws radio show, watching the cricket and Aussie Rules Footy. He loved history, and admired Winston Churchill and George Washington.

Clint was a military grunt, a determined warrior who met life head-on. He was a little battle-hardened and, on the exterior, could be rough and tough, the kind that would stand up to the enemy without hesitation. But beneath that surface was a heart of gold.

That heart touched the lives of so many people. He was a solid son in-law, bother in-law, mate to his Rain Link Irrigation family and customers, mate to many other Americans and Australians, and a comrade to his military family in Australia.

Those who truly knew Clint understood that his strength was never just physical. It was moral. It was loyal. It was selfless. Clint loved deeply. He embodied brotherhood in its purest form. He was the man who would shoulder the heaviest load without complaint.

Even during his illness, Clint faced his fight the way he faced everything else: head down, determined, unwilling to quit. He endured more than most ever will, and he did it with the same quiet grit that defined his service.

Clint’s legacy is not only in the battles he fought, but in the lives he strengthened. He was proof that the toughest warriors often carry the gentlest hearts.

“The Legend” will never be forgotten.
