Pfc. Nunn served with 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
Pfc. Nunn joined the Army in June 2010. His awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon.
He leaves his parents, Ted A. Nunn and Christina Bennefield, brother Matthew and sister Savanna.
As a former soldier, I recognize the pain of losing a brother in arms. I sincerely pray that God will comfort this family in this, the most horrible of times. No words are adequate to describe the tragedy of burying a son. Nothing will ever replace the life taken so young. Next month my son goes for his 6th deployment. I hope I never feel your intense loss. May God bless all our soldiers, and may God bless America. I promise you that this small town will mourn this loss of a member of our family.
