Mike "Radar" Dunn, a photographer who contributed to Concord Patch as well as other local news outlets, passed away on Dec. 26 after a battle with stage four liver cancer.

Dunn's illness brought the backing of the community when it was announced on Claycord back in May that he had lost his job and health insurance. A donation fund was set up, and more than $13,000 was raised for Dunn's treatment. Donors included the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, the Concord Police Association and a number of local businesses.

Dunn passed away the day after Christmas, according to Claycord.
