George "Mark" Dunlap was born on June 22, 1964 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was the son of George and Rosemary Dunlap and the nephew of Jim Dunlap He is survived by his sons mother, Janine Dunlap and his two sons, Brett (17) and Jack (14) of Cumming, Georgia. Stepmother Carol Dunlap of Kansas City, Sister and brother in law, Vera and Bob Richards of  Charlotte NC, Nieces Alecia Hogan, Jennifer Dunlap, Erin Meyer, Shannon Wardwell and nephews Paul Richards and Meleech Parker. Preceded in death by George and Rosemary Dunlap, parents; James Dunlap, uncle; Dennis and Cyndee, brother and sister in law; Andrea Richards, niece. Mark grew up in Kansas City, MO and went to North Kansas City High School, where he was a member of the Golf team. He attended University of Missouri at Kansas City. He was employed by Carolina Trim Specialties. Mark was fortunate to find two passions in his life-Golf in his early adult life and Scouting in his family years. Mark was a PGA professional at Smithville and Kearney Country Club and Deer Lake Country Club. He always had fond memories of playing golf with his Dad as a child, and playing with his friends throughout his life. When his oldest son, Brett was in first grade Mark became a Cub Scout leader for his den for Pack 200. The scouting world was something that Mark quickly became to love. Activities such a the Soapbox Derby, camping, hiking, Pinewood Derby and many other numerous activities. When his younger son, Jack got to first grade he immediately knew he wanted to lead his Den as well. Mark was extremely proud of his two dens, Fighting Eagles and  Task Force, many of the boys going on to be Eagle Scouts or on their way currently to becoming Eagle Scouts. In the 2015-2016 Scouting year Mark helped found Pack 19 with the help of some amazingly talented Dads. With his love of special numbers he chose the Bible Verse Joshua 1:9 "Be Strong and Courageous" as what Pack 19 would stand for and embody. Pack 19 became and is still one of the biggest and most successful Cub Scout packs in the Northeast Georgia Council. After aging out of Pack 19 he then went on to be a Merit Badge Counselor with Troop 205 and then later with Troop 69.
