In Remembrance of Garth Dunklin

We at Venn Law Group are saddened to announce that our partner, mentor, and friend, Garth Dunklin, passed away on January 14, 2021.

As many attorneys and clients in Charlotte and all over North Carolina can attest, Garth was a true “lawyer’s lawyer.” He relished in the practice of law, teaching legal and real estate concepts, and just being a lawyer serving the community.

Garth’s accolades after over 30 years of practice are simply too many to mention in full, but we particularly want to note that over the years he served on the Boards of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®, the North Carolina CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) and the Charlotte Region Commercial Board of REALTORS® (“CRCBR”). Garth taught classes for CRCBR, among other groups, for over 23 years, and wrote many instructional texts and forms. He was also an adjunct professor for the UNC-Charlotte Belk College of Business, and a Board Member and former Chair of the North Carolina Rules Review Commission.

Garth was a consummate legal professional, and always endeavored to provide quality service and counsel to his clients and colleagues. He will be missed greatly by everyone at the firm and the Charlotte real estate community. Having practiced with Garth and knowing him for close to 20 years, we, in particular, will miss his boisterous laugh and patience as a mentor. We will also fondly remember the first few days of this firm spent at its “World Headquarters”… which was his kitchen table.

We want to publicly thank Garth’s wife, Helen, and his children, Macy and Garth, Jr., for sharing him with us and to assure them that there is a large community of people that will miss Garth with them.

Garth’s family has asked that in lieu of flowers, those that would like may make contributions in Garth’s honor to the American Cancer Society.

There will be an in-person service to honor Garth on Saturday, January 23, 2020, at 11:00 am, at Heritage Funeral Home located at 3700 Forest Lawn Dr, Matthews, NC 28104. Masks will be required. The service will also be live-streamed as well for those that are not able to attend in person. Below is a link to Garth’s obituary, details about the service, and how to give flowers or donations in his name.
