Known for his fun-loving personality, Bunch enjoyed making others laugh and was rarely seen without a smile. He had a special gift for bringing joy to those around him and was always quick with a joke.
He enjoyed fishing, bartending, spending time with family and cheering on his beloved Kansas City Chiefs. Above all, he cherished the moments he shared with his loved ones.
Bunch was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar Bunch and Mary Washington Bunch; his wife, Senobia Bunch; and three sisters, Jerlean McFarland, Earline Bunch and Mary Joan Bunch Burks.

He is also survived by his brothers, William Bunch (Marie) of Detroit, Michigan, and Arvell Bunch (Janice); and his sisters, Loretta “Tina” Bunch, whom he affectionately considered his beloved buddy, and Hattie B. Hill, both of Vicksburg.
Other loved ones include his godchildren, Curtiss J. Winters and Makita Jones; his bonus daughter, Lenora Cooks; and his godbrother and best friend, Notton “June” Jones.
Bunch also leaves behind grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family members and many friends who will cherish his memory.
His legacy of laughter, warmth and love will continue to live on through those whose lives he touched.
