Glenn Bunch
May 7, 2026
In loving memory, we announce the peaceful passing of Glenn Bunch, a cherished father, grandfather, brother and friend.
Glenn was born on July 29, 1947, in the humble town of Devonia, Tennessee, where he first graced the world with his gentle spirit and warm heart. On May 7, 2026, Glenn departed to join his Savior, leaving behind a legacy filled with love, faith and dedication.
Glenn was born to his beloved parents, Lola and Buddy Bunch, who instilled in him the values of hard work and devotion. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughters Jennifer Bunch and Anita L. Knight; sons-in-law Jimmy Smith and Gregory (John) Knight; siblings Charlene Seiber and infant twin Wanda; brothers David “New River” Bunch and Earl Bunch; sister Becky Bunch; nephews Keith, Brian and Danny; nieces Charlotte Turner and Kathy Smith; and sister-in-law Kitty Bridges.
A loving father and grandfather, Glenn is survived by his children, Ettie Jeanette Smith, Glenna Danielle Bunch, Amanda McGill (Daniel) and Craig Bunch (Daryll), who were his pride and joy. His legacy continues through his ten grandchildren: Kayle Starnes (Jesse), James Michael Earl Smith (Kelli), Uriah Faith Smith, Judah Joseph Lee Hayes (Vaeh), Tyler Knight (Brittany), Abigail Bowling, Ashlyn Bowling (Jace), Brandon Bowling, Julie McGill and Zoee McGill.
Glenn’s heart was further filled with love for his nine great-grandchildren: Dominic, Rosetta, Olivia Starnes, Eli and Ryleigh Cox, Noel Hayes, Makinzlee, Rayna and Joselee Knight; and his step-grandson, Kane.
Glenn was a brother to Pauline Greene (Manson), Ted Bunch (Teresa), Thomas Bunch (Kathy), Clarence Bunch (Mary), Edd Bunch (Angie), Lindon Bunch and brother-in-law to Robert Seiber, who now cherish the memories of their shared laughter and camaraderie.
Educated at Rosedale Elementary and later graduating from Lake City High School, Glenn dedicated his life to the coal mines, an emblem of his unwavering work ethic and perseverance. His career was marked by a steadfast commitment to providing for his family, a testament to the love he held for them.
Glenn found solace and strength in his faith, being of the Baptist faith, and was known for his fervent devotion to praising his Savior, Jesus Christ. His joyful spirit was often seen in his love for shouting and singing hymns, a reflection of his deep and abiding faith.
Outside of work and worship, Glenn found joy in simple pleasures. He loved gardening, finding peace and purpose in nurturing life from the soil. Flea markets were another delight with his special friend Stick Braden, where he spent many happy hours with his buddies searching for treasures and sharing stories.
Glenn’s kindness extended to all creatures, evidenced by his great love for his two little dogs, Lucy and Lola. Lucy, his constant companion, passed away just a day before Glenn, a poignant reminder of their inseparable bond.
Though his marriage to Pamela Boley ended in 1992, together they raised four wonderful children, a shared testament to the love and life they built together.
As we remember Glenn, we celebrate a life filled with love, faith and resilience. His laughter, wisdom and unwavering love will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew him. He has left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to know him, and his spirit will continue to guide and inspire his family and friends.
A service to honor Glenn’s life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to celebrate his journey and the legacy he leaves behind. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to all.
