William Everett Bunch, Jr., was born on March 7, 1967, at St. Vincent Hospital in Monett, Missouri and left this earth peacefully with the Lord on the morning of June 5, 2023, in Joplin, Missouri. 

            William lived life to the fullest and loved unconditionally. He provided love and support to his family, friends and total strangers.

            He is preceded in death by his loving mother, Fleta Mae Seely; precious sister, Pamela Lawrence and brothers-in-law, Steven Kloss and Melvin Howerton. 

            Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 14:27
