Cecil Wendell Bunch Sr., age 75, passed away on Thursday, January 29, 2015, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Savannah.
The native of Bulloch County graduated from Marvin Pittman High School in 1957. He joined the U.S. Navy and served 20 years, retiring in 1976 at the rank of chief petty officer. Mr. Bunch then joined the Public Safety Department at Georgia Southern College (now University) in 1980 and retired as a sergeant after 20 years of service. Mr. Bunch was an active member of Elmer Baptist Church, where he joined and was baptized at a young age. He enjoyed fishing, boating, reading and crossword puzzle books. He loved Georgia Southern football games and tailgating with his friends. But most of all, he enjoyed hosting cookouts at his Barbeque Barn for his family and friends. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Mr. Bunch was predeceased by his wife of 47 years, Mary Rosier Bunch; his mother and father, Cecil Edgar and Anita Hart Bunch; his brother, Clayborne E. Bunch; a brother-in-law, Ralph Bacon; and two nieces, Susan Bacon MacLachlan and Renee Roberts Hopkins.

He is also survived by two granddaughters, Meghan Bunch (Jonathan) Roy and Kelly Bunch (Barrett) Gates, all of Jacksonville, Fla. He has two great-grandchildren, Reese and Mitchell Roy of Jacksonville. He is also survived by two sisters, Merle B. Hogan and Faye B. Bacon, both of Statesboro; and a sister-in-law, Janet B. Bunch of Canton, Ga.
Other survivors include three nephews, five nieces, three great-nephews; five great-nieces and several cousins, three step-granddaughters and five step great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be on Sunday, February 1, 2015, from 4–6 p.m. at Hodges-Moore Funeral Home.
The funeral service will be held on February 2, 2015, at 11 a.m. at Elmer Baptist Church in Statesboro with the Rev. Art Tarver officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
