Alex Bunch Obituary
June 24, 1992 - February 28, 2018
Alex (Ally Bear), 25, was taken from us in a car accident on February 28th. He was charismatic, loving and had a personality that was hard to overlook. His life was FAR TOO SHORT, but very eventful. As a child, he had an infectious laugh and spent many hours entertaining all who knew him. Although he strived to underachieve, he possessed unmatched intelligence and could do anything he set his sights on. He started BMX racing at 3 1/2 years (no training wheels!), and later continued racing in outlaw karts. Ally wasn't too serious about winning, but very serious about enjoying time with his pals! His outdoor sporting continued with his family as he took up, and became serious about, back country snowmobiling. He was an inspiration to those he rode with, using his slight frame to manipulate the sled at will, and got to ride with pros who invented modern-day sledding in Idaho and Colorado. He loved his time in the shop, repairing the damage when he was pushing the boundaries, and hanging out with "The Cubs" who rode with him.
His Dad's job allowed Alex to travel with his family throughout Europe and Asia in 9 countries outside the U.S. He spent an extended amount of time in Italy, including snowboarding in the Italian Alps for Christmas and spending New Years' Eve in Rome... all in the same year! The following spring he spent spring break in Germany and snowboarded in Innsbruck, Austria for Easter. Alex and his brother were extremely close at this time and easily made friends in Italy, even though neither spoke Italian.
Ally had a very close bond with many of his cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. He is survived by his mother, Tami Englert; father, Rick Bunch; brother, Adam Bunch; maternal grandmother, Pat Rowland; paternal grandfather, Elbert Bunch, and many other close family members. He left us far too soon and will forever be love and missed. Our lives will never be the same without our Bear!
A Celebration of Life will be held on March 31st at BoEx, 4846 Emerald, Boise, at 4:00 pm. Please bring fond memories to share.
