Irvin Brunkenhoefer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 15, 2024.

Irvin Allen "Brunk" Brunkenhoefer, 89, of Gainsville, Virginia, passed away on May 11, 2024. Born in Cisco, Texas on May 6, 1935, he was a proud Texan at heart.

Irvin, known to his loved ones as "Brunk," led a fulfilling life filled with joy and laughter. He was described as happy, carefree, a jokester, loving, and always proud of his Texan roots.

In his career, Irvin worked for esteemed publications such as The Houston Post, The Washington Post, Army/Navy Times, and The Fairfax Journal. He also dedicated his time as a real estate agent, helping others find their dream homes.

Outside of work, Irvin had a passion for capturing moments through photography, tending to his yard with care, and watching football games with enthusiasm.

Irvin will be deeply missed by his son, Jason, his daughter in law Vera, daughter Luann, sister Ann Bolden, grandchildren Lily, Brett, Jamie, Dana, great-grandchild Kylie, and his friend of over 60 years, Rob Roark. He is preceded in death by his first wife and mother of his children, Danna Lou, the love of his life, wife Debbie Sue, son Rob Allen, and his mother Doris 'Bobo'.

Irvin's love for life and his dedication to his family and friends will forever be cherished in their hearts. May he rest in peace.

Brunk and I worked together at Contel Communications in Manassas, Virginia back in the early 80s. As a two-person telecommunications team, we called on businesses in the area who needed new phone systems or were having trouble with their current system. We never had a dull moment as Brunk was so funny and he made friends with everyone we met. He had so many corny jokes and was always making me laugh. We had so much fun working together. His lovely Sue worked at Contel too and it was obvious to everyone how much they liked each other. He was always making her giggle and blush. Brunk just made everyone smile. I didn´t know he passed away and I regret I didn´t see him one more time before he passed away. I loved Brunk dearly. May he rest in peace.
