Frederick C. Bunk

Frederick Christian Bunk, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law,

uncle, and friend, passed away on August 25, 2025, in Morristown, NJ, surrounded by

his loving family. He was born on May 24, 1955, in Newark, NJ, to Harry and Genevieve

Bunk.

Fred grew up in Bloomfield, NJ and attended Bloomfield High School and continued his

education at R.E.T.S Electronic School.

Fred lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, an unwavering work ethic, and a quiet

strength. He was a gentle soul who always offered a helping hand – whether to family,

friends, or neighbors – never expecting anything in return.

On October 12, 1985, Fred married his dear wife, Dawn. Together, they created a home

filled with love, laughter and cherished memories and traditions along with their two

daughters Kimberly and Kristen. Some of the happiest of those were family vacations

on Long Beach Island, where Fred enjoyed the ocean, long days in the sun, and

evenings playing miniature golf with his family. Most of all, Fred treasured time with his

two grandchildren, Kove and Reese, bringing play time and laughter into every visit.

Fred found joy in the simple pleasures of life including cooking, music, and the

outdoors. He was an avid pickleball player who loved both the sport and the friendships

it brought. He found peace on the water in his canoe or kayak with a fishing pole in

hand. He also had a passion for craft brewing, often experimenting with new recipes

and proudly sharing a cold pint with those lucky enough to taste his creations.

More than his hobbies, it was his love and care for people that defined him. He will be

remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle,

and friend, whose kindness and warmth made everyone feel welcome.

Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Genevieve Bunk, brother James

Bunk, mother-in-law Janet Ceriani, brothers-in-law Nicholas Sauter and Richard Tissot,

and niece Sara Gene Quinn.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Dawn Bunk (Tissot), his daughters Kimberly (Rich)

Donadio, Kristen Bunk, grandchildren Kove and Reese Donadio, sister Kathleen (Ron)

Rowe, brothers Brian (Toni Lyn) Bunk, Peter (Kelly) Bunk, sisters-in-law Donna Bunk,

Donna Tissot, Deborah Sauter, cherished family friend Michele Cappetta, and many

loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and close friends.
