Thomas Bunevich Obituary
Thomas Kevin Bunevich, 67, of Tampa, Fla., passed away Monday, June 8, 2020.
Thomas was born March 1, 1953, in Canonsburg, the third child of Stanley and Margaret Bunevich, both deceased.
Thomas lived in Eastern Pennsylvania and in West Virginia, until moving to Florida in 1981. He received his undergraduate degree from Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va., and two master's degrees from St. Thomas University and the University of South Florida.
Thomas ran a successful sports collectibles business in Tampa for many years. After selling the collectible business, he was an event coordinator for the Tampa Tribune, a teacher with Hillsborough County Schools and a tax preparer for H&R Block. He was also the author of three books, including "Sign This."
Thomas is survived by his wife of 43 years, Sue of Tampa; two sons, Matthew (Megan) of Orlando, Fla., and Andrew (Courtney) of Gainesville, Fla.; as well as his first grandson, Rhett Jameson Bunevich. He has two surviving siblings, his brother, James Cannon (Christine) of Buford, Ga., and his sister, Donna Chase (Rick) of Apopka, Fla.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a sibling, Stanley Jr., in 2010.
Thomas was passionate about all Pittsburgh sports teams, most notably the Steelers.
A celebration of life service will be announced at a later date.
The family suggests any memorial contributions be made to a local charity of the donor's choice.

Tom was a fun brother growing up. Always active and caring for others. Inclusive no matter who you were from ball games to board games, and touched many lives. Always a prankster. So many wonderful memories of him. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and memories. He truly will be missed.

I was Tom's physician years ago, and used to enjoy his visits when we schmoozed about collecting stuff. My condolences to the family.

To the Bunevich family,
Sorry for your loss. We grew up four houses from your family and I graduated with him. Tommy was always playing wiffle ball and taught me the game. Used to love the pond in your backyard. Great times and neighbors. You have my sincere condolences. I will keep Tommy in my prayers.

To Donna....
So sorry to hear about Tommy. Water gun fights (he would soak me). Wiffle ball games in your back yard. The night he chased me and the Caldwells and made us clean up the corn we threw on your porch at Halloween. It was all great fun - great memories. You have my prayers and sincere condolences.
