October 3, 1951 –January 6, 2023
With his family around him; Roderick Peter Bunn Jr., passed peacefully into the arms of Creator. After battling with the final stages of COPD Dad left quietly to be with his son Rory Steffan, his mother and father, Marie Madeline and Rod Bunn Sr., he was also greeted by his brothers, Lee, Nelson, Clarence, Roland and sister Zelma.
Dad lived a full and adventurous life; as lead singer of the group Red Cloud, as a successful Pulp and Truck hauler, as an active assistant hockey coach, avid golfer, well-seasoned traveller, baseball and recreational hockey player. Dad loved to cut grass, shovel the road and clear the water from the puddles. Dad always walked or rode his bike - he kept himself active and he battled and survived Cancer. He truly lived a life full of love, laughter and humbleness.
He leaves to mourn Cynthia - the love of his life, his son Ruben, adopted son Sonny Bercier (Lorissa), daughters, April Courchene, Anissa and Stacy, adopted daughter Sharon Bruyere, baby boy Sean (Sybil), his 16 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Dad had numerous friends and family who were very dear to him and we acknowledge every single member of his circle of friends and family.

Cynthia, I am truly sorry to hear of Rod’s passing. He was a gentle, loveable & loving soul. I imagine he and Percy will enjoy their reunion. On the one hand, we are so grateful they are no longer suffering; while on the other, our hearts long to be with them. I thank God for your faith, your family, and your community to help you the, although in the end your grief is yours alone. Please remember my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time and on into the future. Much love…Caroline - Posted by: Caroline Stevenson (Friend ) on: Jan 10, 2023
