JOHN BUNGARD SR.

He was born November 7, 1950, the son of Floyd and Margaret (Crow) Bungard. John was a Christian, devoted husband, Dad, brother, pap, and a great-grandpap. John was a 1970 graduate of John Marshall High School and he was the Owner and Operator of Bungard’s Auto Parts with over 26 years of dedication and service to his community. He provided employment for many people over the years, most of all his business was a special place for his son John, his nephews Chuck and Smiley, and son-in-law Doug. John was a member of the Oak Grove United Methodist Church on Fork Ridge and he loved his church family. He also enjoyed wheelin’ and dealin’, farming (special thanks to his son in laws and son, Lucas Christopher, Doug Hudson, and John Bungard Jr., for keeping his farming dream alive), demolition derbies, and had a love for antique cars, riding in parades, and would offer the shirt off his back for anyone who needed it. He was a man who stood on integrity. His handshake was his word.

John is preceded in death by his parents and son Andrew Bungard Sr.
