Andrew Thomas Bunch

Andrew Thomas Bunch, 42, passed away on February 2, 2023 as the result

of a fall at his home.

Andrew was born on January 21, 1981 at Missoula, the son of Bob and

Heather (Phoenix) Bunch. The family moved to Plains that year and Andrew

attended Plains schools from kindergarten through high school,

graduating in 1999. He was active in drama and JMG and was always happy

and well loved by his fellow students.

Andrew was employed at Coffelt-Bunch Funeral Service until 2002 when he

was injured in a single car rollover in which he suffered traumatic

brain injuries. After several years of rehabilitation, he was able to

live on his own and he moved to Thompson Falls where he lived until 2011

when he moved back to Plains to live with his family.

Andrew loved music and enjoyed performing karaoke at the local bars. He

especially loved the music of John Prine and Tom Waits as well as many

others.

Andrew will be missed by his family and by his many friends who meant so

much to him.

He is survived by his parents, both of Plains; two brothers, Martin

Alver and wife Robin of Louisville, KY and John Alver and wife Sarah and

their son, Gabriel Alver, all of Albuquerque, NM and many aunts, uncles

and cousins.

A special thank you to the Plains Ambulance and Clark Fork Valley

Emergency staff, especially Dr. Karen Thornton, for their help and care.

A memorial service will be held in the spring.

Sunset Hills Funeral Home in Plains is in charge of arrangements.
