Dennis was born on August 14, 1964, in Storm Lake, Iowa to parents, Lester and Donna Bunda. He attended Pocahontas Catholic School and graduated from Pocahontas Community High School. Dennis also graduated from Buena Vista College and studied at the University of South Dakota.

Dennis lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Memphis, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas, and worked in finance.

Dennis is survived by his wife of 28 years, Lisa (Shull) Bunda, and their children, Hailey Stuetelberg (Kyle) of Dallas, Texas, and Will Bunda of Little Rock, Arkansas. Other survivors include his parents; in-laws, Vivian Hathaway of Warsaw, Indiana, and Charles and Cathy Shull of Atlanta, Georgia; siblings, Denise Kakacek (Al) of Pocahontas, Iowa, Kathy Stover (Bruce) of Humboldt, Iowa, and Steve Bunda (Pam) of Omaha, Nebraska. Dennis' nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends will all miss his larger-than-life personality.

Dennis was preceded in death by grandparents, Eldor and Alvina Peterson, and William and Laura Bunda, all of Pocahontas, Iowa.

Dennis loved his family, politics, Labradors, and baseball. Dennis was a high school and college athlete and was the first one to score a home run at the new Pocahontas High School baseball field. He enjoyed coaching and watching his children play sports and other activities. He was a long-time member of Christ the King Catholic Church and drew great strength from his faith.
