Richard Fleming Bunting

Richard Fleming Bunting, 75, passed away on July 10, 2024, in Sugar Land, Tx. Born in Houston, Texas on October 31, 1948 to his parents, Ethel Fleming Bunting and Geroge Thomas Bunting who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by his sister, Judy Bunting Goodson. Richard is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 46 years, Lenellen, whom he married on September 2, 1978. He is also survived by his children, Clayton Bunting and wife Merideth, Travis Bunting, and Laura Bunting Minks; six grandchildren, Hayden Minks, Trace Minks, Grady Bunting, Carly Bunting, Luke Shockley, and Louis Caniff, three bonus grandsons, Jayson, Justin and Ryan Savoie; a brother, Mike Bunting (Carol), sister Nan Middlebrooks (Joe); and several nieces and nephews. Richard was raised on the family farm in Clodine, Texas and graduated from John Foster Dulles High School in Sugar Land in 1967. He also attained a B.B.A. from Sam Houston State University. He dedicated 34 years of his career to Schlumberger Well Service, retiring in 2004. Richard was a member of the Lutheran faith. Richard was a true original, known for his candid and humorous nature (Richardisms) and bless his heart, was born without a filter. When called out on it, he would always reply, “Well, it’s the truth”. An avid hunter, Richard cherished the times spent hunting on the family farm in Phelps, Texas with his best buds, Hector, Karl, Robert and Edgar. His love for the outdoors was only surpassed by his love for his family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, honoring Richard’s courageous 22 year journey with the disease. His family would like to thank his primary care physician of over 30 years, Dr. Fahim Farhat and his hematologist, Dr. Tejash Patel for all their wonderful care. Pallbearers: Hayden Minks, Trace Minks, Andrew Bunting, Henry Bunting, Richard Goodson, Mitch Alison, Craig Faltysek and Jason Caniff.
