In Loving Memory of Jimmy Ted Kunze

Devoted Husband, Father &Paw-Paw, Beloved Brother, Uncle & Friend

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jimmy Ted Kunze on March 17th, 2024, at the age of 68. Born on April 16th, 1955, in Waco, TX, to Adolph & Wanda Kunze, Jimmy leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering love that will forever be etched in our hearts.

Jimmy is survived by his loving wife, Dollie Kunze, and his wonderful, loving four children, Brandy, April, Jimmy Jr., & Kirstie, and his nineteen grandchildren, Marshall, Makayla, Max, Matthew, Jasmine, Bryanna, Valon, Xavier, Sofia, Alex, Ruby, Jimmy III, Chasidy, Braedon, Chloe, Ryleigh, Kailee, Zoe & Olivia. He is also survived by his four sisters, Shirley, Gloria, Brenda, & Wendy, and his two brothers, Kenneth & Dale.

Family was everything to Jimmy. He poured all his love into his children and grandkids. He told his crazy stories remembering the good ol' days. He had the biggest heart and he wore it on his sleeve. You could see all the love in his eyes when he was around his children and grandkids, they were his whole world. Jimmy was also a beloved brother who brought the family together and was their hero. Jimmy's affection extended to all his relatives, leaving each with fond memories and stories to tell.

Jimmy was always the life of the party. He had a knack for finding humor in every situation whether it be a prank, joke or witty-sarcastic remark to light up even the darkest days. Jimmy loved hanging out with friends and family, whether it be hanging at the house, fishing, playing pool or just having a few Budweisers with family and friends. His passion for old cars and Hot Rods was matched only by his love for cooking. He always said, ''if I want something good to eat, I have to cook it myself.'' He was infamous for cooking on the pit, his enchiladas and you can't forget the salsa too. Those are the things that made him smile.

Jimmy will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though he may no longer be with us, his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his memory be a blessing to us all.

Rest in peace, Jimmy, your legacy of love, laughter, and joy will forever endure in our hearts.
