Quotes from the Bunker Family
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones in this tragic accident. Steve was a loving, devoted husband and father, and we will miss him more than words can say. Being a pilot for the Maryland State Police fulfilled a life long dream for Steve. He loved helping people and he loved aviation. Being a pilot for the Maryland State Police enabled him to do both. Over his career in aviation, Steve and his colleagues saved countless lives. He was a hero to his family and all who knew him. He died doing what he loved to do. My husband was a rock within our family for 23 years. He has been, and will forever be, the love of my life.” Sherry Bunker (wife)
“My father has always been a role model in my life. He taught me to be honest, work hard, and keep life in proper perspective. He is truly my hero.” Stacie Bunker (daughter)
“I couldn’t imagine having a better father. I’m really going to miss him.” Shelby Bunker (daughter)
“He was a great Dad. I’m proud to have had a father who risked his life daily to save others. He is my hero.” Scott Bunker (son)
NOTE: The Bunker family does not wish to conduct any media interviews and asks for understanding of their wish as they grieve. Please direct any questions to the Maryland State Police Office of Media Communications. Recent photos of Pilot Steve Bunker are available by contacting media@mdsp.org.
