Regis Doughlas Kunz

Regis Douglas Kunz, of Nicolaus, CA, 81, passed away of pancreatic cancer on August 7, 2024, in Roseville, CA, surrounded by his close-knit family. 

Born on July 13, 1943, in Pittsburgh, PA, he proudly served in the U.S. Air Force before graduating from CSUS in economics and dedicating over 30 years to farming and working for the State of California. 

Regis was deeply cherished by his family and is survived by his loving wife, of 56 years, Marilyn; children, Lisa Kunz of Sacramento, CA, Brian Kunz, and Allison Kunz; and granddaughters, Paige Hanson and Claire Kunz, all of Yuba City, CA. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Theresa Kunz of Turtle Creek, PA and his brother Richard Kunz of Harrisonburg, VA.

Known for his love of family, farming, golfing, hunting, and watching Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates games, Regis's presence was a comforting constant in the lives of those around him. He treasured his daily walks with his dog, Buddy, frequent drives around the countryside, and Sunday dinners with his family.
