        HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF INVESTIGATOR RYAN BUNCE

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 14, 2026

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the Bunce family, 
the Tioga County Sheriff's Office, and the greater community in 
honoring the life and service of Investigator Ryan Bunce, who 
unexpectedly passed away on the morning of Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
  Investigator Bunce began his distinguished career with the Sheriff's 
Office on December 14, 2014, serving first as a Deputy Sheriff before 
earning his promotion to Investigator on November 11, 2021. Throughout 
his tenure, Ryan was the recipient of numerous awards, a testament to 
his professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the 
people he served.
  Ryan was a steady and calming presence in even the most difficult 
moments. As a devoted husband and father, he leaves behind his wife, 
Cassidy, and their two young children, Everleigh and Colter. He was 
deeply respected and loved by his family, friends, and colleagues, and 
his loss leaves a void that cannot be filled. His impact on his 
department and his community will not be forgotten.
  It is with a heavy heart that I ask my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives to join me in honoring the life, 
legacy, and service of Investigator Ryan Bunce, and to extend our 
deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and all those who had 
the privilege of serving alongside him.
