She added, “Rest easy & don’t make too many angels fall in love,” alongside photos of Bill playing guitar, sharing moments with a young Bunnie, and receiving cheek kisses from her and Jelly Roll.
Why Bunnie Wasn’t at Bill’s Deathbed
In an episode of her podcast, Dumb Blonde, Bunnie opened up about the final days of her father’s life and why she wasn’t there when he passed. She revealed that their relationship had hit a rocky patch after Bill confided in her about being mistreated by his wife.
“This entire situation of us not talking to each other was because he came to me and told me that his wife was abusing him,” Bunnie explained. “And I — rightfully so, as his daughter — stuck up for him, and he turned on me because of that.”
Bunnie also shared that she was unaware Bill had been readmitted to the hospital shortly before his death. She expressed anger and frustration toward his wife, Suzanne, whom she felt kept her from her father in his final moments.
“I texted her, and I was like, ‘How dare you take my dad from me, and not only that, but my dad’s so sick that the last conversation I’m gonna have with my dad is me being mad at him?’” Bunnie recalled. “We had words back and forth, and I was like, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women like you.’”
Although she arranged for a private jet to see her father, she was unable to reach him in time to say goodbye.
Reflecting on Thanksgiving
Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, Bunnie and Bill’s bond was undeniable. As the holidays approached, Bunnie reflected on her father’s absence, sharing a touching video from Thanksgiving the previous year—a celebration that held special meaning for Bill.
“Thanksgiving was always the time my dad would show up,” Bunnie wrote. “We could go the whole year without speaking, but no matter who he was with, he’d always pop up on Thanksgiving.”

She added, “In this video, I knew in my heart it would be our last one together. I just didn’t realize it would hurt like this today.”
Bunnie’s followers offered an outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. One fan wrote, “Sending you all the love. Bill is sitting on a different table this year, watching from above.”
It’s these moments of kindness that remind us of the strength and comfort found in the love of others, even amidst grief.
