Patrick loved his family, especially his children.

He enjoyed guitars, fishing, the outdoors, and slot car racing.
Remaining to cherish his memory are his mother, Shirley (Roberts) Burnham; companion of 23 years, Sarah Mullins; children, Patrick Marunde Jr., Ryan Rutter, Nathan Marunde, Nicholas Marunde, and Abbigail Marunde; grandchildren, Kiarra and Jacob; brother, Michael Marunde; and brother-in-law, Wayne Smith.
He was preceded in death by his father, Albert Marunde, and sister, Bonnie Smith.
His family will receive friends Friday, August 7, 2026 beginning at 11:00 a.m. at Hohner Funeral Home, 1004 Arnold St., Three Rivers. A funeral service will follow at noon at the funeral home with Bob Fenwick officiating. He will be laid to rest in Moorepark Cemetery.
