Joe Hunt Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Joe was not only a father but also a loving grandfather whose joy resonated in the achievements and happiness of his family. His unwavering dedication to their well-being was evident in all aspects of his life, shaping a legacy of love and support that will endure through generations.
Early on in Joe's life he worked as the Sanitation Supervisor in Duncanville. Joe later made lasting contributions to the community as the owner and operator of Hunt Roofing and Home Repair. His craftsmanship and approachability fostered strong relationships with clients, reflecting his commitment to excellence and service. Additionally, Joe served as the former pastor of the Bailey Bible Baptist Church, where he offered spiritual guidance and support to many, touching countless lives with his compassionate nature. Joe was often seen with a smile on his face, invariably accompanied by his Beech-Nut chewing tobacco, a simple pleasure that defined his down-to-earth character.
Joe is preceded in death by his parents, beloved wife Betty, son Joe Hunt, granddaughter Betty Sue Hunt, and 11 brothers and sisters.
He is survived by his sons; David Hunt of Bailey, James Hunt of Grand Prairie, Terry Hunt of El Reno, and Thomas Hunt of Wolfe City, 16 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren. Joe will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
