Terry Jack Hunt Obituary (1955

Terry Jack Hunt, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle to his family made his transition from mortality to immortality at 4:46pm [CDT] on Friday, April 7, 2017, held in the arms of his beloved wife and son. Terry faced the end of his mortal journey with a quiet courage and acceptance that was beautiful to behold and his courage a beautiful thing to experience by his family. Terry met and married Addielee Rose Dorris who was, and will always be, the love of his life. They had twenty four years of life together with a commitment to each other that few find in life. Everyone who knew them witnessed the depth of love, devotion and commitment between Terry and his Addielee. It permeated the air around and the space between them, and was quiet, peaceful, sweet and tangible. Their love epitomizes the statement "this is my other half ... whom without I am no longer complete." It's a love than transcends death and is eternal. After some difficult early adult years, he became completely self-reliant, believing in the ethic of hard work and the responsibility he had to support his wife and children. They knew he was in their corner and that they could count on him to be there and to tell them the truth of things. Terry was a voracious reader and student of history. He had an mind that absorbed history, especially the history of his beloved nation, the United States of America. He was an unabashed patriot, took great pride in his country and his responsibility of being a citizen. He was American through and through! Terry lived life as a man of conviction. He had a clear sense of what is right and what's not! He was never afraid to stand behind what he believed. He was outgoing, a "bigger than life" personality. When you first met him you sensed a gruff exterior and he could be reserved in the presence of those he didn't know. But once he got to know you and that you were the "genuine thing", his big heart opened up and he became your friend for life ... you belonged to him and he stood by you throughout the ups and downs of life. Stephen Covey, in his book "The 7 Habits of Effective People" wrote that all of us want to live, love and leave a legacy. Terry did that well. He will be missed by us all. There will be a Celebration of Life in his honor, which will be scheduled in the near future.
