Donald Hunt

Don was born in Rowland, North Carolina on October 14, 1943. He served his country well as a Vietnam veteran in the United States Air Force and then after 32 years of service retired from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. One of Don’s fondest pastimes is best characterized by his many years volunteering with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse where he served in several leadership positions including President. In addition, he was a founding member of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Enforcement Team. It was during these times when he combined his passions for horseback riding, the love of the great outdoors and making new friends wherever he went.

Don is survived by his three children Darren Hunt, Darryl Hunt and Debbie Hanneken, and his 8 grandchildren. We celebrate his wonderful life and faith in Jesus Christ now that he is home with the Lord.

A visiting memorial service will be held Sunday, June 9, 2019, from 2-4PM at the Blount & Curry Funeral Home, 3207 West Bearss Ave., Tampa, FL 33618.
