| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Sunday, January 28, 2018 <<< After a very brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, Bob Hunter was peacefully called Home on Jan. 13, 2018 at his residence in Kalispell, Montana. By his side were his wife Cindy, daughter Stacey and cousin Bill McIllwain. Bob was born July 3, 1956 in Southern California. He graduated in 1974 from Edgewood High School in West Covina. With the help of both his grandfathers, he discovered what would end up being a lifelong love of boating and skiing. While in high school, Bob met Cindy and the two married April 2, 1977. They welcomed their daughter Stacey M. Hunter in September 1979 and their son Robert L. Hunter II in April 1983. Bob and Cindy raised their children in West Covina, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland, California. All their family vacations were spent on Lake Havasu. They moved to Havasu in July 1995, continuing to enjoy their time together with family and friends on Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave. Family was first and foremost with Bob and his children, their friends, and later his grandchildren. They truly were the light of his life. In 2011 Bob and Cindy wanted to try something new, so they relocated to Montana. They alternated their time between Kalispell and Havasu. Bob is deeply missed by his loving wife, Cindy Hunter, daughter Stacey Hunter, son Robert Hunter II, daughter-in-law Evelyn Hunter, his beautiful grandchildren Sayge, Skylee, Bob (Robert Lee Hunter III), and Valor plus Stacey’s twin baby girls who are due in May. All these children will remember their Papa and keep him in their hearts always. Bob is also survived by his parents, Phillip and Carole Hunter, sister Debbie (Roger) Edwards, sister-in-law Patricia (Bob) Hudnall, nephews, cousins and a multitude of close friends. A dear friend recently wrote, “Bob Hunter was a great example of what humans should aspire to be. He was loved by everyone who knew him and will be missed immensely. Bob is now able to finally put his feet up and rest. Rest in peace my friend!” |
