Victor Horace Hunt

Victor Horace Hunt, age 76, of Beaumont, Alberta, died Saturday evening, February 8, 2014 at the Leduc Community Hospital surrounded by his family. Born July 23, 1937, in Lanigan, Saskatchewan, he was the son of the late John (Jack) Hunt and Mary (nee Burnett) Hunt. At the age of 19, Victor left the Lanigan-area and joined the Canadian Army where he served for a 3-year period as an Airborne-member of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Following his tour, he met his wife, Beverley, and relocated to an acreage near Yorkton, Saskatchewan where he spent the next 25 years working the land and raising his family – things that were dearest to his heart. In the late 1990’s he and Beverley relocated to Edmonton, Alberta where he worked as a Commissionaire with the Canadian Corp of Commissionaires until he retired to Beaumont, Alberta. He was a life-long fan of both the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he enjoyed growing vegetables and being outdoors. These pleasures were only exceeded by spending time with his family and grandchildren. He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Beverley Jean; along with five children; Dennis and Rhonda Hunt of Saltcoats, Saskatchewan, Edward and Ruth Hunt of St. Albert, Alberta, Joyce and Allan Clements of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Kathy and Kurt Homrighausen of Spanaway, Washington and Laura and Brian Bjerke of Beaumont, Alberta; 11 grandchildren, Drew Hunt, Jenna Hunt, Connor Hunt, Sara Hunt, Lauren Hunt, Dana Hunt, Justin Britt, Brendan Clements, Morgan LeBlanc, Keri Bjerke, and Nicole Bjerke; two siblings, Alice Steranka of Toronto, Ontario and Evelyn Martin of Lethbridge, Alberta and many other loving nieces, nephews and relatives. Memorial services for Victor Hunt will be held at 1:00 pm Friday, February 21, 2014 at the Serenity Funeral Service Chapel, 4702-51 Avenue, Leduc, Alberta. Burial will follow in the Field of Honour, Leduc Cemetery (West). Serving as honourary pallbearers are Victor’s grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the Alberta Cancer Foundation 710-10123 99 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 3H1.
