|
||
| WHEREAS, Memories of a life well lived may help to comfort | ||
| those saddened by the passing of Glen Dale Hunt on April 20, 2023, | ||
| at the age of 75; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A native of Lubbock, Glen Hunt was born on July 12, | ||
| 1947, to George Wilbur and Dorothy Nixon Hunt; as a youth, he | ||
| participated in activities at Asbury United Methodist Church | ||
| Lubbock, and he earned the rank of Eagle Scout and the God and | ||
| Country Award during his years in the Boy Scouts; following his | ||
| graduation from Monterey High School in 1965, he obtained a degree | ||
| in government and completed further graduate work at Texas Tech | ||
| University; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After being hired by the Idalou Independent School | ||
| District, Mr. Hunt worked for 13 years as a teacher, K-12 | ||
| counselor, and curriculum director; his desire to play an active | ||
| role in the community led him to successfully run for a seat on the | ||
| Idalou City Council and then to serve two terms as the city's mayor; | ||
| from 1979 to 1985, he worked as an administrative assistant to | ||
| Congressman Kent Hance, and then became executive assistant to | ||
| Mr. Hance at the Railroad Commission of Texas; he went on to join | ||
| the office of state comptroller John Sharp, to serve as the first | ||
| director of operations for the Texas Lottery, and to work as a clerk | ||
| with the Redistricting Committee of the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Hunt continued his career in education as an | ||
| adjunct government professor at Austin Community College, where his | ||
| nearly three decades of service also included a tenure as chair of | ||
| the Government Department; teaching the subject was his greatest | ||
| joy in life, and he relished having the opportunity to impart to his | ||
| students the importance of being an informed participant in the | ||
| democratic process; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Outside of his professional life, Mr. Hunt took | ||
| pleasure in taking trips to locations around the globe; since 2002, | ||
| he had been an active member of the upRising congregation in Austin, | ||
| and he was involved in neighborhood activities in the Ashton Woods | ||
| subdivision; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Glen Hunt is deeply missed, he will forever | ||
| be remembered with admiration and affection by his loved ones and by | ||
| the countless other individuals whose lives he touched; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Glen Dale Hunt and | ||
| extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to his | ||
| sisters, Sue Hunt and Ann McAdams and her husband, Kenneth; to his | ||
| nephews, Andrew Will McAdams and his wife, Sarah, and their | ||
| children, Connor, Kylie, Jackson, Blake, and Avery, and Brant Ware | ||
| McAdams and his wife, Alison, and their children, Payton Hunt and | ||
| Adelyn Sue; and to his other relatives and numerous friends; and, be | ||
