of West Memphis, AR

May 13, 1947 - May 3, 2024

With great sadness, Robert Hunt, of West Memphis, AR passed away peacefully on the evening of Friday, May 3rd, 2024 surrounded by family and friends who loved him dearly. He was born May 13, 1947 in Joiner, AR, the son of James Claude and Dora Hunt who preceded him. He grew up in Wilson, AR and graduated from Wilson High School in 1966 where he excelled in both basketball and football.

Robert has spent the last several years enjoying all the good things associated with his retirement. You could always find him sitting on his patio with his little dog enjoying the weather or talking with whatever good company would join him. Friends and family were always welcome. Anybody who knew Robert knows that if it was hunting season, he was in the woods where his heart truly belonged.

He is survived by his son, Dany Hunt of Memphis, TN; daughter, Lisa Hunt Russell of Bartlett, TN; brothers, Claude Hunt (Sharon) of Marion, AR, Paul Hunt (Joyce) of Southaven, MS and a sister, Linda Currie of West Memphis, AR. But the biggest smiles you would see on Robert's face were when his grandkids were mentioned. Carson, Camille, Collin and Anna, he loved you dearly.

Preceding him in death were siblings, James Hunt, William Hunt, Terry Hunt, Roy Hunt, Ann Oliver and Christiva Tolbert.

Visitation will be Saturday, May 11, 2024 in the Chapel at Roller-Citizens Funeral Home, West Memphis, AR from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. A short memorial service will begin at noon.
