Gary Lee "Curly" Hunter

Gary Lee "Curly" Hunter obituary, Paradise, CA

Gary Hunter Memoriam

Gary Lee Hunter was known to friends and family as "Curly" his entire life.

It was a nickname that stuck from when he was a little boy: He would curl up anywhere he could, and fall asleep. So his siblings started calling him "Curly" and the name stuck.

I'm so sorry for your loss. As you remember your love one, may your treasured memories and Almighty God bring peace and comfort to your broken hearts. (Psalm 147:3)

I didn't know Gary, but my heart goes out to his family. My mother lost everything in the #campfire and I felt compelled to put my heartbreak in to kind words for those who are no longer with us. I wrote this name poem especially for Gary:

G: Is for Genuine, someone true to the heart,

A: Is for Angel, it's your time to fly, extend your wings far apart.

R: Is for Reliable, you've always come through,

Y: Is for Youthful, you'll always be young no matter what you do.

For someone I never knew - Rest in Peace, Gary!
