Joseph Lee "Bubba" Hunt

Bubba,
Guess, I'm checking in a little late. But you wouldn't expect me to be on time, I mean that's why you and aunt Judy had to give me a ride to school like every day. I miss you so much. I wish we were in the old buss that sat behind you house, or catching crawdads. I wish we were at my house adding on to our clubhouse in the woods. Maybe at the shop crawing though the big truck tires geeting grease or on the bank getting muddy. I really wish we were camping, swimming in the river...

Dear Bubba, It has almost been a month now since you left us and it seems like yesterday. I miss you so much! Some days I just want to set and cry but I know you are in a better place. I would give anything if I could only see you one more time. Please know I love you and I will keep you in my heart forever. I know Chey misses you to. Bubba you were the best brother anyone could ask for and I thank God for that. Little Angel, please keep watch over us and know you are missed. Love Always, Sissy!

Hi kiddo, I sure am missing you! We are all doing ok,but life is so different without you! You were right about our coach, Matt D. I said that he would probably resign. But, you said they would probably fire him and you were right! They asked him to resign. Maybe Dean Smith will come out of retirement! I wish! Then we could be a winning team again!I hope that you didn't forget to kiss Maw Cook for your mama. I'm glad that you are in a happier place and that you no longer suffer! I feel very...

Dear Mom and Dad,
It has just been a little over three weeks since we buried our Angel and I can’t image what you both are going through. I only know my pain and what my heat feels. I thank God each and every day for the great parents we have. I commend you for all you have done. You stood by Joseph’s side, you loved, you took care of him, and must of all you were there for him and for that God will reward you greatly. You both have been a great inspiration to me and I hope I am a...

Joe, Judy, Monica, Charlie,
In the time I got to know Bubba-I really fell in love with him. The faith and courage that that little boy had was astonishing. I hope that someday I can understand why bad things have to happen to good people. You are a great family and I am soooo glad that Dusty was friends with Joseph and I hope that some of Joseph's faith and courage and love has spilled over to Dusty. He really admired Joseph, as we all did, and I especially want to let you, Judy and...

Dear Judy, I was so sorry to hear about Joseph's death. My heart is sad as I think about your loss, and the grief you must be going through. I remember 5 years ago resting in the Pediatric Intensive Care Waiting Room at Mission Memorial, after my son Josh had been injured in an accident at Chimney Rock. All of a sudden, this HUGE family burst through the doors, crying and holding on to each other, after you'd received the news of your son's car accident. During the weeks that we both "lived"...

Dear Joseph,
It seems like only yesterday when Mom real calmly walked through the kitchen and as she approached the doorway she quietly said “He’s Gone” then the tears began to flow as we rushed to your bedside. Baby, please forgive me for smiling but as I closed me eyes I could see you entering the gates to Heaven with our loved ones, running the streets of gold, and worshiping our wonderful Lord, our Heavenly Father. The past three weeks has been very hard ever song I hear I see...

dear hunt family,

i'm very sorry for your loss. i don't know if you remember me, but i was in the hospital up at mission memorial in NC, the same time Joseph was. my mom just told me about what had happened, and i was so shocked. again, i'm so very sorry for your loss, and just want to remind you that God loves your family, and has control over every situation we humans go through. the only thing that will get you through this, is the love of Christ...
God Bless You
