Dr. Kenneth Johnson Hunsaker

Kenneth loved his toys and his family

couldn't believe 15 years.

We miss you dearly Kenneth! You were a joy to our family! Mark and Jonni

I am where I am today because of Dr Hunsaker taking me under his wings. Every time I travel to Provo, I have to stop by his office where he was so kind to take me in to explore the profession. I was at an Air Force endo course when my cousin Rick called with the devastating news. I was supposed to see patients that afternoon but I couldn't stop crying for the loss of my great friend and mentor. I'm ever thankful for Kenneth and his kindness.

i love you and miss you more than ever.
i think about you every day!
i love you!! :)

Me and the kids were listening to the voice mails you left for us from a year ago today. Your jokes were endless. Thank you for leaving us a precious gift behind. It is very painful, unbelievable and unbearable to know you are gone. Time certaintly does not kill the pain. We love you buddy!

Dear Ken:



We think of you often and wanted to express our love to you again. We miss you, especially when we go to the dentist. They aren't as gentle and kind as you were. Looking forward to the day we can see you again.



Thinking of you always,

The McEwans

Dear Daddy,

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I hope that you know how much I love you and miss you. You were the best daddy that anybody could ever have had. I LOVE YOU!!! Never forget me ok? I promise that I will never ever forget you.



Love,

Hey Big Dog. I was just thinking about some of the funny jokes we had and back to the DVD I made you. I was thinking about things like " On the Catwalk" and the Valley Girl voice, " I'm a Model"!. Ha haha, good time. Love and miss ya.

Kenneth:

Just wanted to let you know that we think about you almost every day. Each time we look at Seth's headstone, we think of you because it is so beautiful and so many people comment on it. Thank you for showing us your love in this way. We look forward to the day we will see you and Seth again.



Much love,

The McEwan Family

Hi All,



I just got a letter in the mail today notifying us of this tragity. Dr. Hunsaker was mine and my wifes Dentist for over 10 years. He has to have been the most honest, Kind, Careing Dentist in the whole valley (I know I never had any intentions on leaving him).



If he ran his buisness this way, I can only imagine how good of a father he was! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I miss this man just from him being our Dentist. I can only imagine how much you all must be missing him.

Kenneth was an amazing man. I remember when he would ride up to his house on his Harley every everning after work and how excited his kids got when they heard him driving down the street. He would then put them on the back and take them for rides. They loved that.

He always had a smile on his face and he was so friendly and kind to everyone. i thank him for the kindness he showed to my bbother Seth.

i want him to know how much my family loves him and I personally want to thank him for the love,concern, and support he showed us during our rough time and that he will always be in my heart.

To the Hunsaker family, i hope you know that you are thought of every day and I am so sorry for your loss. you all are in our prayers and hope you are able to find comfort in the many wonderful memories of your husband and father. He is watching over you and will always be there.

Carlene, Alec and Alyssa-He loves you so much and he will be with you always.

i love you all and pray for you.

Daddy,

I miss you SSOOO much! You will never know how much I loved you. You were the best daddy that anybody could EVER ask for. I hope that you know that. I love you SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!!! Never forget me ok? I know that I will never forget you!

I WAS DEEPLY SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD OF THE DOCTOR'S PASSING.

HE WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, AND VERY KIND, AND PATIENT.

HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, AS HE LEFT US TOO SOON.

HE WILL STAY IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS FOR YEARS, AND I THANK HIM FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS HE HAS DONE.

THANK YOU, HUNSAKER FAMILY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Thanks for the memories. You're our star, remember? I still have my genuine grain of salt and certificate you made me. I'll never look at stars the same. We miss you.

Not a day has gone by this past month, that I have not thought of you.

I knew Kenneth through my cousin Rick Wahlin who served his mission with Kenneth in Ecuador. While I was up at BYU, I was able to meet Kenneth and was amazed at how happy and upbeat he was. As an aspiring dentist, Kenneth selflessly took me under his wings and took the time to help me get where I'm at today. I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear family of Dr. Hunsaker,



Our family wishes to thank him for all his kindness to us throughout the 10 years we were his patients. He was so generous to us, and very thoughtful. I told him how caring and trustworthy I felt he was. My children liked the letters he sent them after each checkup. I could tell he had a wonderful sense of humor. We will miss him!

It is March 21st and I'm saddened to just find out that our family dentist of 10 years has passed away. I'm in such shock. Dr. Hunsaker was the most remarkable man. We would drive the distance to see our favorite dentist. We even continued visiting him when our insurance changed and he was no longer on our preferred list. We just didn't care to pay extra. We loved our dentist. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. The only thing that gives me any comfort and hopefully some comfort for the family is that someone in heaven must needed some dental work and they just wanted the best dentist. Our prayers are with you. Mike, Sandi, Jessie and Josh Jorgensen

Dear Hunsaker Family,

I am sorry to hear of your deep loss. ( I knew Melanie from School)My Sincere condulances

Dena Jensen

Dear Hunsaker Family,



There are no words to express the depth of my sorrow for your loss. I knew Kenneth as my dentist as one of his first patients nearly 10 years ago. I too moved from Provo and willingly drove the extra distance so I and my family could be served by such a kind and gentle man. He was always genuinely interested in my life, wife and children and asked about them each by name. He was to me someone I admired for his friendliness and sincerity. He was thoughtful and generous and would always call and check on me after a major procedure. He was truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed by me and my family. May God bless you all during this challenging time and I would like you to know that Kenneth was respected, honored and even loved my many whom you may never know or have the chance to meet.



Our sincerest condolences,

Quinn, Martha, Quinny, Olivia & Gabrielle Sutton

Dear members of the Hunzaker and Christensen families,

May God's love help sustain you, may you find new hope with each new day and may your life missions continue. You're all in the thoughts and prayers of every dentist you touched through your works..........and the many patients you've served.

Dear Hunsaker Family,

I cried and cried when I found out today that my dear dentist passed away, and I wanted to express my feelings to you. My husband, my children and I had been patients of Dr. Hunsaker's for the last almost five years. We have six small children, and it was no small task to pack up the whole bunch to drive the half hour to his office in Provo. Because of the kind of person he was and the trust we had in him as a dentist, I never thought twice about making that trip. He had such a kindness about him and was always concerned that his patients were comfortable. He was so sweet to my children - they always loved coming to the dentist to see Dr. Hunsaker, and to be brave for him so they could earn tokens for goodies. I was always impressed that after any extensive dental work, he would call that evening to check on me or my children to make sure we were doing okay. I'm sure he was tired after a long day of work, but he always took the time to check on us. Carlene, Alyssa, and Alec, I don't know you, but I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing your husband and daddy with us, and may you always be comforted that he lives on in the memories of the many whose lives he touched with his kindness and concern. Our prayers are with you.

Love,

Ann, Hugh, Steven, Daniel, Julia, Michael, Alyssa, & Natalie Wilkins

My life and the life of my children has been profoundly changed because Kenneth was such a big part of it.



Hanging out as teenagers, becoming our best man, and being one of my dearest and cloest friends makes it so hard to wake up every morning realizing Kenneth is gone.



The memories of our daily talks, exchanging stories of our daily challenges with work, family and friends. (Kenneth was always good at giving wise advice sincerely and freely), his contagious laugh, the super fast rides on the Harley and his great sense of humor. (Kenneth's impressions of Napoleon Dynamite had reached perfection) will never ever be forgotten.



Carlene, as you already know, Kenneth cherished and loved you so much. He was so proud to be your husband.



Alyssa and Alec, Your dad could never figure out how he got so lucky in life to get two amazing kids, a beautiful wife and a cool dog. He felt so privileged being your dad. He loved you both dearly. Alec, I'm sure he is expecting you to take really good care of that great big dog.



Through our daily tears of grieving for your Husband, father, son, brother, uncle and our best friend that isn't here anymore, can we remember and hold close all that Kenneth is and and will always be.



We love you Kenneth!



Claudia, Tyler, Brock and Sweet Sweet Heather

Dear Hunsaker Family,

I just needed to let you know that Dr. Hunsaker was the best dentist my family has ever been too. He was always so kind, friendly, and wonderful with my kids. They loved going to the dentist! Threatening them with trip to the dentist from eating Halloween candy in bed was no threat at all. They actually thought that would be great. They loved the tokens, the train and their McDonald's gift certificates! We tried a new dentist when my husband changed jobs (and insurance) but went immediately back to the best.

He really cared about his patients and we will never be able to find a replacement for him.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Coleen Peterson

Our prayers and loving concern are with you in this time of sad bereavement.

NC Cousins

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Hunsaker. I have been thinking quite a bit about him and my experience/opportunity I had to work for him. I couldn't have asked for a better boss. He really put up with a lot having me and the other girls in the office. We sure did have some great times and many laughs! I was amazed at what a generous person he was. I knew that he would have done anything for each of us. He was always considerate of our busy schedules and was willing to work around them. I learned a great deal that year. He had a lot to do with making my last year in college my favorite one.

I'll never forget that amazing train that he had in his office!

Carlene, Alyssa, Alec, and family Dr. Hunsaker truly was a kind man. Know that you are in my prayers.

Take Care,

Dear Kristin and the Hunsaker family, I heard about Kenneth's death and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I didn't know him well but I've heard he was a remarkable man who was loved by everyone. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Shauna Engen

Dr. Hunsaker was an amazing dentist. My family and I have been going to him for the past 6 years. He was so gentle and always cared about how you were feeling during any procedure. My three kids loved him very much and we will miss him so very much. He really took pride in his work and caring for his patients. It showed in every way. My kids also loved his train so much. It will be very hard to ever replace him. What a Great man he was.

Dr.Kenneth J. Hunsaker, What a True Friend Indeed you are. I will always Remember and Love you For Being A True Friend ! The summer of the Honda 110's. The Lear Jet Ride. Your Smile And That Mischievious Grin ! And Finally being the great Dr. That you were. The Train in your office was always a Treat for the kids and I to see.(i was jealous of that Train). Thanks to your Mother, Father and Family for letting me share The Memories of You with them. And to your Beautiful children, Alyssa and Alec. Your Father was the Greatest. Always remember how Much He Loved You !! And Carlene, My Deepest Sympathy. sincerely, Ryan M. Taylor

Hunsaker Family,



I just want you to know how much your father and husband was loved, not just for his gentle dentistry but for the wonderful employer that he was. I could have never ask for a better boss and friend. He always had some wise crack to cheer you up, and always a smile on his face. I didn't ever think that this man had a bad day. I never did see him without a smile. He was the best dentist anyone could ask for. I would tell everyone about him and refer them to him. We had some of the funnest days anyone could ever ask for in the work place. He never said a mean thing, his words were always words of encourgement and appreciation. Kenneth will be sorely missed.



Carlene, Alyssa, and Alec know that you are in our prayers and there is not a day go by that I don't think of you.



Kenneth-Thank you for the time that I was able to work for you, and for all of the things that you taught me. Also, thanks for the words of encourgement. There will always be a place in my heartfor you. You were a great friend and boss.

Carlene and family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Gary Chambers

Thank you for your gentle manner and generosity. We will miss you.



The Heath Family

Dr Hunsaker and Family especially Kristen, I was so sad to hear about Kenneth. How devastating! I'm so sorry. I can't imagine your grief. Kristen, I miss you. Are you OK? The Kentucky Porters

Dear Kenneth:

We can't find the words to express the sorrow in our hearts at this time. All we can think of is the true love we felt from you when our son Seth passed away last November and everything you did for us to help comfort us at that time. Seth was so excited for you to work on his teeth and said he wanted the best dentist to do the job. We will not forget the talks we had with you during the weeks after as you shared your love for your family and your older brother who had died.

We loved being your neighbors in Lindon and loved watching you ride your HARLEY down the street with your black shades on and smiling the whole way.

Thanks for your friendship and love and we know that you will share your kind heart with those who you now meet. Give Seth a big hug for us.

Carlene, Alyssa, Alec -- may you find the comfort of your Heavenly Father as you begin this long healing process. He loves you and will give you strength.



Much Love,

Steve, Laurie, "Seth", Kaylee & Landon McEwan

Ken your kind heart and selfless actions made each day special to have known you. I wish I would have made a bigger effort to stay in touch. You are missed!

Dear Carlene and Hunsaker Family,



From the first time I met Kenneth on our mission, through college and even our last phone conversation a few weeks back he always made me laugh and happy. I love Kenneth and will miss him. I will always cherish his kindness and playfulness - he loved life and always had big plans for something new. Sorry I was unable to be with you today; you are all in my prayers. Kenneth, I look forward to seeing you again,



Love,



Rick

You always kept us laughing at the office I know we will all miss you.

Dear Hunsaker Family,



We just wanted to send our condonlences on the loss of your father, husband, and son. We had the wonderful opportunity to have Dr. Hunsaker as our dentist for 3 years while we lived in Provo and are saddened to hear about his death. He was always so happy to see us and was concerned about our well being. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We wish you the best.



Love,

Aaron & Kimberly Welling

We are deeply saddended to hear of the passing of Dr. Hunsaker. Dr. Hunsaker was a kind and gentle man and we will miss him dearly. Please accept our deepest condolences in this time of grief. Love Scott, Kaye, Sara, Emily, Sophie and Chloe.

Dr. Hunsaker, you will always have a special place in the hearts of our family. Our children looked forward to every dental visit and to your contagious smiles and warmth.



My 3 year-old just had her first visit to Dr. Hunsaker's office and lost all fear of sitting in the big chair because of the gentleness he possessed.



Alyssa and Alec, our prayers are with you - we saw you often at karate and in the office. We loved your dad and will miss him.



Chris, Julie, Ryan, Caroline, and Sophie

Thank you, Dr. Hunsaker for your gentleness and humor. All who knew you will miss you so much. To your dear family, please know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. May the Lord bless and comfort and strengthen you.

Dear Kenneth,

I am sorry I didn't come visit sooner. I hope you will forgive me. You will never know the void your absence has created. I hope with all my heart we will be able to meet again. My warmest wishes to your family. I don't know the words to express how profoundly saddened I am by your passing. bc.

Dear Glade, Judy and Family

Our thoughts are with you and your family today and will be in the weeks ahead. Although we didn't know Kenneth, we do know how much he will be missed by you and your family, and our hearts ache for all of you. You were a great comfort and support to us when our son Doug died almost three years ago. I know you will be blessed as you endure this tradgedy and accept our Father in Heaven's love and the blessings He will pour out upon you at this time.

Sharon and I want to bring our Mom to Utah in a few weeks to visit with you. She really wanted to be with you today, but we couldn't work it out.

Know that we love you and are praying for you with all our hearts.

Sincerely, your cousins Arlene & Peter Cannon

Carlene, While we were roommates in the hospital, Kenneth would come faithfully to support you and cheer you up. He had a quiet stength about him. You are a very special person and are blessed with a supportive, loving family. I have thought of you often. Please tell your parents how much their kindness has changed my life. I have smiled at everyone I meet thanks to your Father. Please know that I love you...we had many a great chat. You have a grace and sweetness I will always remember. Mary Reay

Dear Hunsaker Family,

I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Hunsakers passing. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my time working for Kenneth. He taught me so much, he was the greatest boss. He always let you know how appreciative he was for a job well done. I will always remember the good times we had at work. My daughter will miss the "golden coins" that Kenneth always had in his pocket for her when we would come in, and the "letter" that would follow in the mail. He always went the extra mile for his patients. We will miss him. My deepest thoughts and sympathies are with you at this time.

Kenneth:



You have been a true friend to me from elementary school, through the final days or your life on earth. I have looked up to you and enjoyed the time we laughed and giggled about life, you are truly a one of a kind. I have never liked having my teeth worked on, but seeing you and catching up made the panic worth facing. I will look forward the promised motorcycle trek in the next life, I’ll bet they have some sweet rides there, and you will be one of the first people I seek out, or just be there waiting for me. ?



I have said to many in the passing days that you would make my top 5 kindest people in the world list, hands down, but after much reflection, I couldn’t think of any one kinder.



You were dear to my sweet wife, concerned about my boys and their wellbeing, and are greatly loved and already dearly missed by the Stewarts. You and will remain a powerful reminder of the kind of person we should all strive to be, may my boys grow up to be more like you than me is my simple prayer.



See you soon buddy.

We will miss the train, the handshake at the beginning of each visit, the evening follow up phone call, the genuine concern for each and every member of our family, and the funny little magnifying glasses. Of every medical professional our family has dealt with in the past 25 years Dr. Hunsaker was truly the kindest, friendliest, and most sincere we have met. We will miss him chasing Rambo down the street, and his enthusiasm about his trees and lights. Carlene, Alec, and Alyssa our thoughts and prayers our with you. We will always miss our friend.

Kenneth, our family was richer in our lives because you were a part of it.

One should normally be apprehensive about going to their dentist for their regular visit, but all members in our family loved visiting your clinic. We knew we were going to get looked after!

Everyone in your clinic was so gracious. Your followup with a phone call to check on us was unbelievable. What a treat it was! You made us feel special. It will be hard to replace you as a true friend and professional.

I had just visited with you 3 days before your passing, which made me even sadder to think that you were no longer with us.

May our Heavenly Father open his arms to take you home is our prayer, in Jesus Christs' name, Amen.

Forever our Love, Mark and Jonni, Angela, Andrew, Sarah, Aaron, and Ian.

ps. May the Hunsaker Family know that we are thinking of them in this time of mourning.

Dr. Hunsaker, thank you so much for all that you taught me. my thoughts and prayers are with your family. thankyou

Dr.Hunsaker was the best dentist I have ever had in my long life. Both my husband and I were patients of his. I always recommended him to others. Whenever any work was done on us, he personally called in the evening to make sure we were doing ok. He was an exceptional person and I hope that his family will take comfort in the wonderful positive influence he had on people. My prayers are with you.

Dear Carlene, Alyssa and Alec:

My heart breaks for the loss of Kenneth in your lives. I was so fortunate to know and work with him at CRA. He is one of the most caring, generous people I have ever met. I loved seeing his wonderful smile and will cherish the friendship we shared. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will miss you my dear friend.

Thank You for being a friend. Much love to your family.

Our love goes out to Dr. Hunsaker's family. We've had the privilege of knowing Kenneth for over 10 years through his dental practice. We have always been so impressed by his genuine compassion, outgoing manner, and honesty. He is truly missed, and will surely be remembered.

Dr Hunsaker was an awesome individual. He was so gentle with my children and kind and caring to my husband and me. Our entire family will miss him greatly! Our prayers are with his family.

I was so shocked to learn of Dr. Kenneth Hunsaker's passing today. It was only by accident that I learned about it from a friend while mentioning that I had to make a dental appointment, and she asked me for my dentist's name, and I said that he was the best dentist that I've ever had, having been referred to him by another great dentist I had had previously who was retiring, Dr. Matthews. She had just read the obituaries, and I never read them.



I can't begin to tell you how great Dr. Hunsaker was as a person, and as a dentist, and I am saddened deeply by his passing. I became a patient of his around 10 years ago, when he had his wonderful pregnant wife assisting him, and he had just started his new dental practice. I told everybody about how great he was, and whenever they needed a dentist I mentioned his name. He always made me feel like I was so very special when I sat in his dental chair. Like I was the only person in the room. He never chatted with his assistants while he was working on me, and always asked me if I was okay, sometimes many times, while he was completing his dental procedure. He was, indeed, a great person and an extraordinary dentist. I and my family will miss him sorely.



God bless his family and friends. May Dr. Kenneth Hunsaker rest in eternal peace.

Who has ever heard of children faking a toothache for a trip to the dentist? Well, mine have done just that! They loved Dr.Hunsaker, his office, and the Mcdonalds dollars. We are so sorry for the Hunsaker's loss. We pray that you will find peace and comfort in the Atonement of our Savior.

Ken - I and my wife will really miss you. You were a great friend and a great person that I looked up to. You will always be remembered in the Fullmer household.

I am so sorry to hear of Kenneth's death. I hope the best for his family and want you to know what a kind and gentle man I thought him to be.

Ken was a great mentor for me with dentistry. He gave me great advice, opportunity and guidance. I will really miss him.

Dear Hunsaker Family,

Our family was so saddened to read of Dr. Hunsaker's death and wanted to express our love and support to you at this difficult time. We were dental patients of his and really enjoyed his excellent knowledge, service, and kindness to each member of our big family.

I grew to really trust Dr. Hunsaker and his advice regarding the dental health of my chilren and myself. He had a sweet way about him, and a humble but confident nature. We will miss his wonderful skill and expertise. We wil be sad to have to find another dentist. Of course noone can take his place and we will be praying for your dear family to be strenghtened and comforted. Please know that dear Dr. Hunsaker made our lives better and he will be greatly missed. Love to you all,

The George and Leslie Nelson Family (Justin, Maclain, Jordan, Courtney, Tyler, Marshall, and Audrey)

Dear Carlene and family,

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you every day. I pray for you and your family. You are dearly loved.

Dr.H Taught me so much about dentistry, that I would have never learned anywhere else. He took a chance on hiring an old lady and introduced me to a wonderful work field. He was such a funny guy and would come up with the funniest sayings and jokes. I will always remember the laughs we shared.

I remember his love for animals in the wilderness. When he looked at pictures of deer in the wild he was happy and loved them so much. But not as much as his little kids who when he talked about them, his face had a glow. He will be missed.

Dear Carlene and Hunsaker Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Kenneth. I have known Kenneth for almost 20 years, and he has always been a true friend and associate. I have such wonderful memories of Kenneth when we first started working together @ Gordon's office, setting up his practice, talking about Harley's, and just goofing around. I enjoyed so much calling on him at work and he taking the time to talk to me and catch up on our family's. He always had smile on his face and a kind word. Kenneth was a true friend and I will miss him always.

Deb Grieve

I hope Alyssa and Alec know how many, many friends their dad has.



From my years at CRA, he always had a smile and kind word to say to me. Our family has considered Kenneth not only our dentist, but also our friend. He was quick to ask how my family was--anytime I saw him. And when I returned the question, he had a little sparkle in his eye when he told me what the kids were up to.



He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Hunsaker was the most loving, friendliest Dentist in the world! I loved to go and see him. He was soooo caring. After he would do work on us, he would call later that night to check up and make sure that we were doing ok. Just a WONDERFUL man! Thanks for being so caring Dr. Hunsaker! I will sorely miss having him as my Dentist.



Carlene, Alyssa and Alec, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father! May God watch over you!
