In the quiet embrace of February 1, 2026, Matthew T. Hunter departed from this world, leaving behind a tapestry of love woven through the lives he touched. A devoted partner to Elaine Kendall, Matthew's heart was a sanctuary where warmth and kindness flourished.
As a loving father, he cherished every moment with his son, Michael Hunter, nurturing dreams and sharing laughter. Born to John and Anne Hunter, Matthew was part of a vibrant family, a brother to seven, His legacy continues in the joyful hearts of his nieces and nephews, each of whom carry a piece of his spirit within them.

Private services were held, a gentle farewell that reflects the quiet strength and dignity with which he lived his life. Matthew's presence may have departed, but his love remains a guiding light, forever illuminating the paths of those he adored.
