Paul Hunton, 79, passed away on August 12, 2025. He was born on December 30, 1945, in Worcester, Massachusetts. In his younger years, Paul's family relocated to Connecticut after the birth of his second brother. Paul proudly served his country as a United States Marine. After- and during- his service, he devoted much of his life to creative pursuits, excelling in illustration. After his service, he continued to pursue his love of art by further developing his skills as an illustrator, painter, and woodworker. He was skilled in carpentry and had a natural talent for working with his hands. Alongside his artistic side, Paul also enjoyed collecting rifles and hunting. He had a lifelong love of the outdoors, and motorcycles became one of his greatest passions. Each year, Paul dutifully rode to Daytona Bike Week, a tradition he rarely missed. Paul was a devoted husband and father. He was fortunate to have met Marjorie through her brother-in-law, and together they built a loving life. He cherished his daughters and family deeply. A man of strong faith, Paul was a faithful member of Christ the King Church, where he attended regularly. He will be remembered for his strength, his creativity, his devotion to family, and his steadfast faith. Paul will be deeply missed by his wife, Marjorie, his family, and all who knew him.
