Mr. Scott Marcus Hunt

The Life & Legacy of Scott Marcus Hunt

Scott Marcus Hunt, 62, of Alpharetta, passed away peacefully at home on March 23, 2026,

surrounded by his wife, Kristi, and his children, Christopher Scott, Zachary Marcus, and Emily

Kristina Hunt.

Marc was a graduate of Widener University and built a respected career as an experienced public

sector professional, known for his knowledge, dedication, and steady leadership. He approached

his work with the same integrity and quiet determination that defined every part of his life.

At the center of Marc's life, however, was always his family.

He was a devoted husband to Kristi and a father who wanted to be his children's hero-steady,

present, and strong. His love for Chris, Zach, and Emily was constant and unwavering.

Marc showed his love in the way he showed up.

He loved being Chris's soccer coach, taking pride in being on the sidelines and sharing in those

moments together. Even with extensive work travel, he made every effort to be present-getting

to practices, games, and other moments whenever he could, because being there mattered deeply

to him.

He was a proud "watchdog dad," always looking out for his children and guiding them in his

own steady way.

Some of his most cherished moments were the daddy-daughter dances with Emily-times filled

with pride, joy, and a quiet tenderness that meant so much to both of them.

At the neighborhood pool, Marc was at his happiest-laughing as he tossed the kids into the

water, creating the kind of carefree moments that turn into lifelong memories.

Family vacations to Hilton Head became a treasured tradition-time set aside each year to be

together, to laugh, and to reconnect as a family.

Some of his brightest days were spent with his children at the gym, working out side by side.

Marc was in the best shape of his life when he was diagnosed, a strength that helped him endure

the treatments he faced with determination and resilience.

Marc was also a man of discipline and quiet accomplishment-he was sober for 33 years, a

reflection of his strength, commitment, and perseverance.

He had a deep passion for history, especially World War II, with a particular interest in the war in

Europe, while also deeply knowledgeable about the Pacific. He had a remarkable memory and a

gift for knowledge-you always wanted Marc on your team for trivia night, because he seemed

to know a little bit about everything.He was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan and, before becoming a dad, loved playing pool-simple

joys that were very much a part of who he was.

Throughout his illness, Marc carried himself with quiet strength. He was never one to complain

and never asked, "Why me?"-instead, he would say, "Why not me." He often reminded those

around him that you have nothing without your health-a truth he came to understand deeply

and live with humility and acceptance.

The last three years of Marc's life were marked by a quiet but powerful fight. Though much of

his journey was private, it was also defined by perseverance and an unwavering will to hold on.

Because of that strength-and the love that surrounded him-his family was given the gift of

more time. Time for milestones, for everyday moments, and for memories that will last a

lifetime.

Marc passed away peacefully at home, a sacred and tender moment, with Kristi holding his hand

and his children close by-surrounded by love.

Gratitude

Marc's family is deeply grateful to those who walked alongside them during this journey.

To the family and friends who understood the quiet moments, the neighbors who stepped in

when life felt overwhelming, and the many who offered meals, prayers, and support-your

kindness carried this family.

We are especially grateful to the medical team at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, including

Dr. Tadepalli and his nurse Rebecca, whose care gave us the gift of more time.

A heartfelt thank you to Kristi's cousin; Dr. Maria "Marti" Russell for her unwavering support,

guidance, and presence during the most difficult moments.

To the caregivers at Agape Hospice-thank you for bringing peace, comfort, and dignity to

Marc's final days.
