Victor Hundt, 85, of Franklin, Tennessee, passed away on October 23, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on April 1, 1940, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Victor was a hardworking and intelligent man whose strength was balanced by a quiet tenderness. He earned a master’s degree from Duke University.

Victor was known for his strong opinions and steadfast values, but those who knew him best saw the warmth, humor, and deep kindness beneath his tough exterior.

He will be remembered for his wisdom, his love of life’s simple pleasures, and the steady, honest way he cared for the people and things he loved most.
