Michael Hunter Obituary
Mr. Hunter was born in San Diego, CA. He traveled frequently in a military family before settling in Suffolk, VA. He also lived in St. Petersburg, FL, where he had many good friends, before moving to Aberdeen, MD. He invested in real estate, worked in steel manufacturing and was proud to work in basement waterproofing, as a driver and forklift operator before his illness.
In addition to his parents, Jay and Merna Hunter of Suffolk, VA, Mr. Hunter is survived by his beloved children, Joshua, Jesse and Shannon Hunter of Churchville, MD. He is also survived by his brothers, Jay Jr. of Portsmouth, VA, Richard Hunter (Jen) of Norfolk, VA, sister, Kathy Wood (Gene) of Chesapeake, VA, and by many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
He spoke frequently of his late grandmother and trips to northern Pennsylvania to visit his family. He was a fan of Iron Maiden and karaoke. He loved talking, telling people stories, the ocean, coin collecting, concerts, motorcycles, his "historic" Chevy Blazer, camping, North Carolina style BBQ pork, soft shell crabs, bonfires, boating, music, singing, hunting, wandering through the woods, streams, creeks, and the beach. His children remember him dressing as Santa Claus and taking them to Chuck-e-Cheese.
A private family memorial is planned in Suffolk, VA.

Mike was one of those few friends that you could always count on no matter what. I have so many great memories like how we rode our first Harleys and summers at the beach. You were like a brother and truly will be missed. I'll keep a seat for you around the camp fire. Love you brotha, rest in peace!!

Mike has been a good friend since our days at John Yeates and Armstead Forest, where he got me hooked on motorcycles. You are going to be missed around the campfire and the fireworks.
