Mr. Craig Timothy Hunter

STATESBORO, Ga. - Mr. Craig Timothy Hunter, age 48, died Friday April 12, 2019, at East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro following a brief illness. The Statesboro native was a 1990 graduate of Statesboro High School. Following his graduation, Craig worked in the sound system industry and mobile home industry. In 2004 he obtained his realtor license and began working with the family business, Century 21, now known as Century 21 The Hunter Group. He was a member of the Statesboro Board of Realtors.
Craig was raised in their family church, Friendship Baptist Church, but now is a member of Eastern Heights Baptist Church where he was a member of the Stephen Frawley Sunday School Class.
His family was the center of his life and he enjoyed the many vacations they had together. The annual family trip to Sarasota, Florida, being the highlight. Craig loved the outdoors, whether he was grilling, riding his jet ski or especially watching sunsets. He loved working out in the gym and his close friends at 180 Fitness.
Craig was known for his kind-heart and sharing with others. He volunteered with Shop with a Cop and Backpack Buddies, that helped people in need. One of Craig's greatest joys was seeing people that had needs and limited resources receive assistance. Craig will be missed but his memory will live on through his generosity to others.
