Billy Rex Hunt
April 18, 1960 - April 15, 2019
Mr. Billy Hunt, 58, passed away on Monday, April 15, 2019 in Columbus, Georgia due to complications from a recent illness. He was born on April 18, 1960 in Tuskegee, AL, the youngest child of Bennie L. Hunt and Ethel S. Hunt. Billy grew up in Auburn, AL when the family moved back to Auburn and opened the Sani-Freeze. He was a 1978 graduate of Auburn High School and a 1984 graduate of Auburn University earning a BS degree in Business Management.

He had been employed at Hanwha Advanced Materials America in Opelika, AL since 2009 as a Trainer and Team Leader along with other responsibilities. Prior, he was in business with his long-time friend Kip Snyder at the Block and Barrel Deli in Auburn. He also was employed for many years at the Opelika-Auburn News as a supervisor in the Mailroom and Circulation Department.

Billy became a Christian at an early age and was a member of the Auburn Church of Christ. He lived his life with Christian standards as a quiet servant doing good where needed. He was an honest, dependable person with a calm, good demeanor.

He was a wonderful son, taking care of his parents in their older years, especially his mother after she became a widow and slowly developed Alzheimer's. He was a great brother to his three older siblings, a true, loyal friend, and a most dependable, hard worker on his job.

Billy lived an active lifestyle. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially bicycling. He and his friends rode many trails throughout the South. He also liked going to the beach in Florida when he could. He and his friends played racquetball on a regular basis and he enjoyed music, especially the Eagles. He also was an avid Auburn sports fan.

Billy was preceded in death by his parents.
