Obituary For Gerald Arthur Hunt

It is with great sadness that the family of Gerald “Jerry” Arthur Hunt announce his passing as their dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, on Friday, January 8, 2021, at the age of 85 years.

Jerry was born in Prince George, BC, on October 27, 1935, and was the eldest of three children of Albert and Lillian Hunt.

Jerry and his wife Valerie moved to Grande Prairie in 1963 with their two children. He was best known for his long tenure with Doug Marshall Motor City, where he was a Salesman, Fixed Operations Manager, and Fleet & Lease Manager.

He was a loving husband, father and grandfather “Gramps” who believed and showed that his family was everything. The memories his family holds will be forever in their hearts.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Valerie; children Dean (Bonnie) and Teri-Anne (Ron); 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; sister Marlene (Gene) Roberts; brother Dennis (Marcy); and a loving extended family which includes in-laws, nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Albert and Lillian; mother in-law Enid Allen; son in-law Chris McMillan; brothers in-law Ken Allen and Mel Keim; and nephew Andrew Hunt.

At Jerry’s request, no service will be held.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Pope & his staff, and the staff at the Grande Prairie Cancer Clinic. As well as a thank you to the home-care nurses and the nurses on 5North at the QEII Hospital for the excellent care given to Jerry.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his name to the Grande Prairie Cancer Centre (C/O Grande Prairie Regional Hospital Foundation, 10409 98 St., Grande Prairie, AB, T8V 2E8), or Bandaged Paws Animal Rescue Association (9920 91 Ave., Grande Prairie, AB, T8V 0G3).

Sad to read of the passing of Gerry. I met Gerry when we took real estate classes together about 25 years ago, and became immediate friends. We would occasionally go for coffee and lunches together and share many laughs . I appreciated his wisdom, perspective and kindness. May you be comforted with happy memories of him. Phyllis McGuffin

I am so sorry for your families loss. Gerry was a great guy and mentor to me. I truly valued his values and his integrity he showed me at work. We would have our disagreements and at the end of it, I always came back feeling like I had learnt something. Gerry was most definitely a pillar in my success in life and I thank God for the success that I have had. . Chris sold me my first house and Gerry sold my first house. Please take care Val, will be send prayers and thoughts to you and the faimly. Cheers. Grant Wert.
