DuRee DuPree (Pete) Hunt, Jr., 75, of Dunlap, TN, died on Sunday, October 26, 2014.

He was a lifelong hunter and fisherman, and he also enjoyed reading, music and singing. Many will long remember his rendition of "These Hands." He grew up on Lookout Mountain and became a member of the Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church. He remembered his childhood there fondly and often spoke of his good fortune to grow up in such a wonderful place. He attended Baylor, Chattanooga City High School, and Presbyterian College. He was beloved by his family, friends, and adored dogs, and he will be greatly missed by them.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Jane Price Hunt; his parents, DuRee DuPree Hunt, Sr. and Ruth Hatcher Hunt.

DuPree or “D.D.,” as he was known by many, is survived by his second wife of 44 years, Nina; five children, DuRee DuPree “Tripp” Hunt, III, Nashville, Katie (Ben) Jumper, Chickamauga, Susan DuRee (Paul) Weir, Norcross, GA, Joel Hamilton Hunt, Chickamauga and Hyland Hunt (Rick), Pensacola, FL; four grandchildren, Case Jumper, Kindal Jumper, Katie Hunt and Trent Hunt; his sister, Judy Hunt Pruett, Hixson; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and great-grandnieces.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
