Mr. Hunt died Saturday, July 21, 2007, in Longview. My beloved husband and my children's 
father went home to see the Lord after a courageous fight.

Sally Johnson Hunt.

Mr. Hunt retired after 31 years as a supervisor and crane engineer for T&T Pipe Line, a 
subsidiary of Lone Star Steel.

Throughout his life, he remained a constant provider and supporter for our family. A source 
of strength and dependability to all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn a beautiful wife and soul mate of 59 years, Leneva; four sons, Wardell of 
Longview, Leavell (Valerie) of Nacogdoches, Sammy K. of Dallas, and Byron of East Rutherford,

Houston, and Cheryl of Dallas; 10 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one sister, Georgia 
Murray of Los Angeles, California; one brother, Edward Hunt of Sherman; a special niece, 
Jewel Faye Manns of Longview; and a host of others, including nieces, nephews, cousins and 
friends. He is the father of two White Oak High School standouts, Sam Hunt, formerly of the
