Obituary

Mark Hunter passed away on September 27, 2023 in Fort Myers, FL.

Mark was funny and full of laughter.  He expressed his faith in God as, “My Dad takes care of me every day.” He fed the homeless, comforted widows, and could empathize with those who knew loss and pain. He invested himself into the people around him and will be dearly missed. He loved the blues and classic rock– especially the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton. 
 
Mark graduated from Tremper HS. He served on the Kenosha School Board at the age of 18 as the youngest elected official in Wisconsin. He was recognized for his community service as a police officer with the Village of Pleasant Prairie, WI, and was semi-retired as part-time handyman, jokester and raconteur in Cape Coral/Ft Myers, FL for the last several years.
 
Mark is survived by two sons, Jack and Jed Hunter, his brothers, Matt (Laura) Hunter, John (Cyndy) Hunter, and his sister, Ruth Duran (née Hunter), along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Matthew Hunter, Jr. and Velma Hunter (née Green), and his son, Jeramiah Hunter.
 
A private memorial service will be held by family and friends.

    Mark Hunter
    was a man who loved God and shared that love whoever he met. He gave selflessly to his family, friends, even to those that sometimes didn’t deserve it. He encouraged others beyond the norm. He shine his light wherever he went.
    I thank God for letting me know him and the legacy of compassion he shared. I thank you Lord for sharing Mark Hunter with me and all others In the brief time he was here on earth.
    Someday to meet again once this life has passed.

    Mark, you were always a good listener and had a way of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.
    I appreciate your generosity and how you always saw the needs of others and did what you could
    to meet their need. I'll miss talking with you and especially our pun battles. You always had the last
    and best ones well after I ran out!
    I miss you but I know I will see you in heaven some day.
    Love,
    John
