R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Memories of a life well lived may help to comfort
those saddened by the passing of Glen Dale Hunt on April 20, 2023,
at the age of 75; and
WHEREAS, A native of Lubbock, Glen Hunt was born on July 12,
1947, to George Wilbur and Dorothy Nixon Hunt; as a youth, he
participated in activities at Asbury United Methodist Church
Lubbock, and he earned the rank of Eagle Scout and the God and
Country Award during his years in the Boy Scouts; following his
graduation from Monterey High School in 1965, he obtained a degree
in government and completed further graduate work at Texas Tech
University; and
WHEREAS, After being hired by the Idalou Independent School
District, Mr. Hunt worked for 13 years as a teacher, K-12
counselor, and curriculum director; his desire to play an active
role in the community led him to successfully run for a seat on the
Idalou City Council and then to serve two terms as the city's mayor;
from 1979 to 1985, he worked as an administrative assistant to
Congressman Kent Hance, and then became executive assistant to
Mr. Hance at the Railroad Commission of Texas; he went on to join
the office of state comptroller John Sharp, to serve as the first
director of operations for the Texas Lottery, and to work as a clerk
with the Redistricting Committee of the Texas House of
Representatives; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Hunt continued his career in education as an
adjunct government professor at Austin Community College, where his
nearly three decades of service also included a tenure as chair of
the Government Department; teaching the subject was his greatest
joy in life, and he relished having the opportunity to impart to his
students the importance of being an informed participant in the
democratic process; and
WHEREAS, Outside of his professional life, Mr. Hunt took
pleasure in taking trips to locations around the globe; since 2002,
he had been an active member of the upRising congregation in Austin,
and he was involved in neighborhood activities in the Ashton Woods
subdivision; and
WHEREAS, Although Glen Hunt is deeply missed, he will forever
be remembered with admiration and affection by his loved ones and by
the countless other individuals whose lives he touched; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Glen Dale Hunt and
extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to his
sisters, Sue Hunt and Ann McAdams and her husband, Kenneth; to his
nephews, Andrew Will McAdams and his wife, Sarah, and their
children, Connor, Kylie, Jackson, Blake, and Avery, and Brant Ware
McAdams and his wife, Alison, and their children, Payton Hunt and
Adelyn Sue; and to his other relatives and numerous friends; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Glen Hunt.
