Chris Cook officiating. Graveside services will be at Bethlehem Cemetery, Marshall Junction, on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 2:30 pm with full military honors.
Herbert was born on June 1, 1933 in Bristol, VA the son of Arthur and Lura (Sells) Hunt who preceded him in death. He was married to Joyce Lee Hunt until her passing in 2009. Herb was a veteran of the US Air Force. He retired in 1998 from Columbia Tribune as a Pressman and from 1998 until his passing was working in the Athletic Department for the University of Missouri. Whether it was for work or for pleasure, you could find Herb attending all types of sporting events at Mizzou; he adored the friendships he had for the past 20 years while working there. He also enjoyed spending time with his grandsons, spending winters with his son and his daughter-in-law in Florida where they enjoyed fishing, taking pictures and bike riding together.
Survivors include: two sons, Mark Hunt (Patty) of Columbia, MO and Michael Hunt (Kathleen) of Naples, FL; one brother, Otis Hunt of Lynnville, TN; two grandsons, Nick Anderson of Columbia, MO and James Anderson (Kayla) of Boonville, MO and one great-grandchild, Judah Anderson. He was also preceded in death by three sisters and three brothers.
Over the past ten or so years I’ve always looked forward to Athletic Department events, because I got to see Herb. He truly was one of my favorite people on the planet. His genuine love for others was magnetic, and that smile that could light up the room, well, as they say, they don’t make ‘em like they used to. Goodbye my favorite conservative friend. Rest in peace. We will miss you.
My friend Herb was such a wonderful person. He was always concerned about the people he worked with, he was the shining light when you would meet him in the hallways of the Hearnes Center. If you needed anything you could look up Herb and he would do whatever was necessary to help. When I was going through my cancer treatment-he would check on me every day to see how I was doing. I will always value his friendship. God truly took an angel! He will be missed.
Sorry to hear about Uncle Hub! He was such a kind, caring man...Always spreading love and sunshine! So glad we got to make the Applebutter memories! Love and hugs to all!
Herb was the most thoughtful, kind and gentle person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing or working with. He was thoroughly dedicated and loyal to his family and his faith. Herb always spread happiness, joy and love to everyone he came in contact with. He exemplified the true example of carrying out the golden rule. If he didn’t have something nice to say, he just wouldn’t say it at all. Even when provided the opportunity, when a person was negative and or had done him wrong or had done someone else wrong, Herb would walk away and keep his opinion to himself rather than voicing it or partaking in saying anything negative about anyone. Herb exemplified what it is to be a true Christian. Herb was passionate about the University of Missouri, its students and student athletes. He truly had a profound impact on me as well as most everyone he came in contact with. I’m selfishly sad to see him go, but so happy that he is no longer in pain and that he has been granted the opportunity to rejoin his lovely wife and be with the lord.
Herb was such a kind and wonderful man. It was always a pleasure to see him outside working in his yard and flowers or just enjoying the day. We would stop and chat and he would often offer our dog a drink from his hose. His smile and kindness will be missed by all of us.
I worked with Herb at Mizzou Athletics for many years. I was so sad to hear of his passing. I first met Herb when he came into my office and asked if I was "Brett's mother". He had worked with my son over the summer and said he needed to meet me and proceeded to tell me that my son was one of the most hard working and polite young men he had ever met. It meant so much to me that he felt the need to come meet me and tell me about his experience with my son. What I realized was that Herb was one of a kind. He truly was one of the kindest, honest and gentle souls I have ever met. From that day on I never saw Herb that he didn't greet me with a hug, smile and ask how me and my family were doing. He made an incredible impression on all whom he met, including my son, who had this to say when I told him of Herb's passing, "He was among the sweetest most genuine people I’ve ever met. One of the few that could truly brighten your day by just a smile and a few words." I couldn't have said it better myself. He became such a great friend over the years, one that I looked forward to seeing frequently and am going to miss him so very badly. Please know that he is going to be missed so incredibly much here but we know he is now in a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. He spoke of you all often. I loved hearing about his trips to Florida and about his family here. God Bless you all.
Herb was such a valuable member of the Mizzou Athletics family for many years. His positive energy, teamwork and focus on serving others had a significant impact on so many people. What a joy it was to work together with Herb! His smile and engaging spirit will surely be missed by countless people...and I will always treasure my opportunity to work with and learn from Herb. A special person.
I was fortunate to work with Herb at Mizzou Athletics. He was truly one of the very best people. He was kind, considerate, always had a warm smile and a hug. I visited Herb at his home on October 2nd shortly after his diagnosis. He was strong, confident, and I could tell not afraid of the journey ahead. I know he missed Joyce every single day since she passed and probably the joy of seeing her again soon far outweighed what he was facing. A true example of dignity and loyalty. I'm lucky to have known Herb. I will truly miss seeing him. To his family, my sincerest sympathies are with you at this time.
I am extremely sorry to hear about the passing of Herb. I first met Herb in 2015 when I started working at Mizzou and my life changed forever because of him. I am eternally grateful that God gave me the chance to cross paths with him and to learn from him. Herb is an amazing example of what a follower of Christ is. He taught me a ton through his actions and words on what it means to bring light to others, serve unconditionally and smile always. Every time I saw him he would ask about my wife and kids and never drew attention to himself. I had the privilege to eat lunch with him and Jim many of times and those are memories I will hold dear to my heart for the eternities. He would tell me about his wife, his trips to Florida, his church activities, his early morning breakfast gatherings, volunteer experiences, etc. Every time time he saw anyone he would always be the first person to say hi with a huge smile on his face followed up with the firmest of handshake and warming hug. He always referred to me as brother (as he would many other people) and that was a testament to me on how he cared for others as if they were blood.
I know I am not family but I love him as if he was my grandpa and cannot wait for the day to meet him again. I know for a fact that he is with his dear wife at this time looking over you and cheering you on for your happiness and success. I pray that you will feel comfort through these difficult times and please know that we are praying for you. Herb was truly a man among men and embodied everything it meant to treat others kindly and fairly. While his earthly life has come to an end, I know his spirit lives and that you will see him again someday. Herb was the man I am striving everyday of my life to be like. May God bless you at this time.

Gayle Ann Patureau Young, age 72, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on July 3, 2018. She is preceded in death by her late parents, Louis E. Patureau, Jr. and Gertrude M. Boudreaux Patureau. She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Robert R. Young, Sr.; her children, Robert R. Young, Jr. (wife Liz), Scot D. Young (wife Samantha); and affectionately known as “G.G.” to her granddaughter, Jordan E. Young.
Gayle was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, and once she met the love of her life, they relocated to Beeville, Texas while Bob was stationed in the Navy. Once his tour of duty was over, they settled back to the New Orleans area where they spent most of their lives in Metairie. Gayle had a smile that would light up a room. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family, spreading her love and devotion to her faith. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
A Visitation and Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, Louisiana, on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. Visitation with the family will be from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm and the Mass of Christian Burial begins at 1:00 pm. A funeral procession will follow to Greenwood Cemetery Mausoleum, 5190 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, Louisiana. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Kidney Foundation or American Diabetes Association in her honor. Condolences may be left to the family at: www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.
We all have gotten to know Gail & Bob throughout the years, on Friday nights at the Mandein House. We will miss Gail’s big smile. She is a wonderful person who we will truly be missed.
One's early life is formed by his or her immediate family unit, and with each passing year, the influence of the community they live helps develop tomorrow's person. No one is promised tomorrow. We all strive for tomorrow and eagerly hope and pray that through our evolving growth we are able to find true love and contentment, someone to walk through life's ever-changing path, to love unconditionally in good and bad times, to share life's treasures and to face the burdens together, always being able to lean on each other for the strength of one.
Time has proven that I was able to find a true love in Gayle Ann Patureau. We started young, found an unconditional love for 55 years, and we were able to walk our chosen paths together, learning with each passing year to respect the other, going the extra mile to support and strengthen the other's path and provide a pillar for each to lean on in good or bad times.
As time went by, we were very fortunate to be blessed with two wonderful sons. And as the sun is setting on our "Winter Years", it's with a deepened gratitude, respect and the joy of parents that we see their lives begin much like ours, and we whole heartedly support each one's growth. We hope and pray they find true, unconditional love like ours and build their own pillar of strength to lean on. Bobby has chosen Elizabeth and Scot has chosen Samantha to make this "Life of Love" walk together. As Jordan, our "Granddaughter", steps through tomorrow's unfoldings, Gayle ("G.G.") will surely be her Special Angel responding with unconditional love, guidance and providing a grandmother's pillar of strength for her to always lean on.
Although Gayle has been taken away far too soon, she will always be there in our hearts to share her never-ending, unconditional love for our family and has fortified a pillar of strength to lean against as we move forward to tomorrow's unfoldings. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but welcomed into the arms and hearts of her extended family tree members that preceded her on this "Heavenly Journey".
Knowing she is riding on the wings of snow white doves, stepping on the fragrant scent of flower pedals and free from all pain and suffering, is a consoling piece of mind as this man's earthly path continues.
