Really sad to hear about Chris. I competed against Chris in Jr golf and got to know him a little off the course. He was always the life of the clubhouse and one of the most talented and charismatic players I ran across.

I wish I had known of his passing earlier but know he's in a great place.

Memories of Chris bring only smiles to my face. He taught me how to play golf, we worked out together, we were even in a movie with Luke Perry together! "Terminal Bliss" Our times together at Henry's were great. You will be missed! My thoughts and prayers for all your family and friends.

Chris Hunt was one of the most talented junior golfers I ever played with! We only crossed paths occasionally as adults but I always admired him and am very sad to hear he has left us. May God bless and give comfort to his family and his friends.
