Wilson Timothy Hunt was born December 17, 1943 at Henderson, Texas to Wilson and Agnes Hunt. He went home to be with the Lord on July 30, 2020 in Granbury, Texas where he had lived for many years.

Tim graduated from Richland High School in Fort Worth, Texas. His college years took him to Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas where he earned both a B.S. and M.S. in Biology.

Following graduation from Abilene Christian, Tim was a science professor at Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas for 23 years. After his teaching career at Southwestern, Tim taught middle school in Granbury Independent School District for 12 years. While at Oakwoods Middle School he suffered a stroke that he survived but prevented him from continuing his teaching career. Tim also taught for many years in the children’s Bible class program of the Granbury Church of Christ.

Tim’s career in education gave him summers to pursue his interests. He spent many summers traveling the world, visiting missionaries and sharing the Gospel in places like the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, Tahiti, France, Switzerland, and Russia. Tim would almost always make contact with the Church of Christ missionaries in all his travels. He also worked in Christian camps in Texas and Colorado. Tim had a great interest in people, other cultures, other languages, and world evangelism.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Woodrow Wilson Hunt and Agnes Erna Blanton Hunt and his brother Phillip Hunt.

Tim is survived by his sister-in-law Annette Hunt and her daughters; Rachel Ann Hill, Jessica Lynn Franco and Stephanie Rampone.

Tim is also survived by his very good friend Janie Pieratt.

Tim has asked for any memorial contributions to be made to World Christian Broadcasting, 605 Bradley Ct., Franklin, Tennessee 37607.

Funeral Service will be held 2 PM. Tuesday; August 4, 2020 at Granbury Church of Christ, 1905 W. Pearl Street in Granbury with graveside service and burial following at Holly Hills Memorial Park in Granbury under the direction of Wiley Funeral Home.

I was a student at Southwestern in 74. I had the opportunity of knowing brother Hunt through class and work study. I will forever forever remember his kindness and the Christian example he set for all who knew him. So sorry I lost touch and just learned of his passing.
Bridgette left a message on August 4, 2020:
Bro. Hunt loved science and the passion that he had for the subject was passed on to the students. He was a smart, humble man who chose to teach at a college consisting of a majority of black students. He didn't stay within the confines of the campus, but did outreach to the underserved communities in Terrell, Texas, by taking students to knock doors and spread the gospel. He would take his brown Impala and drive students to Harding University and David Lipscomb to allow them to see other Christian campuses to possibly attend after SWCC. I often wondered why Bro. Hunt chose SWCC, but by review of his life and humble service, it seems that he just wanted to make a Christian impact in the lives of children at SWCC, and encourage them to reach their full potential. He did.

Bro Hunt was the best Professor, friend and brother in Christ. We met in 1988 when I was freshman. I worked for him for two years. We had so many special memories. Going to Boles Home, godpel meetings and running together and eating at Braums. You taught us the true meaning of Christian love by the way you lived. I named my son after him. He will always be remembered for his great love for all of us. Swcc class of 1990
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

February 5, 2018 Dear Brother Hunt, I would just like to tell you thank you for all of the outstanding work you accomplished at Southwestern Christian College. During your lifetime while you taught at SwCC, you touched the hearts of so many young people who attended SwCC while you were their Science and Biology Professor. Many became very successful in their careers and their life. My words cannot even begin to express the affect that you and Southwestern Christian College has had on my life. I was not a Christian when I enrolled at SwCC but I became a Christian a short time afterwards by the teaching of the friends I met there. Southwestern Christian College changed my life forever. I will always be in your debt and to SwCC. Brother Hunt, I know that you sacrificed so much working at SwCC in order to help so many African American young people to obtain a good Christian Education. I know it wasn’t easy but I am so thankful that you never gave up. You gave so much of yourself to SwCC and I appreciate everything that you did. As SwCC continues to live on because of your giving and your love for the college, your work and love for SwCC lives on in everyone who attended SwCC while you were their professor. Someone has said, “Never underestimate the power of giving. It shines like a beacon throughout humanity. It cuts through the oceans that divide us and brightens the lives of all it touches. One of life’s greatest laws is that you cannot hold a torch to light another’s path… without brightening your own.” Brother Hunt, your life’s work that you gave to SwCC will always shine forever. I will never forget you. May God continue to bless you. In Christ, Aaron Sayles SwCC 1970

Bro. Hunt was my biology professor at Southwestern Christian College. I loved him dearly. I became his teaching assistant in my sophomore year. Bro. Hunt was kind, humble, patient and had a good sense of humor. He knew my goal was to become a pediatrician, and he encouraged me all the way. I’m a pediatrician now, and I frequently reflect on fond memories of Bro. Hunt. I love and respect him dearly. I’m so sad he’s left us and am thankful he was a major part of my life.
