James (Jim) Ray Hunt

James (Jim) Ray Hunt, age 69 of Cheney, passed away Jan. 31, 2015, in Spokane, Wash.

Jim was born Sept. 14, 1945, in Newport News, Va. He married Janet Mayfield in 1971, in Newport News and they moved to the Cheney area in 1972, where he worked in retail until retiring in 2004. His hobbies included gardening, model airplanes, cars and trains and playing horseshoes.

He is survived by his wife Janet K. Hunt; daughters, Tonya M. Hunt, Tracy R. (Roy) Bridgens, Nicole G. (David) Droll, and Abby K. (Vincent) Casey; brother, Alan G. Hunt; grandchildren Aaron West, Kelsey and Justin Young, Jordyn and Paige Bridgens, Jillian Droll, Camilla and Deacon James Casey; and great-grandson Joshua Castillo.

He is preceded in death by his father, Nick Hunt, mother, Grace (Donithan) Hunt; and brother, Gary L. Hunt.

Along with all the wonders he is experiencing, we imagine he is delighting in personal performances by Elvis Presley, himself, enjoying more Bing cherries, M&M's and corn on the cob.

A private service is planned.
