Herbert Walter Hunt, 84, of Denver, Indiana, passed away at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at his residence.
Born November 14, 1940, in Winamac, Indiana, he was the son of Herbert Wayne and Hazel Lucille (Yergin) Hunt. On May 23, 1960, in Buffalo, Indiana, he was married to Carolyn Sue Alkire, and she survives.
Herb was a 1958 graduate of Buffalo High School and went on to attend barber school in Indianapolis.

For many years, he had a stellar record coaching the Denver Sox in the Denver Youth Leage.
