COMMENTARY>>TEAM LITTLE ROCK SAYS GOODBYE TO SERGEANT HUNT

Team Little Rock said goodbye to one of its own Thursday when Staff Sgt. Myron Hunt, 19th Logistics Readiness Squadron, was memorialized at a funeral at the base chapel here.

“Myron’s loss is a reminder to us of how precious life is,” said Lt. Col. John Winkler, 19th LRS commander. “Despite the loss of one of our finest Airmen, it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to tell someone you love them, to give someone you love a hug or to ask a friend or co-worker how they’re doing.

“I say this for two reasons,” the commander said. “First, you should never pass up an opportunity to tell or show someone you care.

Second, if you knew Myron or had the honor to work with him, you would know that he led this way, and this is what Myron would want us to do.”

Sergeant Hunt passed away at his home on Saturday. He is survived by his wife, Staff Sgt. Amber Hunt, 19th Comptroller Squadron, and his daughter, Madison.
