Lieutenant Governor Rachel Hunt on the Passing of Former Governor Jim Hunt
It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my beloved daddy and hero, former Governor Jim Hunt. He devoted his life to serving the people of North Carolina, guided by a belief that public service should expand opportunity, strengthen communities, and always put people first. His leadership and compassion left a lasting impact on the lives of countless North Carolinians.
To our family, he was a loving husband, dad, and granddad whose kindness and steady hand shaped our lives in immeasurable ways. We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of love and support as we mourn and celebrate his extraordinary life.
Information about memorial arrangements will be shared in the coming days.
