Hunter, Robert's Obituary
Robert Hunter Jr., father, grandfather, beloved brother, and uncle, passed away peacefully in his
sleep on August 31, 2025.
In his early twenties, Robert was an athlete who played baseball with his childhood friend, Joe
Morgan, before his career took off. Although he did not pursue his baseball career, he remained a
consummate jogger and dedicated himself to staying in shape while keeping his hopes and
dreams of one day becoming an artist. Robert had taken the steps to obtain his passport to travel
to Paris with his daughter to paint in the famous Montmartre Square, renowned for its artists.
Cremation will take place on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at the Chapel of the Chimes funeral
home in Oakland, CA. His ashes will be placed in a special urn chosen with love by his daughter,
his loving brother and last living sibling, and his loyal nephew. A placement service will be
announced at a later date.
He leaves behind a plethora of friends who will miss his benevolence, kindness, resilience, and
wisdom—qualities that will live on in the hearts of his daughter, grandchildren, brother, nieces
and nephews, and all who were blessed to know him. He will be deeply missed.
