Gardner-Webb Community Remembers Contributions and Service of Dr. Jack Hunt Dentist, Farmer, Entrepreneur and Statesman Dedicated His Life in Ser vice to Others BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Dr. John Jackson "Jack" Hunt, who once reminded all elected offi cials that service is not about the "Love of Power" but the "Pow- er of Love," passed away May 27, 2020. The public servant, dedicated supporter of Gardner-Webb Uni- versity and namesake for the Hunt School of Nursing is being remembered and celebrated by the GWU campus and community. "The Gardner-Webb community mourns the pass- ing of Dr. Jack Hunt, but we join with many others across the state in celebrating a life so well lived," shared GWU President Dr. William M. Downs. "Dr. Hunt was a true servant-leader, and his reputation for bringing people together—whether in politics or in other facets of his impressive career—means he stands among the greatest of North Carolinians. I feel privileged to have met and visited with Dr. Hunt at his Lattimore home and to see him surrounded there by a loving family. With his wife, Ruby, Jack Hunt leaves a lasting legacy at GWU's Hunt School of Nursing, and his impact will be felt throughout Cleveland County and beyond for years to come." Hunt, 97, was recently presented the title of trustee emeritus by the GWU Board of Trustees in recogni- tion for his outstanding service to GWU and contribu- tions to the community. A native of Lattimore, N.C., Hunt excelled at many careers in his lifetime—as a dentist, a farmer, an entrepreneur and a statesman. Hunt graduated from Lattimore High School in 1939, Wake Forest College in 1943 and earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1946. A veteran of World War II and the Korean War, Hunt earned the rank of Major in the U.S. Army. For 22 years, he served as an elected representative in the North Carolina General Assembly. He was the longest-running Chairman of the House Rules com- mittee and also served as Speaker Pro-Tempore. Hunt and Ruby fi nancially supported many com- munity projects for institutions including Gardner- Webb, Cleveland Community College, the Ruby Hunt YMCA, and the Earl Scruggs Center. In 2012, Hunt was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Let- ters by the Gardner-Webb Board of Trustees. Among his most notable accomplishments as a representative, Hunt helped author legislation that secured state fi nancial support for nursing students in North Carolina at a time when North Carolina had a shortage of nurses. This legislation was a catalyst for the growth of nursing education at Gardner-Webb and other institutions around the state. In July 2014, Hunt and Ruby presented a generous gift to the Uni- versity to establish the Hunt School of Nursing. Dr. Tracy Arnold, the school's dean and a four-time nursing alumna, is grateful for Hunt's dedication to the faculty and students. "Dr. Hunt's commitment to pro- viding opportunities for nurses to continue their edu- cation in North Carolina and his support of the Hunt School of Nursing are a testament to his unwavering support of the nursing profession," she observed. "Dr. Hunt leaves an incredible legacy in the Hunt School of Nursing in which he invested not only in our stu- dents, but in our faculty as well. His contributions to the Hunt School of Nursing were instrumental in ex- panding our experiential lab experiences. He always carried an open-door policy and many of our faculty were blessed to join him for lunch, in his home, to dis- cuss current trends in nursing and nursing education. The Hunt School of Nursing is forever grateful to the signifi cant contributions Dr. Hunt and his family have made in support of nurses and nursing education." In addition to providing program enhancements and renovated nursing facilities, the Hunts' donation es- tablished the Hunt Sisters Nursing Scholars Fund. "We've always had a passion for helping nurses and have a deep, deep appreciation for their call and their purpose," Mr. Hunt shared at the time of the dona- tion. "Nursing is a calling. I don't believe you can be a caring nurse without that call. I am happy to see that Gardner-Webb is supplying a place for those to meet that calling." Hunt has been recognized many times for his service, including Emeritus Director of the NC Bio- technology Center and a member of the Cleveland County Cattlemen Hall of Fame. He was a Baptist, Mason, Shriner, and served on a variety of local and state boards and committees. Together, he and Ruby were awarded North Carolina's Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Woody Fish, GWU vice president of Advancement and External Affairs described Hunt's character. "He never failed to answer the call of service wher- ever it took him," Fish refl ected. "From the military, to the healthcare community, to the state govern- ment, to numerous local non-profi ts—Dr. Jack Hunt was always a champion for giving of ones' self for the betterment of others. He was a shining example of Gardner-Webb's motto. His life-giving work for hu- manity was an extension of his commitment to God." Hunt and Ruby were married 71 years, when she passed away on May 27, 2017. A private family ser- vice is planned and a celebration of life ice cream party will be planned for a later time. The family requested memorials to GWU Hunt School of Nursing Scholarship, P.O. Box 997, Boiling Springs, NC 28017 or Ruby C. Hunt YMCA, P. O. Box 2272, Shelby, NC 28151 or to the charity of donor's choice. Submitted by Jackie Bridges Dr. Hunt pictured, was presented with the title of trustee emeriturs.
