Obituary: Troy Donn Hunt

Troy Don Hunt

PORTLAND – Troy Donn Hunt, 55, of Cumberland Foreside, passed away unexpectedly from complications of diabetes on Friday, September 13, 2024. He was born on January 17, 1969, in Lewiston to Donald and Sylvia (Bell) Hunt.

Troy attended Yarmouth High School, where he was a star athlete in both soccer and tennis. He graduated in June of 1987. Troy was always interested in how things worked…especially when it came to cars, computers, and electronics. He worked for many years with his late father, Don, in auto salvage and repair at Columbia Auto Parts in South Carolina. He later worked for LKQ (a Ford Motor Company) while living in Maine.

His hobbies included outdoor activities (of any kind), working on cars, fixing “things”, listening to music, and enjoying good food. In his youth, he was known for his love of the band U2 when it came to music (not surprising, as he was always very proud of his Irish heritage). Although Troy enjoyed/cooked food from all over the world, he was particularly fond of Japanese cuisine (which he fell in love with while living in Seattle) and authentic Mexican cuisine (from his time in Southern California).

Those who knew Troy best will remember him as highly intelligent, a little mischievous, naturally curious, and always kind to those he cared about.

He was preceded in death by his beloved father Donald W. Hunt, his uncle Lester Bell and all of his grandparents.

He leaves behind his loving mother Sylvia Hunt of Cumberland Foreside, his brother Dennis and his wife Lorraine of Yarmouth, and his niece and nephew Sierra and Trevor Hunt (with whom he had a very special bond) to cherish his memory.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by the Chandler Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 45 Main St., South Paris. Online condolences may be sent to the family at http://www.chandlerfunerals.com.
