Ed Hunt was the most sincere and warmest person that I have
ever worked with in the awards industry. His honesty, charm and wit
will surely be missed. My love and condolences to his family and
co-workers.

Ed was one of the first vendors that extended his hand in helping me
get started in the trophy business. Developed a great friendship around
the mid 80's and always enjoyed seeing him at trade shows and stopping
by the Atlanta warehouse before he moved to TN. My thoughts and prayers
are for hiis family
Rest in peace my friend.

I have know Mr. Hunt Since I was in High School many many years ago. My Dad, Glen Jackson and him go way back as pioneers of the trophy business. Many Trophy guys have gone on now but their memory will last forever. I send out my thoughts and prayers to his family in this time. Just remember these great men will be in Haven no doubt trying to sell trophy parts. LOL Take care
I was sad to hear of the passing of Ed Hunt. He was an awesome person as well as an Icon in the Awards and Recognition industry. I've always enjoyed being around Ed, especially working with him when he was the president of the ARA. My prayers go out for Nancy and his family.
My business partner and I met Ed at a trade show almost 10 years ago, and we were instantly drawn to him because of his love for his family and his faith in God. We didn't spend a lot of time talking about business, but we sure did hear a lot about his faith and his family. He was so proud of his family and grandkids, and he would even email me over the years some of their accomplishments and pictures of them. Ed's passing reminds me that faith and family are really the only two things that matter in life, and Ed left that legacy for sure. Our condolences to all of you as you celebrate the life of an amazing man! Going to the awards show and not getting to se Ed will never be the same for the 2 ladies from Kansas.

I’ve known Ed for 26 years. Working with him, he gave me the confidence and freedom to be successful. Whenever I was in town Ed and Nancy took time out of their busy schedule to entertain me. Ed was passionate about sports, cars and his grandkids. He talked a lot about football and told me his high school football coach nicknamed him “pineapple”. Heaven is getting another Bama fan. RIP Ed. Cliff smith
