Glen Rayburn Hunter, 87, of Crawley, WV, passed away on July 23, 2025, surrounded by family. He was born Mar. 16, 1938, to Ray and Mildred Hunter.
Glen was a hard working man. He served in the U.S. Air Force and National Guard. He was a retired logger, who enjoyed working with his dad, brothers and sons. He was one of the original junkyard pickers and he had a greater appreciation for older antiques than most people have of new things.
He is preceded in death by his wife Dorothy “Sizemore” Hunter, daughters Terrie Grimmett and Donna Hunter; parents Ray and Mildred Hunter; brothers Gilmer, Gary, Granville, Gaynel, Gerald and Gene Hunter; sister Garnet Hunter, and daughter-in-law Linda “Charlette” Hunter.

Also left are granddaughters Erica (Ryan) Whitt, April (Travis) Herndon, Ashley (Daniel) Butler, Mandy (Tom) Cannon, LaTasha (Brandon) Owens, Stephanie (Jared) Worley, Brittany (Jeremy) Radford, Amy (Will) Cantley, and Heather (Ryan) Bostic; grandson John Cantley; great grandchildren Lindsey and Sara Whitt, Abby (Jared) Seals, Julia (Kyle) Holliday, Lucas Herndon, Ben and Melanie Butler, Cameron (Grace) Cannon, Dana Cannon, Bryson, Abraham and Charleigh Owens, Cash and Charlee Worley, Kendal, Kadence and Paxton Radford, Jaylee Cantley and great-great grandson Jameson Cannon. Also surviving are sisters Gwenda (Doug) Heaster, Gala Sheppard, Gilda Cary and Galena Knapp and many nieces and nephews.
