About Reggie Hunt

 William Reginald Hunt, Jr. was born on October 26, 1980 in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Throughout his young life, he gave love and value to his family and community. He was an active member of the New Zion Missionary Baptist Church. He was a Cub Scout. He played Elm Street Little baseball. He received honorary awards in the Nassau County Dare Program under the direction of Tommy Seagraves, who today is Sheriff of Nassau County. Reggie participated in the Neighborhood Youth Crime Prevention Program. 

 For six years, he was a Little Brother in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Cyril Traeye was his Big Brother. Reggie’s forte came when he began to play football, his most beloved sport. He was a lineman on the FBHS varsity football team. He hoped one day to play in college and “put Fernandina on the map”. 

 He was going to come back home and give back to his community. Reggie was electrocuted in a tragic gardening accident on August 10, 1996. He was planning to play in the Golf Marathon fundraiser later that month. The 1996 event was declared by Executive Director Chip Wood to be the First Annual Reggie Hunt Memorial Golf Marathon to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters  of Nassau County. Everyone fortunate enough to have known Reggie has been left with something positive in his or her hearts.
