Captain Jason Edward Hunt, United States Army, went home to be with the Lord on May 29, 2026, in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the age of 29.
Jason was born September 25, 1996, in Tampa, Florida, and always called Bentonville, Arkansas, home. A swimmer and competitive triathlete, he carried a steady, understated drive into the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated with the Class of 2019 and commissioned as an officer in the United States Army.
Jason became an Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer — one of the soldiers who walk toward the danger everyone else is trained to walk away from, clearing the path so others can make it home. He served his country with everything he had and was recognized by the Ordnance Corps with the Order of Samuel Sharpe.
Those who knew Jason knew three things about him. He was a quiet competitor — never one to make life a contest, but the dark horse who liked being underestimated and then showing what he could do. He was caring — fiercely loyal to the people he loved, the friend who showed up when it counted. And he had an easy, quick humor that could lighten the heaviest room. Above all, he loved the Lord, his family, and his country.
Jason was preceded in death by his mother, Lorraine Hunt. He is survived by his father, Paul Ernest Hunt; his brother, Paul Austin Hunt; and a wide circle of family, friends, and fellow soldiers who will carry his memory forward.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Jesus, Matthew 11:28
For every Captain Jason Hunt bracelet sold, proceeds will be donated to the EOD Warrior Foundation, which comes alongside the families of fallen and wounded Explosive Ordnance Disposal warriors.
