Gregory Reed Hunter Sr.

Obituary for Minister Gregory R. Hunter Gregory Reed Hunter, Sr. was called home to rest on September 5, 2021. Gregory was born to the late William and Yvonne Hunter, both New York natives, on November 4, 1948 in the Bronx. He received his elementary and secondary education through the New York Public School system, and graduated from Evander Childs High School in 1967. After working a short time as a clerk for the City of New York, Gregory enlisted into the United States Air Force, serving the nation honorably. While serving in the United States Air Force, Gregory met and married Camilla, of Suffolk, VA. The couple remained in New York and eventually settled on Long Island to raise their family. God blessed Greg and Camilla with six daughters and five sons; Brandy; Alexis (Derrick); Gregory, Jr.; Richard; Ernest (Laequinla); Garrison; Rachel; Rebecca (Dwayne); Abigail (Kenny); Naomi (Clinton); and Andrew. Gregory accepted Christ in Mt. Pleasant Pentecostal Faith Church of the Bronx, NY in October 1977, and served under the leadership of Elders Emanuel and Lillian Pope. Minister Hunter frequently accepted speaking engagements where he often operated under a strong prophetic anointing. He was well known for his high-energy testimonials attesting to the goodness of the Lord, and his accounts of how God had healed him of various ailments and injuries. Minister Hunter relocated to Georgia in 2005, and was a part of Salvation and Deliverance Church, Atlanta under the leadership of Bishop D. A. Williams and Co-Pastor Dr. Alexis Williams. He served in a multitude of capacities, including teacher, church van driver, musician, janitor, chauffeur, carpenter, painter, auto mechanic, handyman, and much more. His gifts and talents were many and he willingly and freely assisted wherever he saw a need. While Minister Hunter is undoubtedly shouting and thanking Jesus with great joy right now for, “healing my elbow, my heel, and my knee…”, he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him down here. Farewell, Minister Hunter. He leaves to cherish his memory and continue his legacy, his wife and eleven children, eighteen grandchildren, nieces and nephews, his church family, and a host of loved ones, and friends.
