Roger Charles Hunter
(June 3, 1950 — December 20, 2024)
Having the gift of being able to repair or build just about anything, Roger worked in the Facilities Department of Mountain Brook City Schools for thirty-eight years. He and Donna served as foster parents for more than fifty children in the Alabama Foster Care System, eventually adopting Matthew and Crystin. He was also interested in community affairs and served as mayor of his community at Highland Lake, Alabama.
Roger was a benevolent, generous, and selfless man, always helping someone. He was a nature enthusiast and loved the sport of hunting and fishing. He loved making people smile and always had family and friends laughing at social gatherings. He will be so missed by family and friends alike. There will never be another one like Roger.
