David T. Hunn, age 82, passed away peacefully on June 3rd, 2026, at his home in Brunswick, NY. David was born January 20th, 1944, to Dr. David Edward and Janet Lohnes Walker Hunn. He was the 4th generation on his mother’s side to live in Brunswick.

He was raised in Troy, attended Troy Schools, Trinity Pawling School, and Williston Academy, and graduated from Hamilton College in 1967. He served in the Navy as a photojournalist, producing photo stories used worldwide. David also used his photo skills as an official sports car photographer for Lime Rock Race Track, the 12 Hours of Sebring (FL), and many other sports car tracks. His scenic photographs of Nantucket appeared in national calendars, including Cape Cod Life.

Following military service, he joined General Electric’s Power Systems as a marketing communications project manager, writing and producing for print, video, speech support, and trade shows. He particularly enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S. for location photos and trade shows. In 1999, he moved to the NYS Department of Corrections, Corcraft, to produce marketing materials, visiting most maximum security correctional facilities. In 2005, he worked directly for the Commissioner and the Executive Deputy Commissioner as project manager for the Department’s first exhibit building at the NYS Fair.

He was active in Troy community affairs, having served on the Boards of Oakwood Cemetery (serving as President for several years), Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway, and Country Club of Troy. He was a long-time parishioner of St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he served on the Vestry and was Junior and Senior Warden. He led the church property committee for over twenty years, overseeing capital and historical restoration projects as well as repairs and maintenance.

He was known for his sharp sense of humor, which helped him in difficult times, including cancer surgery, which left him with a laryngectomy in 2005. His pride, joy, and love were for his family. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Florence (Sonie) Urban Hunn, and sons David (Lauren), Henry (Shannon), and his four grandchildren, Sadie, Violet, Emersen, and Henry, two siblings, Martha Hunn Wilmot (Don) of Granby, CT, and Robert Hunn (Ginny) of South Portland, ME.
