About Reggie Hunt
William Reginald Hunt, Jr. was born on October 26,1980 in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
He was a participant in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast program for six years as the Little Brother of Cyril Traeye.
Throughout his young life, Reggie gave love and value to his family and community. He was an active member of the New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Cub Scouts, and played baseball at Elm Street Little League. Reggie participated in the Neighborhood Youth Crime Prevention Program and received honorary awards in the Nassau County DARE Program under the direction of Tommy Seagraves, Sheriff of Nassau County.
Reggie found his true calling when he began playing his most beloved sport, football. He was a lineman on the Fernandina Beach High School varsity football team and hoped to one day play in college and “put Fernandina on the map.” He planned on returning home after his football career to give back to his community.
Reggie was tragically killed in a gardening accident on August 10, 1996. Everyone fortunate enough to have known him has been left with a positive imprint in his or her heart. He was planning to play in a Golf Marathon fundraiser later that month, so in order to honor this remarkable young man, Executive Director Chip Wood began First Annual Reggie Hunt Memorial Golf Classic to benefit the children in Nassau County who want or need a mentor.
