He was born August 22, 1957 to William Lawrence and Patricia Jean Breurton Poulter in Ogden, Utah. Jon Poulter Jon married Marie Kondrick May 16, 1987. He was a Systems David Keith Hunt November 7, 1929 ~ April 13, 2022 On April 13,2022, that jack of all trades but master of some, that master of the written letter, but enemy of the computer, David Hunt that lover of a great discussion, but staunchly apathetic to social media (computer issues aside), that hater of all things mechanical and a repairman of nothing, yet the master of “I know a guy,” David Keith Hunt died peacefully in his sleep at the capable age of 92. During his final years, he carried on a disgust/hate relationship with his failing body. Spinal Stenosis ravaged his lower body, and his heart developed a Huck Finn attitude, working only as hard and as long as it wanted. Keith was born, raised, and lived in the city that he loved: Ogden Utah. He lived in Ogden for 90 of his 92 years and was both its biggest critic and greatest fan. By the time he retired he was able to both criticize and compliment Ogden in the same sentence. He was an unparalleled Ogden civic leader. During his professional career, he was President of the United Way of Ogden, the Ogden Exchange Club, the Ogden Logistic at DDO, the Ogden Advertising Club, the Weber Club, the Weber State Wildcat Club, and was Director of the Weber State Foundation. He managed the Ogden Chamber of Commerce for twelve years and was the director of a special two-year project to improve commerce in Ogden called “Mission 2000.” Ogden City and the Weber State Wildcats have lost one of their greatest fans, most opinionated critics, yet constant supporter. When not providing civic service, Keith made a living at various advertising agencies before becoming a vice-president of marketing at Commercial Security Bank (Key Bank). After retiring, he continued to work as a financial advisor and a real estate agent. Keith was born in 1929, the middle child of three to James Norman Hunt and Rose Alberta McFarland. He was never the greatest or the worst behaved child nor the best or worst in school. He described it as always being happily unnoticed and unseen if he needed to break a rule or two. He called it “middle child syndrome” and always had a connection as such to his daughter Laurie and his granddaughters Administrator for Chromalox for 45 years. He enjoyed electronics, astronomy, and 3-D printing. Jon is survived by his wife Marie, son Austin (Lisa) Poulter, granddaughter Lillian Poulter, siblings James (Jackie) Poulter, Kimberly (Michael) Hunnel, KC (Donna) Poulter, and Clay Poulter. He is preceded in death by his parents. Graveside services were held Saturday, April 16, 2022 at the Huntsville Cemetery, 5600 E. 100 S., Huntsville, Utah.

He is survived by his wife, Joan, and their family and his sister, LyleAnne Tenney. He was preceded in death by his brother Norman Glen Hunt. Education was critically important to Keith. He attended public schools in Ogden and Weber Junior College before graduating from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He made it through school by selling his blood to each of the four local hospitals and covering the criminal night beat at the jail for the Deseret News. When it came time for his three children to attend college, he and Joan paid all the tuitions. Keith was fiercely proud of his service in the United States Coast Guard. He attended Officer Candidate School in Connecticut before he deployed. He served on the U.S.S. Wachusett, a long-range search and rescue ship in the Pacific Ocean where he became a navigator. Keith ultimately served two years active duty and 18 years reserve duty. He was instrumental in starting the Coast Guard reserves for the State of Utah before retiring as a U.S. Coast Guard Commander.
