Joe B. Hunt
Published in San Angelo Standard-Times October 6, 2013
SAN ANGELO — Joe B. Hunt, former sheriff of Tom Green County, passed away at his
ranch on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013.
His great-niece, Jordyn Nicole Elkins, was born Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013. As Jordyn's
mother, Amber Hunt Elkins, posted on her Facebook site, "God brought in an angel and
took another home."
In spite of the harsh realities he faced daily in law enforcement, Joe was always smiling,
positive and he exhibited the true joy of the Lord in his
everyday walk. Only the Lord knows how many people
he helped and ministered to during his life. His
longtime friend and co-worker Bill Fiveash said, "Joe
always treated everyone with respect, even the person
that did the most despicable act imaginable. Even the
inmates respected Sheriff Hunt. He would go over (to
the jail) and go to church with them."
Joe was born Nov. 9, 1944, in Kermit, Texas, to John
C. and Willie Mae (Williams) Hunt. With the
exception of the family living in Midland for one year
in the early 1950's, he lived in San Angelo until he left
for service in the Texas National Guard.
He attended public schools in San Angelo, graduating from Central High School in May
1963. He started college at San Angelo College in Fall 1963. He left college to join the
National Guard in January 1964.
In March 1965, Joe began working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on a
fish hatchery in Devine, Texas. He applied to the Texas National Guard Officer
Candidate School and in June 1966, was accepted to start the OCS Academy Class
Number 10.
Joe's law enforcement career began on Feb. 14, 1967, when he entered the DPS Law
Enforcement Academy in Austin graduating in June 1967. Their first son, Mark, was
born in 1968, while Joe was a driver's license patrolman in San Antonio. In 1970, their
second son, Bryan, was born while Joe was stationed in Odessa where he was a Texas
highway patrolman.
After being promoted to the Texas Rangers in July 1977, Joe and Linda moved to
Lubbock where he was stationed until being transferred back to San Angelo in October
1993. Joe retired from the Texas Rangers in 1998.
After his retirement, he was asked to run for Tom Green County Sheriff and won his first
election in November 2000. In May 2004, Joe suffered a massive heart attack and was
actually pronounced dead two different times but recovered to go on and be elected for a
second term in November. He was then elected to a third term in 2008, but the heart
attack had taken it's toll.
In March 2011, he stated, "For the past year, I have been having health issues as the
result of the heart attack I suffered in 2004. Those issues no longer allow me to perform
my job in the manner I demand of myself. It is time for me to step aside and the sheriff's
department to move forward." He retired on March 31.
Joe, being known as a great story teller, had been asked by many to write a book which
he did. The book entitled "Joe B. Hunt, Texas Ranger, Campfire Tales," was just recently
finished, printed and published. He wanted the proceeds from the sale of this book to go
to the Water for All International Ministry. This ministry helps residents of South
America and Africa drill fresh water wells in their villages. These wells help reduce the
waterborne illnesses and death among residents caused by unsanitary water sources.
The family requests memorials be made in Joe's name to the Water for All International
Ministry, c/o Southland Baptist Church, 4300 Meadow Creek Trail, San Angelo, TX
76904.
Joe and Linda had bought a ranch in Eldorado and moved there after his retirement. He
loved ranching, hunting, fishing, the outdoors in general and looked forward to trips to
Colorado and spending time with good friends like Glyn Jameson. Joe's family was the
most important thing in his life and the traditional Hunt family Thanksgivings and
Christmases were very special to him.
Joe was a former member of Glen Meadows Baptist Church and had recently moved his
membership to Christoval Baptist Church.
Joe was preceded in death by his father and mother, John C. and Willie Mae Hunt; his
mother-in-law and father-in-law, Annie and Emil Goetz; and his sister-in-law, Linda Sue
Smith Hunt. Survivors are his wife of 48 years, Linda; son Mark and wife Jamilyn, their
daughters, Taylor and Rylie; son Bryan and his daughter, Brittny; his sister, Carolyn and

nephews, cousins; one aunt, Mabel Boyd of Azle; and numerous very, very special
friends. Loved and remembered by the many classmates of the Class of 1963, Joe will

DAN CURTIS PETTY
Publication Date: October 12, 2007 (San Angelo Standard-Times)
SAN ANGELO — Dan Curtis Petty was born on Easter Sunday,
April 1, 1945, to Iva Teague and A.C. Petty in Sweetwater, Texas.
He died suddenly at his home in Paint Rock on Tuesday evening.
Dan graduated from Central High School in 1964 and joined the
U.S. Navy, serving most of his time off the shore of Vietnam. In
1968, Dan married Aubrey Ann Knight. He owned and operated
Double D Muffler for 25 years. Dan and Aubrey lived in San Angelo
and Veribest before moving to Paint Rock 17 years ago, where they
finished raising their children,
Ashley, Collin and Courtney D’Ann. While Ashley and Courtney
were in grade school at Veribest and later junior high and high school in Paint Rock, Dan
never missed one of their school activities or sports events. Everyone knew Dan hated
football — that was, until Ashley played, and suddenly Dan was a six-man expert. In
their younger days, Dan and Aubrey loved drag racing. They spent many Saturday nights
and Sunday afternoons at the Wall Drag Strip.
When Ashley and Courtney were born, the race cars turned to a motor home, and the
family spent their time camping, deer hunting and fishing. They shared great times at
Lake Brownwood with Dan’s brother and family, Alton, Helen, Penny and Cody. After
Ashley and Courtney left home, Dan decided he wanted to play farmer. He truly enjoyed
farm sales and dealing farm equipment. He could not wait to retire so he could teach his
only granddaughter, Collyn, to drive his tractors. He and neighbor Sidney Allen had even
planned the seat they would build for her to ride in. Dan was preceded in death by parents
Iva and A.C. Petty; in-laws Darky and Anna Knight; and a brother, Clarence Petty.
Dan is survived by wife Aubrey; children Ashley and wife Melissa Petty of San Angelo,
and Courtney and husband Shane Daniels of Veribest; the apple of her Paw paw’s eye,
granddaughter Collyn Paige Daniels; brothers Alton and wife Helen of Lake Brownwood,
James and wife Carolyn of Red Oak, and Charles and wife Joyce of Caldwell; special

family moved to San Angelo as a transfer from Jim’s job with Armour
and Company. Until the family could move into their new home, all five
and their cat lived at the Cactus Hotel.
Donna met the “Elvis” of her life and began the family that would later
become the Bud Pavliceks off Southland Boulevard.
Bud owned Pavlicek Construction Company and worked outside,
enjoying the elements of West Texas.
In the early years of their 45-year marriage, Donna was wife and
mother, and as the girls started school, so did she. She received a master’s degree from Angelo
State University. She began her teaching career at Lincoln Junior High School in 1971 and later
at Lee Junior High School.
She was very dedicated to her kids. In 1979, she began a new chapter in her life as a programmer
for GTE Data Services. She worked for GTE and Verizon before retiring as a manager in 2003. T
he number one love of Donna’s life was her family. She enjoyed cooking, camping, hunting and
fishing.
Donna lost her struggle with lung disease on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 16, 2007.
The previous evening, the entire family gathered and everyone was able to enjoy what came to be
their last visit with Nannie. Donna’s departure will leave thoughts and memories for her husband,
Eugene “Bud” Pavlicek Jr.; daughter Tammy McCarty, husband Norris and sons Mitch and Matt;
and look-alike daughter Jacque Wells and husband Gary; and grandson Gary Lane Wells Jr. and
wife Hanna. She is also survived by two sisters, Sandy Anderson and Patricia Taylor.
Donna’s wishes were to have donations made to the SPCA so that “someone can take care of the
little critters.”
A celebration of Donna’s life will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, at St. Luke United Methodist
Church, with graveside service following in Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.
The family would like to thank Hospice of San Angelo and her caregivers, Monica, Jessica,
Teresa, Lorraine and Lorrie. Special thanks go to Dr. Ty Hughston and the entire 4 North staff at
Shannon Hospital. Also, much gratitude to Mike Boyd and the Air-Med One staff, Laurie and
Sue-Ann for getting her home last November.
