Dwain Hunkins

Willis Dwain "Bubba" Hunkins passed away on May 18, 2019 peacefully at his home on his 89th birthday from pulmonary fibrosis. Dwain was born in Nebraska and very proud of it. He was in the Air Force from 1948 to 1952 and stationed in Miami, FL. He attended Clemson University and Illinois State University, majoring in History and Economics. Dwain's passion was to become a teacher after school, but instead he followed his family down to Florida. This is where Dwain got into the insurance business and met his wife of 53 years, Rebecca Magee Hunkins. After retiring, Dwain sought part time work as support staff for Fred Hunter Funeral Home. He always said that Fred Hunter's really put a shine on his Golden Years and he made some great friends. Dwain is survived by his wife and his 6 children; Dal Hunkins, Douglas Hunkins, David Hunkins, Richard Hart, Kathleen Hart and Karen Hart Geralds; 9 grandchildren; Leigh Anne Hart, Christopher DiPasquale, Kerry Minio, Eleanor Norena, Lori Sauter, Jenny Hunkins, Chad Hunkins, Sean Hunkins and Nickolas Hunkins; 7 great-grandchildren; Jonathan DiPasquale, Danielle DiPasquale, Andres Norena, Alexis Minio, Tyler Minio, Luke Sauter and Claire Sauter.
