He was born August 6th, in Scott AFB Hospital to SSGT Chester Hurlburt and Ida Mae Hurlburt. He graduated high school at John Jay HS in San Antonio, Tx. He was married, had one daughter, and later divorced. He was the manager of C7C Custom Marine, owned by his father. He liked to fish. At one time, he belonged to 3 local bass clubs. He fished the Bassmasters, FLW, and Bass Champs Circuits. His largest bass was 11.78 lbs.
As a military brat, he got to see a lot of the world. He really liked Turkey and Germany. His loves besides fishing were playing cards, Nintendo, and his cats- especially the one named Morris. His real love was working on boats and motors from 1 HP to 300 HP. He could fix them all; it was a natural thing with him.
He is survived by his father Chester L. Hurlburt, Sr. of San Angelo, Tx., daughter Holly Hurlburt, mother Dianna John of Logansport, IN., aunts Pat Branson of Winamac, In., Betty Ward of Bainbridge, Ga., as well as numerous cousins and nieces in Indiana and Georgia.
A special thanks to everyone that knew him.
