On March 6, 2025, the world lost a charismatic legend, Hunter D. Peaslee Sr. Born on June 22, 1963 in Augusta, to Forest and Delia (Smith) Peaslee, Hunter embraced life with a charm and a wit that was truly larger than life. Known to his friends and family as “The man, the myth, the legend,” Hunter was a man who was famously late to family gatherings, not just because he was an ardent tinkerer, but because he was always busy making everyone smile. His love for his family, animals, and storytelling was only matched by his knack for turning the tables on you over a coin toss lunch bet, where, “Heads, I win, tails, you lose” became his classic catchphrase.
