Charles S. Hunt
August 19, 1944 - January 7, 2022
Hunt, Charles S., January 7, 2022 age 77 of Canton. Beloved husband of Janie for 53 years. Loving father of Alan (Rebecca) Hunt, and Stephanie Hunt. Proud grandfather of Teddy, Emily, Lia, Josie, and Owen. Dear brother of Josephine, Linda, Paulette, and John. Charles served in the U.S. Air Force/Air National Guard for 24 years including one year of flying combat operations in Vietnam. After leaving full time military service Charles worked as a Design/Development Engineer with Ford Motor Company for 20 years. Charles had a love of all things Automotive and Aeronautical. It did not matter if he was going Mach 2 in an F4 Phantom fighter jet or just cruising the back roads in his Lotus or Mustang he had a true need for speed. Charles was instrumental in the design of the Ford Mustangs from the mid 80’s and later Panther Platforms which included the Crown Victoria Police interceptors and other similar Lincoln-Mercury products. He was particularly proud of his final Ford project the Mercury Marauder. Endlessly tinkering in the garage, basement and around the house. Charles was always willing to turn a wrench, whether building an airplane or fixing a car. He had a true do it yourself persona. Charles’ sharp and thoughtful approach to everything he did will be missed. Private Cremation Services were arranged by the Vermeulen-Sajewski Funeral Home, 46401 Ann Arbor Rd. W., Plymouth. Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude PL, Memphis, TN 38105-9959. To share a memory, please use the Share a Memory tab on this web page.
