Sad day in Mauldin...... Gabe Hunter

Posted by Tony Lindsey on September 30, 2014, 9:53 am

It is with deep regret that I announce the passing of the founder of the Maulding BBQ Cook-Off and one of our Senior Judges, GABE HUNTER. Gabe was the one of the kindest, gentlest, and a true friend to all that knew him. Gabe was truly a "Gentle Giant"! In addition to being a Senior SCBA Judge, Gabe was a City Councilman for the City of Mauldin, SC.
Gabe worked relentlessly on the Mauldin BBQ Festival committee which meets monthly and even weekly the last few months before the event. Gabe was active this last weekend at the BBQ Cook-Off and Family Fun Festival making sure everything was running smoothly. Prayers for his wife, Beverly, and his family are appreciated. I for one, am in shock and cannot believe I have lost this dear friend way too soon.
Everyone tell those around you that you love them and give all of them a special {{HUG}}.

I too am truly saddened to hear this. As has been stated Gabe was a true Southern Gentleman. I am very glad that I had an opportunity to chat with him on Friday and Saturday. He will be missed for a long time by a lot of people.

My heart is heavy, with the passing of my sweet friend. I find it so hard to believe, as I recall the conversations in particular that we shared, at the Mauldin competition this past weekend. Gabe was one of the finest men it has been my privilege to know. I will miss you!
