TRIBUTE TO PAUL HUNTER
R.I.P. 1978 - 2006
Hunter died at 8:20pm 9 October 2006 – just five days short of his 28th birthday – at the Kirkwood Hospice in Huddersfield.[45] His funeral took place on 19 October 2006.
Prior to the Premier League Snooker matches on 12 October 2006, players Jimmy White, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Ken Doherty and Ding Junhui, along with referee Alan Chamberlain and commentators Willie Thorne and Phil Yates, all stood for a moment of silence to remember Hunter.[6] There was also a short video tribute.
Fellow professionals Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams, Jimmy White, Matthew Stevens and Ken Doherty have led calls for The Masters trophy to be named in Hunter's memory.
Hunter's funeral took place at Leeds Parish Church on 19 October 2006. Many players attended the ceremony, and his best friend, Matthew Stevens, was a coffin-bearer at the service.
In 2006 Hunter was posthumously awarded with the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award – his widow Lindsay accepted the award on his behalf.
The Paul Hunter Foundation was set up after his death to give disadvantaged children places to play sport and socialise.
