Rickney B. Hunter is remembered as a man of purpose, service, and compassion. He is a son, brother, father, veteran, and community leader whose life continues to inspire those who knew him. Rickney served his country in the United States Air Force and later dedicated his life to serving families as a licensed funeral director. His commitment to helping others during difficult moments reflects his deep empathy and character.
Rickney was driven by a desire for excellence and growth. He pursued a higher education and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Alabama A&M University with a degree in Engineering.
Above all, Rickney was a devoted father to his daughter, Alaia Reign. His love, guidance, and spirit continue to live through her and through the many lives he touched.
Rickney carried a prayer that reflected the way he approached and viewed life:
“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss; good, not evil; success, not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it.”
The Miles for Minds 3K continues Rickney’s legacy by encouraging purpose, connection, and awareness around mental health.
