Robert grew up in Enterprise, Utah and Edgemont in Provo, Utah.  Robert attended Brigham Young University and graduated from Southern Utah University in 1978.

Robert was drafted during the Vietnam War and served as a military policeman in Korea and Oklahoma before his honorable discharge.

He attended the University of Washington Dental School and graduated in 1982.  Robert had a brilliant mind and was able to test out of his first year of dental school classes except the two that had no test out option.  He was the only one in his entire class that was able to test out. After graduation in 1982, Robert established a dental practice in Vernal, Utah.  He practiced there until his retirement in April 2015.  He enjoyed practicing dentistry and especially enjoyed visiting with his patients.

Robert enjoyed baseball and softball from an early age.  He began pitching in little league and played until he could no longer play after a stroke in his early thirties.  He also coached softball as well as his son's basketball teams.

Robert was a very hard worker who always had to be busy with a project.  Besides his dental practice, he raised hay and cattle in Vernal, Utah.  He loved animals and had a special way with them.  He was always teased that his cows were his pets because they would follow him around like dogs and want their ears scratched.

Robert loved his Savior and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  He served in many callings including elders quorum presidency, high council, Sunday school teacher, primary teacher, scout leader, and ward member location committee.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, LeGrand A and Anna Carol Hunt; brother and sister-in-law, Bruce LeGrand and Sandra Pollock Hunt; nephews, Bryson and Tyler Hunt; grandparents, Norvel and Erma Bowler Bracken, Amos and Naomi Barnum Hunt; and his oldest son, Logan LeGrand Hunt.
