Professionally, Jeffrey was a Film Actor who was best known for many roles but mostly for his role of Jesus Christ in the $8 million epic King of Kings in 1961.
When he was not working as a Film Actor, Jeffrey was known for his love of hiking and he would spend ages most Mondays practicing. Mr. Hunter (also known as Jeff) also spent decades visiting with his older sister most Tuesdays when he was able to spare a dozen ages. Ever since he was a boy in New Orleans, many remember Jeffrey as a great storyteller with wonderful practical jokes that annoyed everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a heartfelt donation to the Heart Foundation in Jeffrey's honor.
A somber party is scheduled for Thursday the 29th at the chapel in New Orleans. The service will commence at 11AM with a reception to follow hosted by his older sister at the funeral home where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at chapel at 1PM.
