Mr. Hundley was born April 9, 1930, in Snow Creek, Virginia to the late Sallie Lou Bousman and George Francis Hundley, and passed away peacefully at his residence on October 3, 2025.

Taxi dedicated much of his life to his career, initially working as a pipefitter. He later advanced to the position of construction superintendent and ultimately retired from Fluor Daniels. His strong work ethic and leadership left a lasting impression on those who worked with him. Mr. Hundley was a devoted husband and father, remembered for the deep love he shared with his family. He cherished entertaining loved ones with stories from his childhood. Among his favorite pastimes was relaxing on his back porch and enjoying the company of family and friends. He was an active member of Trinity Baptist Church and was known for his devotion to the Lord and his willingness to serve others. His laughter and storytelling brought joy to many and will be greatly missed.
