Hunsaker "Dax" Before dawn on November 26, 2005 Damien "Dax" Hunsaker unexpectedly died. A young man, just 22-years-old, lived life on his own terms, but whose life was tragically cut short in a house fire that also took the life of his beloved cousin, Carter. Dax was born August 29, 1983 to Jerald and Mariam Hunsaker. He was their only child. As a child Dax was curly haired and toe headed with a disposition that matched the kink in his locks. As he outgrew the curls, he matured into a loving, responsible, selfless young man. He was a proud member of the Jordan High School graduating class of 2002. He later attended business classes at Salt Lake Community College. Dax worked with his father at Covington Capital Corporation and often talked about someday taking over the business. He reveled in the benefit of the "mileage allowance" and volunteered his car for whatever the assignment required. He loved three-day weekends, road trips, hotel sleepovers, fajita parties at his mom's, holidays spent in the St. George condo, power shopping at Costco, detailing his car, movies, video games and his cell phone. How does one use 3,000 minutes of air time a month? He was truly a platinum T-mobile customer. Dax had a tender, kind heart and always sought out to befriend the weakest member of the group. He had a diverse range of friends. No one would ever feel uncomfortable in his presence. He was accepting of all and knew that judgment was not his to make. He taught his parents many lessons - not the least of which was patience. He had a charming, commanding presence, a brilliant smile and was just one handsome dude. He took pride in his appearance and was the consummate gentleman. You always felt important in his company. He loved animals and during his short life had quite a variety. He should tell you the story about the snake that got loose in his dad's Jimmy at Fish Lake. He leaves behind two dogs, Snuffy and Gizmo. He loved his family and was fiercely loyal to them and was never too proud to give his father a hug or tell his mother he loved her. Dax leaves behind his most prized possession; his family. Included therein, his father, Jerald Hunsaker, mother, Mariam (Paul) Kay, grandparents, Thomas and Vilda Hunsaker and Richard (Dona) Bell, four uncles, five aunts and 38 wonderful cousins. Dax is preceded in death by his grandmother Venice Bell. Friends and family are invited to attend a celebration of Dax's life Thursday, December 1, 2005 at the Marriott University Park Hotel, 400 South Wakara Way, Salt Lake City from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Graveside services will be held at the Larkin Sunset Gardens, on Friday, Dec. 2, 2005 at 11:00 a.m., located at 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy.
