Jason Edward Jones, 22, of Belle Glade, Florida, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Born on August 15, 2003, in Riviera Beach, Florida, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Jason graduated from Seminole Ridge Community High School in 2022. During his time there, he attended the Weitz Construction Academy, where he helped build homes for Habitat for Humanity. One of his proudest moments was seeing the home he worked on dedicated to a deserving family from his own Belle Glade community.

From a young age, Jason showed a remarkable talent for working with his hands. Whether it was bikes, trucks, cars, or anything mechanical, he loved figuring out how things worked and making them better. Jason’s favorite thing to do was spend time with his family and friends. He especially loved his dad’s Toyota Tacoma and was thrilled when his dad gave it to him. He affectionately named it “The Taco,” and he wouldn’t have traded that truck for anything in the world. He and The Taco spent countless hours on the road and in the mud, creating memories he treasured deeply.

After graduating, Jason was proud to begin working alongside his father at Bergeron Land Development, where he quickly became skilled at operating heavy equipment. He loved his work and often spoke about how much he looked forward to returning while receiving treatment.

Jason will be remembered for his kind heart, hard-working spirit, and the deep love he had for his family and friends.

He is survived by his loving parents, David and Tina Jones; his devoted brother, Kristopher Jones; grandmothers, Carolyn Jones and Mildred Berry; and his aunts and uncles, Michael Jones, Chuck Jones, Mary Jones, Donald Enfinger, Andy Potawsky, Melissa Potawsky (his “second mom”), Linda Rigby, and Marie “Ladybug” Brown.

He is also survived by his cousins, Andrew Potawsky, Ryan Potawsky, Nick Potawsky, Nicole Potawsky, Dominick Royer, Bettie Glarner, and Noah Grace Molina; and by his God-chosen brothers and sisters, Anthony Dueñas, Darnell Frometa, Anthony Ayes, Pablo Ayes, Devin Burrus, Jacob Cossio, Courtney Cossio, Anthony Villavisencio, Eduardo Diaz, Rolando Concepcion, Stephanie Dueñas Perez, Manuela Ramirez, Melissa Martinez, and many more beloved friends and extended family.

Jason’s light, laughter, and love will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Christa Nicole "Nicki" Willis Hunt, age 38, passed away on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.

Born on March 3, 1987, in Palm Beach, Florida, Christa grew up in Belle Glade, where she graduated from Glades Day School in 2005.

She continued her education at Palm Beach State College, earning her Associate of Arts degree, and later attended Hodges University where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration.

In September 2008, Christa began her career with the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office as a dispatcher. Her dedication and attention to detail soon led her to assist with the department’s accreditation process, and she was later promoted to Accreditation Manager and Human Resource Clerk.

In 2019, Christa and her husband relocated to Greenville, Alabama, where she began serving the City of Greenville as Assistant City Clerk. Throughout her career, Christa served her community with passion, professionalism, and a deep sense of duty.

Christa was known for her incredible work ethic, willingness to help others, and a smile that could light up any room. Even in a business setting, she had the rare ability to make people laugh, lifting the spirits of those around her with her warm personality and quick wit.

In 2008, Christa met the love of her life, Jared Hunt, and they were married on May 16, 2009, during a beautiful beach ceremony in Fort Myers, Florida. Their love and partnership were a constant source of joy and strength.

Christa, known to her family and close friends as "Nicki," is survived by her beloved husband, Jared Hunt; her parents, Nelson "Sonny" Bond Willis Jr. and Christina Nelms Willis; and her two brothers, Nelson Bond Willis III (Holly) and Randy McGee Green (Maria).

Nicki lived and loved life to the fullest. She was funny, sassy, spunky, goofy, loud, and bursting with energy. Her holiday antics were legendary — from homemade redneck water slip ’n slides to outrageous family games and relay races. At Thanksgiving, it was her “official” job to carve — or more accurately, “butcher” — the turkey, always with laughter and joy.

There was not a holiday or family gathering where someone didn’t say, “Only Nicki!” Her unique spirit and contagious laughter brought the whole family together and created memories that will be treasured forever.

Nicki’s smile, energy, and unconditional love for her family and friends will live on in all who know her.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Nicki’s life and share memories on
Thursday, August 7th, at First Baptist Church of Belle Glade (17 NW Ave 😎.

Visitation will be from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., followed by a service at 10:00 a.m.
Interment will follow at Ridgelawn Cemetery in Clewiston Florida. 🕊️
