Florida Highway Patrol troopers on Saturday identified the crash victim as 70-year-old Stephen Hunter of Sparr. Hunter had been president of the Ocala Tea Party or Tea Party Solutions for the last several years.
Opal Stroud, who attends tea party meetings, described Hunter as a tireless, dedicated patriot who will be truly missed.

Verrando said Hunter was a U.S. Army veteran who fought in Vietnam, Before becoming president of the local tea party, Hunter worked at Lockheed Martin and owned a company that built simulators for pilot training, Verrando said.
Verrando said Hunter was a champion of property rights and that he was well-loved, respected by all and had an easy way about him.
