Paul, taken from us too soon at the age of 27 after his battle with cancer.
Yorkshire boy Paul was taken into Huddersfield's Kirkwood Hospice on Friday and died on Monday
9th October. five days before his 28th birthday
Paul was a three time Masters snooker champion and was diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine
tumours on the lining of his stomach in March 2005.
Paul loving husband of Lindsey, adored father of Evie Rose, and a cherish son of Alan and Kristina,
also a dear brother of Leanne.
An inspiration, both in terms of talent and panache but also for the great courage in the face of adversity. Rest in peace Paul, you will be missed....
Please donate to Paul's favourite charity
This is a terrible time for sport. Paul Hunter was a fine young man and deserved to live a long and sucessful life. His life was cut short by a rare form of cancer. Paul and his family have been supporting a charity who help people and their families deal with this kind of cancer. They are a small charity and I want people to help them, much like Paul and his family have done with the fundraising they have taken part in. Please donate to http://www.justgiving.com/snookerfans and we can make a realy contribution to making live better for people in the same position as Paul.
many thanks

Taken Too Young
My sincerest condolences to Lindsey & Evie Rose Hunter. Paul was a genuine star & will be missed both inside _and_ outside snooker...
Rest In Peace Paul
I have been a snooker fan for a couple of years now and Paul was always my favourite player. For him to have gotten this illness at such a young age is heartbreaking and the fact he lost his battle with it is even worse. I know how devastating it can be to lose someone close to you to cancer and my thoughts are with his family, wife, baby daughter and everyone else who knew him. Rest In Peace Paul, you will be missed and never forgotten xxx
So sorry to hear you have gone
Great snooker player, possibly would have been one of the greatest. Not only that, but a great guy as well. I heard the news and couldn't believe it! It shows the impact on people lives that he has made, with all these warm comments. Even though his life was cut short, he made a huge impact in all of our lifes in some way. And l think that shows how much of a great person her was.
Thank you
Thank you for everything Paul. your playing style was a joy to behold especially your masters wins showing guts to come behind in all the finals, and your gutsy battle against cancer. Being a father to a young family myself, my family's thoughts go to your wife and daughter who i'm sure are very proud of you. Your memory will live long in the snooker world as one of the best players to have picked up a cue and for being a fantastic and graceful sportsman. Even though you didn't win a world championship you are a world champion in my eyes. RIP PaulXXX
Absolutely gutted by the news since this morning. Paul is such a character on the snooker table. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP
So sad
You are most best-looking man in the game and a real battling champion. Still remember your dramatic come-back at the Masters. What a sad day for this sports. Our hearts are with your family.
