Camp Mystic Testimonies: Ann Lindsay Hunt and Davin Hunt, parents of Janie Hunt

Ann Lindsay and Davin Hunt spoke about their daughter Janie, describing her as the “heartbeat of our family” and “the light of our family.” Ann said Janie left for camp full of excitement and joy. “She came home in a plywood box,” said Anne Lindsay Hunt, recalling the moment she identified her daughter’s body. “It’s impossible to put into words the depths of our grief. If these 27 little voices could be heard today, they would say, please vote in favor of S.B. 1, safer camps, so that no other parent would experience this darkness again.” Davin Hunt described Janie as “pure with a love for life and truly the innate ability to think of others before herself.” He said the pain of losing Janie is like a living nightmare. “Sometimes the dreams are replaying our hopeless trip to the funeral home, praying to my Lord and Savior, please kill me, take my life, but not my daughter, Janie, take me instead.”
