Mike Hunter, who for more than two decades was the voice of clergy sexual abuse victims in the Kansas City area, died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack last month.

Hunter, 66, had served as head of the local chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests since 1992 and was among the longest-serving local SNAP leaders in the country.

Those who worked with Hunter described him as a soft-spoken, humble man and an excellent listener who did not judge others. Though he didn’t feel comfortable doing interviews, he served as a spokesman for the organization and often was seen at news conferences and vigils displaying large photographs of young sexual abuse victims.

“He was one of the most kindhearted and generous and compassionate people I’ve ever met,” said David Clohessy, SNAP’s national director.
