Hunter was a compassionate, kind, and fun young man. He will be so missed. Our condolences to your family. May time bring you peace. ❤️
I love you son. You always belonged to God.
Hunter had a wonderful, infectious smile. I had him as a student at St Casimir School and remember him as a kind and gentle young man. Rest in Peace Hunter. My deepest sympathy to the family.
My best friend throughout all of high school and into adult hood. So many memories have been shared together and will forever be remembered.
I was one of the many teachers who will remember Hunter as a kind young man who loved school. He always tried his hardest. Hunter was a joy to have in my classroom. He won’t be forgotten.
What a GREAT person!
I was one of Hunter’s teachers at TEAM Academy in Waseca, and I remember him as an outgoing, kind, thoughtful little boy who always tried his best at everything he did. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Hunter fondly from his time at TEAM Academy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Hunter fondly from being his third grade teacher at TEAM. He was a joy to have in class. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Hunter was such a kind and caring coworker. He always helped when asked. He will be missed.
I will always remember Hunter as very respectful, quiet, and always willing to give a helping hand to others, and his loyalty to family. He was always willing to say, “Hi” to his former principal and junior high teacher.
One of my favorite memories I have is when Hunter served at Mass. The very first time, his friend, Jacob Corey asked him to help serve at Sunday Mass. Everyone always assumes that if you go to the Catholic School you know how to be a server. Hunter, even though he wasn’t Catholic, was always to lend a helping hand, especially to a friend. He may have hesitated but because he saw the need, he stepped up!
Hunter did a wonderful job. He filled the role as someone who had always served. You couldn’t tell that he had never served before. His quiet, observant demeanor, allowed him to follow the discrete directions of his friend. His respect for the church and the sacredness of the space made him a wonderful example of being a beloved child of our Lord. When I praised Hunter for doing such a wonderful job afterwards, he just smiled and said, “I
was really nervous”! Once again he was willing to help without regard to his own discomfort!
The world may no longer have Hunter but eternity has a beautiful soul that genuinely
reflects humility and service like our
merciful Lord, Jesus Christ.
I was so shocked to read of Hunters passing. He was one of my first “little buddies” when I worked at the bank. What a wonderful little boy! Words cannot convey how very sorry I am for your loss, Julie and Brad. Sending much love and many hugs.
I miss you so much Hunter. I love you with all that I am. You were better than me in every way possible and the world is a much darker place without you. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to move forward from here. I was and am the luckiest father alive. I still have Cole and Abby to help me through this. Thank God vg Your mother as well of course. I love you son
I agree with Dah – I think about you all the time and now aunt Dolly’s obituary will be here next to yours. My heart hurts so much. You look back and think I wish I would’ve called more, saw you more, everything and anything more. You both were so important to me, both so naive, innocent, big hearted and always willing to listen. Please hug each other in heaven and watch over us because we’re lost without you both.
