IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Hunter, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
Who he was
He loved mustangs and had a lead foot - too many tickets to count with the 3rd Mustang so Mama got him a truck… He also loved his Ford F150 that I still drive now
In the song 0:10I still drive that Ford F150 today
Since that third Mustang got carried away
With your heavy lead foot and your free spirit soul
-
Who he was
loved his Sperrys and a good ole pair of Wrangler Retros
In the song 0:28In your Wrangler Retros and your Sperry shoes
-
A memory
I miss our long talks, him asking for advise and then not taking it
In the song 0:32Asking for advice you were never gonna use
-
Who he was
Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd was our song. I sang it to him when I was pregnant until he was laid to rest
In the song 0:42My simple man, my pride and joy
I sang it to you before you were born
And I sang you to rest on that quiet morn
-
Her message to him
This is not goodbye. It's I'll see you on the other side… Mom has got it from here my blue-eyed baby boy
In the song 0:35You'll always be my blue-eyed baby boy
This isn't goodbye, the love hasn't died
Hunter, my son, I'll see you on the other side
Rest easy now, Mom's got it from here
-
Who he was
kart # 27 was always up for a challenge and would put that kart where ever it needed to be
In the song 1:19Kart twenty-seven, watching you come alive
You'd put that machine where it needed to be
-
What she misses
What I'd give for him to run through the house screaming Mom, Mama, Mommy, Mother… that mischievous grin
In the song 1:33Yelling "Mom, Mama, Mommy, Mother!" through the door
With a mischievous grin I will always adore
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIIHunter’s story
Hunter was funny and handsome, the family comedian and prankster. He was a free spirit who lived life to his own beat, and he was always there when his mom needed him.
He was an extremely talented go-kart racer, and kart #27 “was always up for a challenge.” She still treasures old videos of him racing and the good times they shared traveling all over the east coast to race.
He loved Mustangs and had a lead foot, with “too many tickets to count with the 3rd Mustang so Mama got him a truck.” She still drives his Ford F150.
“Our mother/son bond can never be broken. Not even with death.”
What she wrote to him
He raced until he became a dad to his son, Dallas. Dallas was his pride and joy, and he was so proud to be his dad.
She misses his infectious laughter, his sense of humor and his hugs, which could fix almost anything. “What I’d give for him to run through the house screaming Mom, Mama, Mommy, Mother.”
She misses their long talks, and him asking for advice and then not taking it. She remembers seeing his blue eyes light up when he stared into the beautiful blue eyes of his son.
“He said there’s a song out there that relates to every aspect of life.”
Hunter’s mom, in her review
“Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd was their song, and she sang it to him from the time she was pregnant until he was laid to rest. Now she wants all of his family to make a song “in the way they remember him and turn it into a tribute album to him.”
