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.”
