After a complicated birth, Hunter faced a life full of medical difficulties, but was lovingly cared for in his own home by a dedicated team of nurses, teachers, and therapists. His doctors and medical team were second-to-none. Despite so many physical limitations, Hunter impacted the hearts and lives of hundreds of people. He felt the presence of every visitor, listened and responded to familiar caring voices, and would reach out with his hand to feel the compassionate love being shown to him. Hunter could not see or speak, but he still managed to teach so many life lessons to all those who knew him. Hunter had his own timeline and did things his own way... he defied the odds and broke all the rules.
His parents are eternally grateful to everyone that participated with them in Hunter's life, supported their undying love for him, and for all who cared for this special boy.
Hunter's 18 years on this Earth will never be forgotten and the love his parents, family, nurses, and friends have given him well never wane. Thank you, Hunter, for blessing the world with your presence...
