Jacob Robert Hunter (Jake), born and raised in Phoenix/Glendale, Arizona, went home to be with the Lord on December 29, 2022. He was born on August 19, 1992. He graduated from Deer Valley High School, then he went on with various jobs, landing a security position where he succeeded as an essential worker. Prior to that, he worked with children at Santa Maria Elementary.
He is incredibly missed by his parents, Jeffrey & Lupe Hunter, his brother James (Chelsey) Hunter and sister, Marissa Michelle, his doting grandmother, Bonnie Hunter, his aunts: Jennifer (Nate) Dickman, Josephine (Shane) Schultz and Delia (Tony) Stevens, his uncle, Jesus Angel Gradillas, as well as his cousins: Rebecca, Ben, Nate, Jr., Jack, and his precious nephew and niece, James & Ellie Grace.
We are so saddened by our inexplicable loss but know that he was welcomed by our Creator, joining his predeceased family that includes his grandparents, Angel & Mary Gradillas, his grandad, Robert Hunter, great grand-parents, Jim & Vivan Hunter, great-grandmother, Troy Christine P. George, and his forever brother, Cameron. He is also reuniting with his beloved pets, Chuy and Blackjack.
Our hearts are breaking, but we know he is rejoicing with the Lord. His passion in life was devoted to spreading the word of God to all and anyone who would listen (or not). We shall cherish our memories of Jacob's kindness and eagerness to help take care of anyone who was hurting.
A celebration Mass to honor Jacob will be held on Monday, January 16, 2023, at Saint Simon & Jude Cathedral at 9:00 AM (6351 N. 27th Ave, Phoenix) with interment to follow at Resthaven Park Cemetery (6450 W. Northern Ave, Glendale). There will be a private gathering Sunday, January 15, 2023 from 12:30-2PM at West Resthaven Funeral Home, 6450 W. Northern Avenue, Glendale.
My beautiful son, Jacob, how we miss you, we love you so very much. Rest in peace, our precious forever Child in Christ. I can see you looking down on us with your contagious smile.
