Denise, I am so sorry, words can't say enough. I have the most beautiful memories of Hunter as a baby and through the years as a young boy before you moved to NC. He was always a stand out, full of sunshine, and just the sweetest child. When I would call the house, he would answer the phone "Radtke residents. This is Hunter speaking. May I ask who's calling?" And when I would come to the house to drop off my clothes to be altered, I would get to spend those little moments with him that could make anyone have a better day. You have always been an amazing mother, just rock solid through and through, and Hunter was lucky to have you. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to everyone who holds a special place in their heart to cherish Hunter. Hunter will always live on in the love he brought into the world. xoxoxo Vickie

Hunter Edward,
Heaven truly has gained a beautiful soul. I will forever remember you as my little crazy cousin showing up to the beach house with a pet skunk or you and my brothers playing pranks on me. I know so many people have so many of memories like these that you gave them. As I read messages from your friends and family it brings a tear to my eye but also joy to my heart because all their words are so genuine you truly brought so many happy memories and laughter to everyone around you. I don’t think I can recall a time where we sat down all together for dinner at Moms View and not all laughed and had a great time. These moments will be missed by so many. Love you Hunter.

Hunter, I dont know where to begin; since hearing this devastating news our family and myself have been complete wrecks. You were our baby cuz, our tag-along, and my second lil bro. Although you have just been given your wings to fly and look over us, you were taken from us way before this. I know you as the kid that had no fear, the dare devil and the sweetest boy all wrapped up into a young man that your father was very very proud of. I know you and him are up there now looking down over all of us with smiles from ear to ear. I love you Hunter Radtke. Until we meet again buddy, Rest easy.

Hunter lived across the street from us...we recently moved from the neighborhood and were shocked and saddened by Hunter's passing.
We enjoyed talking with him.
Such an easy going person who always smiled and said hello to us.
As a Mother.....I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his Mom and family.
Rest assured that Hunter made an impression on us..
Rest in peace young Man
Love

Hunter,you were just a little boy when you came into my life! The joy you gave me as a little boy was one that nobody can understand, we would wrestle around( and got in trouble for that) And all the times I looked forward to mom pulling up in the car with you in your car seat in the back all the way till we put you stereo system in for first car yes some years got difficult and we bumped heads but in the end I stilled loved you! I’m happy you started to call me again and we got to talk,I wish we had that dinner together and got to listen to that band you wanted to hear! I with forever miss you! Say hello to your sister for all of us and remember I will aways love you son.......
