        Hunter (Little shit) was an amazing person who touched many lives with his friendly, goofy, inspiring personality. Hunter took pride in helping raise Jagger and AnnaBell. He loved chasing them around the house, having nerf wars, curling up watching tv, and helping them with schoolwork. He was a very proud uncle. In Hunters spare time he loved to cook, going to concerts, anime, having bonfires and hang out with friends and family.

        As an early teenager he suffered from a lifelong condition of Pancreas Divisum where he spent many nights in the hospital and traveling to Seattle for multiply surgeries. After he lost his grandma Dolly he struggled in life and made some poor choices. After he moved to Drummond, he got his life on track. He was doing good and created a family within the Drummond community. He loved his life in Drummond and loved his extended family he made here. It didn’t take him long to make friends and fall in love with Drummond. He loved the small-town life. You could drive down the street and if Hunter wasn’t working, you’d see him walking and visiting with people.

        Hunter was the heart of his family, friends, coworkers, and customers. Hunter loved deeply. If you knew him you could feel the love he had for life, people, and his family. He was generous with his time and always made sure he had time to visit and listen to his friends.
