Fishing with his friends, playing in the creek, and outside family gatherings also brought him much joy. Hunter was very athletic, excelling in his favorite sport, baseball. He was a team player always encouraging his friends. Hunter was a great support to all his family.

He always took pride in what he did and strived for perfection by working hard. Hunter was a fun-loving young man, always making everyone laugh. He had the biggest, most beautiful smile, an unforgettable laugh, along with his big heart. He was deeply loved by all who knew him. He was not only a son, brother, grandson, nephew, he was our best friend. It is not goodbye but until we meet again. Collier Funeral Home in Louisiana, MO is in charge of cremation arrangements.
