Hunter D. Smith

Hunter passed away far too soon at just 7 years old, leaving behind a heartbreak no words can fully express. Though his time here was brief, the love, joy, and light he brought into the lives of those around him will last forever.

Hunter was a happy, loving little boy with an infectious smile that could brighten any room. He had a playful spirit, a contagious laugh, and a heart bigger than most. He was the kind of child who would go without just to give to someone else, always wanting to make sure those around him were happy. Friends meant everything to Hunter, and the bonds he built with them were filled with laughter and love.

Whether he was snuggling with his mom, wrestling with his dad, spending time with his sisters, or laughing with friends, Hunter lived life with pure joy.

Hunter took tremendous pride in his jujutsu classes and wrestling. He was determined, strong, and always eager to learn and grow. More than anything, he was so excited to become a big brother again and finally have the little brother he had always wanted.

Hunter fought with incredible strength and courage all the way until the very end.

He was deeply loved by his parents, Amber and Travor; his beloved sisters, Kaylee, Raelynn, Gianna, and Blake; his grandparents, Randy and Joan Dillon, Keith and Iva Glunt, and Alan and Denise Smith, great-grandparents Jane Rahn and Fred Dillon; as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Although not related by blood, Kennett was like a brother to him, and Coach Sharon was like a second mom — a chosen bond and love shared between them that will be forever cherished.

Hunter leaves behind countless people whose lives were forever changed by his kindness, laughter, and beautiful spirit. While the pain of losing him is immeasurable, so is the love he leaves behind.

As we mourn this unimaginable loss, we also celebrate the precious seven years Hunter gave this world. He will forever remain in our hearts, our memories, and in the love shared by all who knew him.
