Additional Information Hunter was the brightest light in any room he entered. Always the life of the party, to reassure you everything was okay. He started as a Lego enthusiast; building ships and space crafts. From the time he was little he was spoiled by his grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Any movie you could think of, he knew every line by heart and could quickly recite in any context. As he grew older, he became quite the gamer. From Warcraft to Mortal Kombat, he would hustle you for bragging rights. Being quite the ladies' man, he was awarded the title of prom king his senior year and will never be forgotten by any of his peers. Despite his illness, Hunter was able to engage in many activities others would deem impossible, such as, playing multiple sports, hanging out with friends, and graduating with his class. There was never a time he wanted to dwell on himself and his situation. He always wanted to live a life of a normal healthy kid. He always made you feel comfortable, even while visiting during some of his worse times. There was never a time Hunter wouldn't be sure of himself and would reflect a strength comparable to none other. Hunter was truly a role model for all to follow. He exemplified the upmost positivity and the epitome of perseverance. Many other people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis can use Hunter as motivation to find a life of happiness and normalcy.
