Jerrica Thacker (little sister)
I miss my brother all the time and I was searching his name and I found this. Seeing how many people loved and cared about him and seeing all the people saying stuff makes me know he had a happy life while he was here. Though I did not get to see my brother a lot I'm happy to know other people made him happy. I love and miss my brother so much and knowing the people love him and that he is painless and watching over ne makes me so happy. I love you bubby, love sis

I remember Hunter playing basketball at Sulphur
Springs with my cousin. Hunter always had the
biggest smile and I can remember the way he
tossed his bangs back as he ran down the court.
He was such a sweet boy. I know how bad it
hurts to suddenly lose someone you love so
much. I pray that God eases your pain. Hunter
will always be in your heart and even though
it's not the same, cherish your memories. I
know I will always remember his sweet smile.
God Bless Your Family.
Steve, I am so sorry for your loss. He is with his father now in heaven. God Bless you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that God needed Hunter for a reason beyond our control and he called him home. He is resting now high up on the mountain.(No more pain, heartaches, cares or troubles). My mother and I know how it to loose a child and brother. The days have gone now for 12 years and I cherish all my memories of those days with my brother. Cherish and Love each other here on earth while you have them. I am reminded of a verse in the Bible that says don't cry the one leaving but rejoice. I find comfort in that because I know that one day I will be going to join my love ones and what a Glorious time that is going to be. My family and I have started telling each other we leave or hang up from a call that we love each other to make sure that we always let them know. I just want to tell you all that your family has been in my prayers and thoughts and you will continue to be in my prayers. Steve if you and your family need me for anything please let me know. You have always been a good friend to me and a great prayer warrior friend. May God Bless and comfort you in this time of loss.

I just wanted to say that I have been devastated by the news
of Hunter's death! I remember coaching him and Andy in B
Ball! Hunter always made a point to speak to me. I haven't
seen him in years! It's amazing how time flies! I loved coaching
and kids like Hunter made me smile! I also had the opportunity
for years to serve as a police officer! I always tried to make a
difference, especially with kids! I'm glad I left police work in
2009! I am praying for Hunter and your family! I can't imagine
the grief and I pray God will watch over this young soul and
the family he has left behind!
