Hunter made a very early entrance into this world on January 17, 2015, weighing only 1 pound 2.3 ounces and 10.95 inches long.  From the minute he was born, he was a fighter. While Hunter spent his whole life in the hospital, he had the most amazing life.

Hunter loved to be in his swing, being read to, having his head scrubbed during bath time, being cuddled by his Mommy and Daddy, and holding his Daddy’s finger. One of Hunter’s most favorite things to do was keep his nurses busy!

Hunter is survived by his parents, Jason and Bonnie Harth of Brownwood; maternal grandmother, Derenda Walker of Brownwood; paternal grandparents, Danny and Ronda Harth of Brownwood; maternal great-grandfather, Aubrey Lawrence of Rising Star; paternal great-grandparents, Ronald and Jackie Penn of Clifton; paternal great-great-grandmother, Ravé Traweek of Brownwood; aunts, Kathryn Walker of Brownwood, Rebecca Hill and husband Tom of Dulce, New Mexico; uncles, Tyler Harth and Kyle Harth of Brownwood. He is also survived by numerous cousins, great aunts and uncles, and other family members.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Stanley Walker; maternal great-grandparents, Stanley Walker, Sr. and Mary Jane Walker; maternal great-grandmother, LeJean Lawrence; and paternal great-grandparents, Bill and Edith Harth.

Hunter and his family would like to especially thank the wonderful and amazing staff at Texas Harris Methodist NICU in Ft. Worth, Texas, specifically Eva Creacy, Stepheny Stone, Dr. Chad Barber, Dr. Lori Nesslein, and everyone who cared for him during his lengthy stay in the NICU.
