Hunter William Renninger

Dearest Debbie,
I think of you and your family often. Words can not express my sorry to you, I see so much happiness in the photo gallery as Hunter is surrounded by his loving/caring family and friends.I know how much you miss him and love him.
Peace to you my friend.

Hunter, I miss you and will love you forever. Love. Nana

Hunter, it seems like just yesterday I was at your house, swinging you around in the bright yellow mop bucket. Your big blue eyes and bright smile shimmering at me. You were a gift from heaven. A gift from God. I love and miss you.

Words of love from my heart: Shared with family and friends on January 25, 2011:

The moment that I first held Hunter in my arms, was the moment that I learned the real meaning of true love. The day Hunter was born was the day my life changed forever. I held his precious, tiny body in my arms; but from that very moment, he held my heart in his hands.

As each day passed, Hunter blossomed into the perfect little boy, full of life and willing to share his love with everyone. He became everyone's best friend, sharing special bonds and special times with each of us. He was fun-loving and quick witted, with a bright smile and beautiful, sparkling, blue eyes. He brought endless amounts of joy and happiness to our lives. The moments we shared with Hunter will be cherished forever.

I adored Hunter, and I know many of you felt the same. Matt and I loved Hunty like he was our own son, and gloriously we knew that he loved us that much in return. The love we had for him was evident; his love was just as obvious. He adored everyone. And he never excluded anyone from receiving his endless love or his attention.

He had a strong personality, combined with the determination of a warrior, and a heart full of innocence and purity. He was the epitome of what a little boy should be.

Hunter was blessed to have two wonderful parents, Heath and Heather, who provided him with endless opportunities to learn, to grow, to play and to love...all of which he took advantage of.

In Hunter's short, yet very memorable life, he touched each and every one of our lives and our hearts.

Hunter was a gift. A gift that we were lucky to have received. A gift that I am grateful to have received. A gift that has left an everlasting impression upon us. An impression, which for me, began when he took hold of my heart; the first moment I held Hunter in my arms.

Hunty... may you have endless amounts of bubblegum, starburst, french fries, and apple juice. May you have parking lots full of bright yellow school buses, and a brand new shiny Kubota. I miss you with all my heart and love you a bushel and a peck.


XOXO,
Aunt Amie

To Our Dear Friends Heath and Heather,

We cannot imagine how you must feel and what you must go through each day. Unfortunately, we do not have the words necessary to take away your pain. All we can do is try to help you take each day, moment, and step as it comes.

You were truly wonderful parents who did everything in your power to take care of Hunter. We were always amazed by the things that he would say and do and cherish the special moments we all had together. He has touched our lives forever. Many of our most happy memories include both of you and Hunter and for that we are grateful.

You are terrific people and the best friends anyone can ask for. We believe that the friendship that we have is truly rare. We know that our times together will never be the same, but we are sure that Hunter will always be with us in everything we do. We know that the road ahead seems to be insurmountable. We will be here with you every step of the way and in due time hope to create new happy memories together in the future.

We love you both!

Dave, Heidi, and Rebecca

Heath and Heather,

The words I have are not adequate enough to express the sorrow I feel. My heartache is bathed in tears of unbearable sadness and yearning to rewind time.

Life does not make sense.

My life changed the moment Hunter was born. My heart burst with boundless amount of love the moment I first held Hunter in my arms. I was overjoyed the first time he smiled at me. I was amazed the first time he said my name. I soared the first time he gave me a kiss and my heart did flips the first time he said “onya” (I love you.)

Hunter was the light of our lives….he was the light of my life.

Hunter was the root of our happiness and our joy. He was the very essence of elation, of playfulness, of curiosity, of strength, of determination, of excitement, and of beauty. He had the natural abilities to make others smile. He was the definition of a perfect little boy.

I have been so lucky to be a part of his life and share in the beautiful memories we cherish of Our Little Hunty. I will feel cheated always that he was taken from us, so young and too soon. Yet, I must learn to be grateful that he had come along to bless us during his short, yet very memorable 3 years and 10 months on earth. Hunter was truly a gift from God. The most treasured gift that we could have ever received. A gift that blessed us, and provided endless amounts of joy and love to our family. He was the best gift ever. I give thanks for Hunter, whom I am proud to be able to call him my nephew and my godson. The unique and irreplaceable, Hunter William, whose true beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds.

Thank you for allowing us to be a special part of Hunter's life. He will always be our "best friend."

We love you both,

Amie and Matt

Dearest Heath and Heather,

Words could never explain what you are going through. Our hearts are broken for you both. Hunter was your whole life, and your whole world. He was such a fortunate little boy to have such wonderful parents like you; and we were such a fortunate and proud family to have such a sweetheart as Hunter.

The moment Hunter was born we fell in love. He was so easy to love! That smile and those big blue eyes just melted out hearts. We always knew he loved us too; he would give us a kiss and say “I love you Nana” and “Onya Pap.” We loved holding him and singing to him; looking at him as he would sleep; and those little toes…they were so cute and so precious!

Every moment spent with Hunter was special. We always appreciated and knew how lucky we were to have him be so close to us. We were so lucky to be able to see him as much as we did. Just to see him out playing in the yard, or riding his bike, or sitting on the porch, or just to see his bedroom light go on; let us know that he was O.K.

As Hunter grew older he developed his own personality. He was so much fun! He loved to drive. We would sit in the driveway for hours as he drove me to Tremont and Stone Harbor. He then got his own big truck and forgot about me. Then graduated to 4-wheelers and then again to school buses. He and Pap shared so many special trips out to Middlecreek and to the Little Run Gun Club and Playground together at dinnertime.

My special moment was when Hunter came across the yard for the first time by himself. This was something I had always dreamed of, and he made my dreams come true. There were so many special trips to Knobles Grove, Hershey Park, and Stone Harbor. And special moments eating clementines and watching movies, sitting in the driveway while he rode his bikes, playing in mud puddles, or worked on his wagon; Hunter brought so much fun and happiness to our lives. Then off to work he would go to the garage with Pap in the afternoon, wearing his Renninger’s Garage uniform, or maybe his Renninger’s buses uniform, depending on what mood he was in. He brought so much happiness to our lives. Those moments changed our lives. He made everyone’s life complete.

Pap and Nana are so proud to have such a wonderful grandson as Hunter.

God Bless You!
We love you,
Pap and Nana

Hunter,

It’s been a month now since that 21st day of January. Things are not getting easier but it seems to be getting harder. Nana and I are functioning but sometimes we just have to stop and cry. We miss you tremendously.

I often think of the many different things we did together, and have fond memories of all the fun we had working and playing together. Every time I walk from the garage to the bus lot along the highway I remember holding your hand to keep you safely away from the highway and the traffic. Now I can feel you taking me by the hand and leading me safely along the road.

Hunter, I need you to take me by the hand and lead me through life, and guide me along life’s path of pitfalls and burdens. I know you will help me make the proper decision between right and wrong. I want to do the right thing because when Nana and I leave this earth, we want to be with you.

I will forever love you Hunter.

Pap Bill

Hunter,

We were so happy the day you came into our lives. We will treasure the time we got to spend with you and all of the memories that were made. You were such a special part of our family and will be our buddy forever. We know that you are in a better place; however, those thoughts do little to ease the pain that we have now. Please know that we will do everything we can to help your loved ones, especially your Mommy and Daddy, move on a little bit each day. We know you would want it that way. We do need your help and ask that you continue to send signs to show that you are happy and watching over everyone in all they do. You will always be in our hearts and we will miss you forever.

We love you,
Dave and Heidi

To My Best Buddy Hunter,

I will always cherish the special times we spent together. I know you are in Heaven, but do not understand why we cannot play together. Mommy and Daddy tell me that we can play together in my dreams. So, I dream that we are jumping in the waves and pushing our trucks through the sand; I dream that we are playing in the kitchen in my basement and picking up our groceries in the pink shopping cart; and I dream that we are on the "froggies" with our hands up laughing. I miss you so much and will take you with me wherever I go. I will continue to say "Come on, Buddy" and know that you will always be with me.

See you in my dreams! I love you forever!
Becca

To our dear children Heather and Heath - No words can express how grateful we are for the past three and a half years of joy you have given us as being call Grammie and Pap G. Hunter was and always will be our "Little Man". We will love him always and miss him forever. We will get through this as a family because Hunter would have wanted it that way. Remember he never left us down so we can't let Hunter down. Love you both!!! Mom and Dad G.

Hunty---

My love for you grows deeper each day. I want you to know that life is very, very difficult without you. Your joy transmitted wherever you took your bright smile and through the sparkle in your unforgettable, beautiful blue eyes.

My heart aches at the thought of never laughing with you again, talking to you on the phone, exchanging a kiss, having a sleep over, taking a bike ride, going to Chuck E. Cheese, or playing a board game again. I am devastated to think about the moments I will miss. My life was full of so many plans to share with you. I know we will still share intimate moments together, just differently then I had planned.

I loved you from the very first time your Mommy and Daddy showed us your picture, and I will love you until the end of time. You have always been, and will remain to be my # 1. It was my job as your Aunt to help teach you, and help provide opportunities for you to grow and nurture you into the best person you could be. I wanted to give you, and show you the world.

I see you everywhere I go, and hope that you will remain with me always. Please help to guide me now and lead me in the right direction, helping me to be a better person. I can only hope to someday see you again. Please talk to me whenever you can, because I will not stop talking to you. You will always be in my heart and within my soul. I love you Hunty, with all my heart, to the moon and stars and back again. I love you a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck. Bet your pretty neck I do!

Missing you so much and loving you even more,

Your Aunt Amie

Hunter,

I was fortunate enough to be here when you were born, and from that day on you made me laugh and smile countless times. As you got older, your personality evolved into a lovable and pleasant young boy with the boundless energy for life that we cherished so much. All the good time we shared teasing one another and chasing each other around the house will be eternally missed. You will always occupy a large part of my heart and you will forever be missed.

I love you buddy.
Uncle Mac

Heath, Heather, and the entire Renninger family, my family and I offer our deepest sympathy and condolences.

When an angel goes to Heaven
God stands with open arms
to cradle and to comfort him
to keep him safe from harm.
When an angel goes to Heaven
precious memories are left behind.
Of innocence, warmth and that special smile forever in your mind.
When an angel goes to Heaven
he tells of wonderful times.
How Mommy, Daddy, and family
were loving and so very kind.
When an angel goes to Heaven
he misses your gentle touch
He asks God to be sure to tell you
He loves you very much.
When an angel goes to Heaven
he asks even one more request
that God will comfort those he loved
and to know he's with the best.
When an angel goes to Heaven
a part of you goes too.
Knowing you will be joined with him again when your journey here is through.

Our deepest sympathy,
Mike and Jolene Gretsky
