RIP hunter

I am soo sorry to hear about hunter i was friends with his brother when i skateboarded and i hung out with hunter a couple times he was a cool kid. hang in there my prayers are out there for you.

I didn't know Hunter very well, but he's not someone you could forget. He was on my school bus, I saw him almost every day. Whenever we had a substitute driver he would sit in the front seat and tell her where to go because he was the only one that remembered where all the stops were. Though I've moved away, I'll miss him as much as everyone in Davenport.

Michael, Brenda,Baron,

We were very sadden to hear about Hunter. He and Baron were always polite and well behaved little boys when they attended Happy Joe's Child Care Achievement Center, Davenport. It was always a pleasure to be around Hunter with his happy and funloving attitude. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Im so sorry for the loss of Hunter. He was a good friend of mine that I had met i the sixth grade and he was always in a really good mood. When ever I saw him he always smiled and when he entered a room, it became a happier room. I'm sorry I could not make it to the visitation or funneral because I was out of town. He was the nicest guy to anyone and I know that in Heaven he will be just as happy as he was here with us. He will allways be in my prays and so will the Vondrans. Hunter I love you and miss you alot!



Love,

Claire

Mike, Brenda, and Baron-we have returned home but our hearts and prayers are still with you. Thank you for the invitation by Annie for lunch but we just felt you had done the "people" thing long enough at that point. I pray your guardian angels lead you gently through the difficult days ahead. Peace. Pete and Linda

To The Vondran family



We are deeply sorry about the passing of your son and brother, Hunter. Please know that you are in our prayers. May God bless you and keep you.

Mike, Brenda & Baron. I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of Hunter. It just seemed like yesterday that I was caring for him in my home (Grape Vine Child Care). I watched him grow for the first 3-4 years of his life into a wonderful little boy. Over the years I have stayed in touch to see how both boys have grown into fine young men. My heart aches for your loss, he will truly be missed by all of those that have come in contact with him. My family was out of town over the last week and I did not hear about Hunter until late Sunday night. I am so very sorry to have missed the visitation, but I am very thankful that I was able to attend the funeral on Monday morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hunter was a great person. He was a good friend to me. I will miss him tons, but as he said look on the bright side of everything,I am doing that and i hope you all will try to also

I will never forget him.

School just won't be the same without Hunter, he was always happy and smiling and making everyone feel great. Im tremendously sorry for your loss, but i do know that everyone at Sudlow will always remember Hunter.

Brenda, Mike and Baron, My sincere condolences to you all. I did daycare the same time as Sandi did while she had Baron and Hunter and they both played at my house many times. What great kids. I ache for each of you. You have been in my prayers constantly since I heard of the accident. Lean on the Lord at this time and let him bring you through each day.

Mike & Brenda: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know of your love and devotion to your son, and Leigh and I are praying for you.

Mike, Brenda, Baron and extended family, words alone can not describe the sorrow we feel for your family during this time. Hunter touched so many people in his short stay on earth. I feel truly blessed to have met him, he was one of the most charming, respectful and "together" young men I have ever known. Hunters tragic loss will forever change how most of us view what is important in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love, Phil, Dorie, Dustin & Clay

Hi my name is Caitlin Ray And I Knew Hunter from school and i'm really sorry that this happened and that i will miss him very much I only really got to being friends with Hunter at the end of the last school year but for that short period of time I learned that Hunter was a very good athlete and a good and kind hearted person as well I will miss him very very much and i will always remember him weather he's here or not

Hunter was an amazing person. I can remember so much about him. He was always smiling and making jokes. I remember in fourth grade when he came up to a bunch of us and said he counted all his freckles. He was a great guy and was brought up well by his parents. Everyone loved him and Everyone will miss him greatly. It will be hard without you Hunter!

Hunter was an amazing person who will be missed greatly. If I could say one thing that I remember about Hunter was his smile. He always had a smile on his face when he was around me. As a friend of his, I will miss him greatly. We all loved him and we will never forget him.

Mr.& Mrs. Vondran, Our daughter is a Sudlow band member, and a friend of Hunter's. We have had great opportunity to spend time with this awesome group of young people. Hunter stood out as a bright star among them, and was clearly loved by all. What a great kid!! We are so greatly saddened by his passing. May God be with you and all of your family in this time, and may He bless all the kids who must try to understand the passing of their beloved friend, Hunter. Peace be with you,

Mike & Brenda,

We were so sorry to hear of Hunter's death. You have our deepest sympathy and prayers. May God comfort you and Baron as only He can do.

This comes as a shock for me and as i would amagine many others hunter is the last person in the world to deserve something like this but i think of it as he's in a better place.And i will truly miss him. i would like to say i'm sorry for your loss to the Vondran family.

Hunter will live on in my heart and i am pretty shur everyone who has met him.

rest in peace.

p.s i will miss you.

i went 2 school with hunter, and hes always been the only person everybody loves. im a year older than him, but i saw him quite frequently, he was friends with everyone and is probably the nicest guy ive ever met. i think most people who know him think the same of him, and, i went to church with him too. to even imagine something like this happening to him is....the worst. hunter was just one of those people who knew everything, or had an opinion. it just doesnt seem fair at all for anything to have happened to him or his family. they are the niceset group of people that you could ever find. its too surreal, to terrible for anyone to fully grasp. its hard to imagine him being gone.

Oh, Brenda and Mike, what a tragedy.One thing you can hold in your heart of memories are all the things you taught him and the great example he had in you both. He was well loved. May God Bless you throughout this tragedy and beyond.

I was a classmate and friend of Hunter's in the sixth and seventh grades. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great friend, and I extend my sympathies to the family and friends of this wonderful child. He was too young to have his number called up, but I know that he will be playing his drums in peace.

Hunter we all miss u already the year at sudlow is gonna be horrible without you . To hunters I family can not even imagine the greif you are going through i am very sorry for you loss i will keep you in my prayers!

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT HUNTER. WE WERE ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM TOGETHER. I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH.

Hunter was one of those people that you can never forget about. He was funny and smart and would barely get mad about things. It is so sad to see him go. I would just like to send my condolences to the family and let Hunter know he will never be forgotten.

I think I speak for every kid at Sudlow, Hunter was the nicest person you could ever meet. When I think about it no one didn't like Hunter, and he was friends with anyone and everyone. No one had a sence of humor like Hunter, just being around him made you smile. I remember he sat behind me in humanities class and he would always want to "braid" my hair, of course he didn't know how, but it was so funny to see him try. He was just a goofy guy, and that's what everyone loved about him, from the kids to the teachers. When my friends and I saw the picture in the newspaper of him in his rancid t-shirt and that goofy smile on his face we all just said "that's so Hunter" because the way I'll always remember Hunter is with a smile, he didn't go anywhere without it.

- A friend of Hunter's-

I remember how fun and caring Hunter was. He never got mad at any one and he was always there for others. School will never be the same without him. Everytime I think of Hunter happy memories pop into my mind...without him nothing will be the same. They are very lucky to have such a great guy up there.

Hello my name is Tess. I went to school with hunter even though i wasnt in the same grade as him. I still heard alot of good things about him but i really wasnt one of his friends. I am really sorry about what happened to him and i know everybody is going to miss him.

Remembering Hunter...



"A thing of beauty is a joy forever:

It's lovliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness: but still will keep

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing..."



from the poet, John Keats

Hunter was a true freind of mine we would always joke aorund and have fun everyday in school I never thought this would happen when i found out i knew it wasnt true now i kno.

Loving Memory-Hunter Aaron Vondran
