Gunnar Hamilton Obituary

Visit the Thornton Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

 Gunnar was lovingly delivered into his Papa's arms, asleep, at 4:44am in Sims, AR. His little life speaks volumes.

 He enjoyed everything Mama ate, especially Nana Sharon's cornbread. Meal time often ended in the cutest hiccups. When thunder would startle him, he was comforted by Mama's soft voice and caress. Our little one would bounce, as if dancing, as we listened to music on our road trips and stir excitedly when hearing Papa's deep voice.

Gunnar's memory will forever live in the hearts of his Father and Mother, Shawn and Erica Hamilton, and Nana Sharon Brown, who eagerly awaited his arrival.

Until we're together again, we will hold dear the time we've shared. 

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
