Hummel Funeral Home & Crematories - FairlawnHunter Wheeler of Akron, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on July 22, 2025, following a motorcycle accident. His sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Born in Huntingdon, England, on August 17, 2004, Hunter was a young man whose humor, kindness and sweet nature touched everyone he encountered. Known for his genuine warmth and caring spirit, Hunter had the remarkable ability to make others feel valued and heard. His infectious smile and generous heart made him a beloved friend to many and a cherished member of his community.
Hunter is survived by his mother, Jennifer Wheeler (Dugan), father and stepmother, Rick Wheeler and Tiffany Lawson; his beloved girlfriend, Olivia Martin; his sister, Athena Phillips and her husband, Kaden Phillips; his brother, Evan Wheeler, and his stepbrothers Jordan Hall, Nathan Newman and Riley Newman. He was deeply loved by his extended family and a wide circle of friends who will forever treasure the memories they shared with him.
Hunter found joy in life's simple pleasures and had a passion for motorcycles from a very early age, which represented his free spirit and love of adventure. He approached life with authenticity and enthusiasm, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a moment of laughter with those around him.
Though his time with us was far too brief, Hunter's impact was profound. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, love and the reminder that even a short life, when lived with genuine care for others, can touch countless hearts and make the world a better place.
