Brad & Jen,
So, so sorry to hear about Hunters' passing - but SO encouraged to know that he gave his life to Christ and that now he walks with Him for eternity! Jake really looked up to Hunter when they played football together in high school and was really shocked to hear the news of his passing. Praying you guys find some peace during this time of loss!
