My sympathy to your family. If it was destined for Hunter to leave you, what better to know he is now at home in heaven. Will pray for healing of your heartache.

My heart breaks for your family! I never knew hunter, but I, like many others have followed your story since Hunters accident! There really are no words that can take that pain out of your heart and life! I'm hugging your family in my prayers! May God give you peace that passeth all understanding during this immeasurable difficult time!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I had a bigggg crush on humter!! He was soooo cute.. you are in our prayers.

I did not know Hunter, but my 13 year old daughter did. My wife didn't know Hunter, but had been following his progress. When she told me of Hunter's passing it brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. A young life cut short is hard to justify. From his picture he looked like a fine young man. No parent ever wants to see another parent go through this. We all hurt, cry & ache with this tragic loss as a community. Forever Hunter!!!

So sad. May God forever fill the hearts of the parents/siblings with love and peace.

My condolences to Hunter's family. My famly didn't know him, but both my 13 and 7 year old boys are in the same Ide/Prairieview/Lakeview school system. We all went to a few fundraiser events for him that hopefully helped the situation at least a little bit.

I will always remember the fateful night when Hunter was hit. I was driving home, saw a police car blocking Lemont Rd. at 83rd St., and glanced further south down Lemont Rd. to see perhaps a dozen police cars with their lights flashing. My heart sank as I feared that something terrible had happened where my grandmother lives - a few doors down from Beller & Lemont. Due to the proximity to my grandmother's home, I drove through the neighborhood around the police blockade to check it out. It was dark and I couldn't get close enough to see clearly, but I saw a pickup truck with what appeared to be a bike stuck well underneath it. The crowd of spectators and I hoped that no one was seriously hurt (Hunter and the driver were already removed from the scene by that time). Sadly, we now know the whole horrific story.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 2/26/12 and be standing there to stop Hunter from riding into the crosswalk.

Hunter's memory will be with our family forever. When we walk or bike through intersections and stop at crosswalks when driving, we're all going to think about him and be more careful in every way.

I never knew him .. he was in a grade above ours . Although I saw him pass in the hallways every now and then . I had went to support him every time there was an event . Hunter, I know this may be a late response to your incident, but I would like to say, you seemed a nice guy . I hope you're at peace now . Now, at your old middle school which I am still at, we are doing all of these safety tips, still . My best wishes to the Himes family . The whole LVJHS has had hope for Hunter since day 1 until the last .
