Growing up, Hunter had a great passion for the outdoors, hunting and fishing with his Dad and Grandpa. As he got into high school, his priorities shifted and he found football as his new love. Even more than playing, he loved watching his Dallas Cowboys. He lit up whatever room he walked into and was always there for those that he cared for. A gentle soul, always trying to make everyone around him happy.

Hunter was preceded in death by his Grandpa (DW Havins), Great Grannie (Yvonne Williams), Nannie (Wilma Jean Gates), and his Aunt Margo Corneillie.

Hunter is survived by his parents Dennis and Cindy Hawkins, younger brother Hudson Hawkins and the best 4 legged friend Blu, Emah Kay Hawkins, Grandma Carolyn Havins, Grumpy Phillip Hill Sr, Grandy Lynda Hill, Aunt DeeDee Corbin, Uncle David Hawkins, Uncle Justin Hawkins and wife Vinyl, Aunt Mendy Woodward and husband Bobby, Uncle Phil Hill and wife Lisa, numerous cousins and many more loved ones.
