Zachary Allyn Ross Hunter

Obituary

Passed on

March 19, 2005 – August 8, 2024    It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Zachary Allyn Ross Hunter. Peacefully, at home and in the loving arms of his mother Karen, father Chris, and sister Chloe, Zach’s spirit moved on after a courageous battle with cancer.

Zach also leaves behind his adoring cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, as well as his cat Rosie and his many cherished friends. All whose lives were touched by him will hold him fondly in their memories.

Zach was blessed to live and grow up in the caring community of Stonewall, where he enjoyed many sports and interests with friends. When he wasn’t reading, listening to music, or hanging out with his Boys, Zach could be found on the soccer pitch, volleyball court, or snowboard hill. His love of cars and interest in a Japanese culture led to a carefully curated collection of manga, collectibles and his prized 2001 Honda Prelude. Zach had hopes of joining the Automotive Technology trade. His quest for knowledge and keen interest in philosophy lead to many deep conversations with anyone who could keep up.

Last summer, Zach achieved one of his life goals when he graduated high school alongside his friends despite battling illness. Zach’s passion for life and travel made possible several meaningful family road trips which will be cherished forever.

Zach’s family is eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support that they have received from family, friends, and the countless others who had Zach in their thoughts and prayers.

A celebration of life will be held at the New Life Church in Stonewall on Monday, August 19th, 2024, at 2:00 pm for those wishing to attend.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Terry Fox Foundation.

“Rage, rage against the dying of the light… Do not go gentle into that good night.”

“We will watch for you in the sunshine and the breeze. By the blossoms of the cherry trees. Go now peacefully and be free. Be free.”

Zach was our brave lion, our courageous cub.
