Hunter Redmond Tyler Texas There are moments in life when the world feels like it stops spinning—when time slows, when voices fall silent, and when our hearts break in unison. That moment came when we learned of the tragic accident involving our beloved Hunter Redmond. It is a moment that we will never forget, a moment that will remain etched in our minds and hearts forever.
Hunter, words feel small compared to the weight of our emotions, yet we are compelled to speak them anyway. Because in the wake of pain and uncertainty—or loss—we must still hold space for love, for memory, and for hope. Whether you are still fighting your way back to us or have already crossed into eternity, this message is for you.
You have been a light to all who knew you—a friend, a son, a brother, a teammate, a protector. Your spirit radiated kindness and strength. You were the kind of person who made others feel seen. Your laughter, your stories, your way of lifting people up—it all came so naturally to you. And whether you knew it or not, you left a mark on this world that can never be erased.
When tragedy strikes, it’s hard not to ask why. Why you? Why now? Why in this way? But maybe there is no answer that makes sense. Maybe the better question is how. How do we honor you? How do we carry your spirit forward? How do we find a way to keep living in a world that suddenly feels so quiet without you?
We remember the warmth of your presence. The way you showed up for people. The compassion you had. The dreams you chased. The fights you fought. The way you never gave up—on others or yourself. We remember your light, and in that remembrance, we find a reason to keep going, we are praying. We are holding on with hope that is fierce and unrelenting. We are believing in the miracle of healing, because we’ve seen your strength and know that it’s still alive within you. We pray for your body, for your mind, for your soul—that they be restored. That you awaken. That you walk again. That you laugh again. That you stand tall again and live to tell the story of your survival.
But if, God forbid, this message is one of farewell—if you have left this world—then we honor your journey. We grieve deeply, but not without gratitude. Gratitude that we got to know you, to love you, and to be loved by you. Gratitude for the time you spent with us, however brief. Gratitude for the memories that now become sacred.
To Hunter’s family: no words will ever be enough. The loss—or suffering—you are experiencing is unimaginable. Your son, your brother, your loved one was a gift to this world. His presence, his joy, and his kindness reached so many. And in his honor, we weep with you. We stand with you. And we promise never to forget.
To his friends and community: let us be gentle with each other in this time. Grief will look different for each of us. Some will cry openly. Some will grow quiet. Some will want to talk about the good times, while others may retreat into silence. However we grieve, let us make room for one another. Let us wrap each other in kindness, the same way Hunter always wrapped us in his.
Let us light candles. Share memories. Wear his favorite colors. Say his name. Let us pray boldly for healing if he is still here, and honor his legacy if he is not. Let us not let the world forget who Hunter Redmond is—because he is more than an accident. He is more than his last moment. He is a legacy of goodness, strength, and love.
In this time of uncertainty or loss, we also turn our hearts to God. We ask for peace that passes understanding. We ask for comfort in the deepest of sorrows. We ask for healing—whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. And we ask that Hunter’s story continues to impact lives, even now. That it inspires us to live more intentionally. To love more freely. To forgive more quickly. To be a little more like Hunter.
You are remembered.
You are loved.
We will carry you with us always—in our hearts, in our prayers, and in the way we choose to live from this day forward.
So if you’re resting now, we pray you’re at peace, surrounded by light. And if you’re still fighting, then we are right here fighting beside you—every heartbeat, every breath, every prayer.
