Who was Hunter Watson?
The inspiration and our mission come from Hunter himself. He was a young man of extremely diverse talents and interests. Wherever he went, whatever he did, he brought a spark and a smile and a contagious energy that inspired those around him. And while his life was too short, and the hurt that those who loved him feel will never fully heal, there is a peace that comes from knowing that Hunter succeeded in getting the most out of every day he lived.
As a boy and a young man … Hunter lit up the lives of his mother, Judy, his father, Jerry, his older brother, Teddy, and all his extended family and friends.
As a friend … Hunter cultivated deep and lasting relationships and will never be forgotten by those who knew him best.
As an athlete … Hunter loved baseball, soccer, football and wrestling, excelling as an individual while always striving to lift up his teammates.
As a student … Hunter graduated from Potomac School, enrolled at Syracuse University and joined Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, learning and growing and making new friends each year — while never forgetting his old ones.
As a musician … Hunter formed his first band at age 10 and never stopped loving, playing and performing music.
As an entrepreneur … Hunter worked with area nightclubs to encourage teens-only, no-alcohol nights which he then managed and promoted. He was also beginning work on his own technology-based business.
As a person … there will never be another Hunter.
While he had many interests, he was
one-of-a-kind.
