I am so sorry to hear of Hunter’s passing, my prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. My daughter, Alyssa, always spoke very highly of her and what a wonderful person she was. I’m certain Jesus welcomed her with open arms and that she is smiling on her family and friends.

Hunter was the biggest light and inspiration during my cancer journey. She was my friend, not just my nurse and always gave me the most encouraging advice. She continued to lift me up in prayer and was my role model. She gave the most meaningful hugs and that’s something I’ll take moving forward. To hug like Hunter. Love you so much sweet girl.

I’m deeply saddened about the loss of Hunter. Her unwavering faith and extraordinary courage has inspired countless people, and her sweet, kind, loving, and caring spirit will be remembered forever.

She shared such a beautiful relationship with John, and it’s heartbreaking to think of the future without her by his side.

Although her departure came far too soon, I take comfort in knowing that she’s at peace, surrounded by God’s loving care. Your memory will be a blessing to us all.

Hunter,
Thank you for being such a light. It was truly an honor to work alongside you. You had the most beautiful soul, and the way you connected with your patients was something so special. You spoke to them with such genuine compassion and understanding, shaped by your own experience with cancer, and it meant more than you probably ever knew, to them and to me too.

I’ll never forget just being in the room and hearing the way you talked to your patients, it was genuine and empathetic.

When I first started working on the oncology floor, I was scared. I didn’t know if it would be too triggering for me or if I would be able to handle it because of my own experience with cancer. But then I met you. You showed me what it looks like to turn pain into purpose, and to care for others with strength, empathy, and grace. You became an example for me, and I will carry that with me forever.

Thank you for inspiring me and so many others. I will never forget you.

Rest peacefully, knowing how deeply you are loved and the impact you made. I find comfort in knowing you are at peace in heaven with God. ️️

Everyone can agree that Hunter was a light in this world. She carried a warmth that made people feel seen—always ready with a smile, a kind word, or a simple hello that could brighten your day. Even in brief moments, it was clear she had a gentle, welcoming spirit that drew others in.

The grief that follows the loss of someone so beautiful can feel overwhelming and hard to mend. But if Hunter taught us anything, it was through the quiet strength of her faith. Her hope in Jesus was evident—not just in words, but in the way she lived, loved, and connected with others.

In moments like these, we can hold onto that same hope. A hope that God sees our broken hearts and will bring healing in time. A hope that this goodbye is not the end, but that one day, we will be called home too—and reunited again. We are keeping her family and loved ones in our prayers, trusting that God will surround them with comfort and peace in the days ahead.

I didn’t know Hunter or her family, I just wanted to say to her parents siblings ,fiancé and family I know how hard this is words are so inadequate. My daughter ( Janel F 25)a Nursing JU alumni of 2018 died 5 years ago. The pain is immeasurable but with God’s help and a Lot of support you can keep going on. I’m praying for all of you right now and know you’re not alone in your pain.

To Hunter and all who love her:

Hunter, thank you for bringing me so many laughs, smiles, and being a shoulder to lean on these past few years. I immediately connected with you first as a friend, but also working in the oncology world. Learning about your constant strength and faith during your own journey with cancer always gave me the inspiration and passion to continue to treat every patient as if they were my own friend or family member. You constantly reminded me to stay positive for my patients to be a light throughout their treatment when they needed it most in the darkest of times. As a friend, you never failed to make me laugh or always check up on me when you knew I was going through hard patches in life. I will forever remember all of the laughs we shared and so many good memories with our friends. You inspire me to become more connected with my faith and to re-center myself when times get hard. Love you forever angel and I know you’re smiling down on us always ❤️

Sending all of my love, hugs, strength, and prayers to John, the Riggs family, and the Sheffield family. ❤️

Sharing my deepest condolences, prayers and love to Hunter’s family and her fiancé, John at this most difficult time. I know that Hunter was such a bright light for so many people. Thank you for being such a good friend to my daughter Lindsey. May God embrace you during this time of grief and bring healing to your heart.
