It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Zachary Hunter, a loving husband, father, son and brother.  He was an x-ray technician and resident of Inver Grove Heights, MN who died unexpectedly on October 3, 2020 at the age of 31.

Zachary is survived by his wife of 6 years, Cara and son, Toni, his brother, Adam Hunter, his sisters, Kelsey and Abigail Horner, Parents: James (Michele) Hunter and Deborah (Kevin Lovgren) Harvey, Grandparents: Edna Mae Hunter, Darrell and Maureen Harvey, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Vernel Hunter.

Zachary was born in Clinton, Maryland on July 3, 1989, graduated from Chisago Lakes High School in 2007, and later graduated from Argosy University with an associates degree in Radiology.  Zach was the most gentle, kind, soft-spoken man who did everything for his wife, son and family.  A man of character who loved his family with every fiber. He was an avid cross country and track runner during his high school years and excelled at that as he was a 3 time State Cross County participant.  He loved watching sports with his father and grandpa and enjoyed going to watch the Gophers play.  He went through Boy Scouts and earned his Eagle Scout. Zachary married Cara Valentine on October 3, 2014 and they have a son, Toni who is 9 years old.  He was currently working at North Memorial Health in Fridley, MN.  Zach will be dearly missed by so many. He is free, at peace in the arms of Jesus.  His suffering from seizures and worry trying so hard to provide for his family is over.
