Hunter E Hardaway
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Hunter E. Hardaway, a beloved brother, friend, and Marine. He was born on January 20, 1977 in Houston, Texas to parents, Larry R. Hardaway and Valree E. Hardaway. Hunter left us on January 6, 2025, at the age of 47, after living a life that was defined by loyalty, strength, and a sense of humor that made everyone around him smile.
A proud Marine, Hunter served his country with honor and commitment, embracing the values of courage and service that stayed with him throughout his life. As a graduate of Texas A&M, Hunter was deeply proud of his alma mater and carried the Aggie spirit with him wherever he went. His loyalty to his family, friends, and the Aggie community was unwavering.
Hunter had a loving family including his sister, Holly Bellringer, aunts, uncles and cousins that will miss him dearly. His family was his world, and he cherished every moment spent with them. His love also extended to his beloved cat, Shady, a companion who brought him comfort and joy in both quiet and challenging times.
Though he is no longer with us, the memories of Hunter will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. His laughter, his love, and his steadfast loyalty will be sorely missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

What a lovely obituary. You did fabulous Holly. I would love to come to service, but far. I loved my Cousin.

Hunter was a caring person who loved his family as well as his animals. Our families lived near each other. One day Hunter called me because his gerbil (or hamster?) was not doing well. I took Hunter and his pet to the vet. His pet needed a different diet. All ended well. I shall miss Hunter but know he’s in heaven with his mom and dad. Love, Aunt Renee
Here. I remember Hunter from high school. And as a fellow Aggie, I know that commitment to our University and profound pride in our military. Prayers for peace for all of you.
Hunter was in the Corps with my son at A&M. He came and stayed at our house several times and was a joy to be around. He will be missed.
Hunter was the best friend of my oldest brother, Jacob. As young children I remember Hunter visiting quite often. He was always with Jacob and a sidekick to whatever adventures Jacob was involved in. I remember he always had a “a serious” face on him and was always up for a challenge or battle. Always knew military was right up his alley. Hunter you will be missed but I know you are in a good place. see you on the other side! Give Zach a good kick in the ass for me.
Love, NES
I saw a lot of Hunter growing up as he was at my house often with my son, Jacob. We were very proud of him when he elected to go into the military. He made a fine soldier. It is very sad to lose a good man before his prime. My son lost a good friend. Our hearts goes out to the family. Peace be with you all. Love, Ms B and the Bryer family
I have so many fun memories doing things w Hunter, it was always an adventure and something you remember and laugh about later, always. 30 years later I still have those memories almost as clear as they were back then, I still smile and laugh.
I appreciate Hunter for them and always will, may God comfort all the many who’ve loved him.
My friend you will be missed. I will always cherish the great times we had at MMA together being a part of Charlie company (ups and downs). All this time later I still remember playing doom with him after lights out and just talking about crazy things like it was yesterday. He always was a leader and made such an impact on my life. He will be greatly missed.
