Hunter Dennis Schweer was born to loving parents Kyle and Sara (Trapp) Schweer on March 26, 2003, and welcomed home by sister Kesha. He later welcomed a younger sister, Estelle.  During Hunter’s short life he brought joy to his family and friends as he spent many hours in his earlier life with his dad, sister Kesha and Grandpa Schweer on the family farm.  He loved helping with daily chores and enjoyed the outdoors.  Hunter enjoyed fishing and hunting with his dad.  He also liked spending time with his sisters, learning from his older sister, Kesha, and caring for and teaching his younger sister, Estelle.

Hunter enjoyed trying new adventures as he learned to fish and hunt with his dad and Grandpa Schweer. Hunter participated in taekwondo and was spontaneous enough to try scuba diving on trips to warmer climates for spring break.  He accompanied the family on camping and fishing trips and enjoyed the many friends he made on his adventures.  Hunter attended Milbank schools from elementary and into high school, making many friends along the way. Hunter was intrigued by computers and video games and spent many hours as he grew older extending his circle of friends online.
