His love for animals was well known by all. Daniel was a forever loyal Raiders fan who watched the "Silver and Black" good or bad, but his number one love was for his three boys, Micheal (16), Daniel (15), and Karson (14) all of Tucson. Proceeded in death by Grandparents Dwight and Gladys Lobdell. Survived by Grandparents Ron and Dorothy Hunter of Dodge City, Kansas. Stephanie James of Tucson. Uncle and Aunt, Wes and Nona Rowton of Benson, Arizona, their children Angela and Scott, including their families. Also, A.T. and Cathy Decker of Garden City Kansas, their children Brandy and Kristy, including their families. He leaves many friends whom he loved and would do anything he could to help them. Through all his challenges he never forgot his creator Jehovah God.

Private arrangements will be made.

I just learned of your passing, and although it has been many years since I last saw you, I wanted to take a moment after reading the many thoughts and expressions of love from your friends and loved ones to say; I am truly sorry and send my deepest sympathy to all your family and friends in the loss of your kind and caring soul that always had a smile and a kind word to say to me. May you be at peace and fly with the Angles.

our playboy... we all loved you so much... you were a true friend and that is hard to come by these days.... im glad i had you for 18 yrs..... i never understood what it meant when someone said "they are in a better place now" until your passing. i truly believe you are at peace now. we will always remember you for your kind heart and true friendships to all of us. there is no one like Daniel Ryder Hunter. you were always easy to go to and talk about something that was bothering us. you always gave us advice, weather we liked it or not, but you were honest and i respect you so much for that. I thank you Ryder for the time i had with you... i will never ever forget you.... you made a difference in my life and im sure to others as well. I LOVE YOU with all my heart and its not fair that you were taken from us, your family, and your sons. I now know we have an angel watching over us and especially your mom, dad, grandparents, and all 3 of your boys. What i will miss most is your huge bear hugs and your smile..... You are one who will be missed greatly.
ONE LOVE... CHRISTI AKA PK....... KISSES AND HUGS TO YOU...... MUUUUAH...
