Desultory Thoughts

Our miracle, Hunter Greyson Keel, has decided to return to his home in heaven.

He was born in heaven on Jan. 11, 2008. Hunter was born on earth April 14, 2007, and weighed only 2 pounds, 14 ounces. Our precious boy came into this world with a shock of red hair and big beautiful hazel eyes. He was also born with Holoprosencephaly and other challenges that he valiantly struggled through.

Our little guy had a sweet personality with a serious disposition. He had wise eyes and didn’t get impressed all that easily. His feisty temper amused and astounded us as he fought the statistics and gave us almost nine beautiful months with him. He could throw temper tantrums while sleeping (his mom called this cheating) but as long as he got his way he was a very easy going baby. Of all things he loved being cuddled and held the most and we are so thankful to have had so much time to do so.

We all love Hunter so much and will miss him greatly. We want to thank our family, friends and the community for all the support given to us throughout Hunter’s short, meaningful life.

Hunter is survived by his mom, Amber Keel (Brannan); dad, Dennis L. Keel Jr.; his entire family and all the people who loved, cared and prayed for him during his times of trial.
