Friends Turn To The Internet To Remember Hunter Fromm, 11
November 30, 2010
Friends of 11-year old Hunter Fromm turned to the Internet to remember and memorialize the Ransom Middle School student after his sudden accidental death on Friday.
Fromm struck his head on a tractor Friday morning after jumping from a horse at a relative’s Molino home. He was transported to a Pensacola hospital where he later died.
Within hours, word spread of Hunter’s death, with hundreds of Ransom students expressing their thoughts in the comments section of a NorthEscambia.com about the incident and on Hunter’s Facebook page.
“Hunter. I hope you can check FB (Facebook) in heaven!! I miss you like crazy,” one girl wrote on his Facebook page. “I wish I would have seen you more because now thats all I can think about. Your one loved kid and we will never forget you!!”
Students have created and posted memorial YouTube videos, and posted their memories about the boy with spiked hair. Ransom students even used Facebook over the weekend to organize spiked hair at the school Monday in his memory.
“You always made me laugh when I was around you. We will all miss how goofy you were and you’re smile and laugh. Rest in peace Hunter. You will always be in are hearts and in mine,” another student wrote.
Goofy. Funny. Smile. Laugh. Those words appear often. Friends also used the Internet to quietly express their grief over the sudden death of a classmate.
“This is horrible, I’ve been crying all night,” a person that identified themselves with just a frown wrote on NorthEscambia.com “God knew it was his time and he took him for a reason. If God put the family to this then God will bring the family through it.”
“We will all miss you coming down the halls of Ransom where everyone loved you alot,” another student wrote on NorthEscambia.com.

Friends say that the Fromm family did not have burial insurance for Hunter. Donations are being accepted at any Gulf Winds Federal Credit Union location to the Hunter Fromm Memorial Account. Also, a benefit concert is being organized for Saturday, January 15. Details will be posted here on NorthEscambia.com.

r.i.p hunter!
I did not know Hunter, but I was on youtube and saw a comment on the song ‘If I Die Young’ by The Band Perry regarding young Hunter’s death (sorry to bring it up!!! :/ ). Naturally I searched him, and this is one of the saddest stories I have ever heard of. It may not be appropriate for me to do this since I did not know him, but my condolences. I am the same age as he was, and I feel that it is necessary to say that I am deeply sorry for your loss. Hunter seems to have been a brilliant boy, and it would have been a privilege to meet him. I’m so sorry, and I will keep him in my prayers. May God bless him in Heaven and help his family and friends make it through this time. I’m sorry.
I miss you!

To Kayla,God did not take Hunter for a reason,and God did not need another angel.Long before we ever come to earth the Bible says we all have an appointed time to die.We never fully understand that especially when we lose a loved one.And losing a youngster must be the hardest of all.Hunter’s death did not catch God off guard or by suprise.We can trust that God will use every pain we bear to teach us about God’s love and mercy. To all of Hunters friends,be sure that God knows each and every one of you,he sees your pain and your tears.You may say you know God,but do you really? Go to a pastor or Christian adult,let them tell you of Jesus’s death on the cross for all of our sins and what we need to do to see Hunter again.We will never ever understand this death.We can rest assured that somehow God’s perfect has been done and somehow this wil bring honor and glory to God. Let this change the lives of each and everyone of you.Detemine to be a “Hunter”.Kind,loving,full of life and joy.What has been said here is the biggest trubute to Hunter.May we all follow his example.
miss you hunter your in the best place you could possibly be keep watching us and have fun up there will see you one day love you hunter and the fromm family is in my prayers
Our Hunter will be at Marcujs Pointe Baptist Church, Friday evening from 5 to 8. The service will be at Marcus Point at 1 oclock Sat afternoon. The Fromm family.
I didn’t know Hunter nor do I know his family. I have children of my own. I just can’t imagine what they are going thru. But to reconize a previous comment, “God never makes mistakes”. Trust in the Lord. He WILL bring you through this. My heart goes out to the Fromm family. You are in my prayers. God Bless!
that was beautiful Jim, god bless Hunter and his family.
Hunter was my grandson, my wrestling buddy, and snuggling buddy. When he stayed over, which was often, he was always the first one up. He used to sneak in the room and jump right on top of me and start giggling. We talked about everything. He told me his girl friends names and the crazy things he did. I taught him long division and was beginning to teach him how to sail. I told him he should play the bass, because his personality in conjunction with that crazy instrument would make him shine.
When I asked Hunter how it was going in Middle School, he said he loved it. I asked him what people thought of his hair. He said no one had hair like his when he first came to school, but there were a few imposters now. Hunter was teaching me the fine points of how to operate my computer and iphone.
Unfortunately there is no magic fix. Hunter had a special place in my life and I know I did in his.
Please let me take this moment to thank all of you for receiving Hunter into your lives and your school community when he was alive. You made him a happy child. And also thank you for posting all the nice articles about him. At first, reading them was excruciatingly painful. Now it is such a joy.
Learn from Hunter. Be yourself without reservation, be happy, kind, and truthful. Love life it will love you back in return. I wish I could say I taught him those things; and when I saw them I did encourage them. But I am not that smart, nor am I that good, that is who Hunter was.
Captain Jim Fromm, Grandpa.

LOVE Julissa Cortez
Hunter you will be missed.
But you are in a better place
You always mad people laugh when they were down
Hunter you are very spacial you will be missed
Hunter, you were such a little cutie pie. I have never seen my brother, Kyle Barbour, so upset about a friend. You were a great friend to him and an awesome ball player. I hope you enjoy the you tube video I made for you. I know everytime everyone hears the song “If I die young”, we’ll think of you. You made us realize that we all have a lot to be thankful for, and to cherish that everyday, for it may be your last. Don’t worry, your mom is being taken care of by my mom and all her other awesome co-workers. They are doing a fantastic job, you’d be proud. Like I said in your video, you’re in a place that gets no better, so spread those wings boy, and fly. RIP.
My daughter Madelyn attended elementary school with Hunter. He was always such a sweet and funny young man. Always had a smile on his face. Our family has struggled with this tragic event and pray for the Fromm family everyday. Hunter was a special person and we will always remember that smile and that hair!!
My heart goes out to your family in this time of loss.
Hunter was my BOYFRIEND ! He was funny & he made me laugh & smile . He was a PERFECT boyfriend & an AHHHHMAZZZINGGG friend . When i heard about the news i cried & cried & cried & i still do cry & cry & cry . Everyone keeps telling me that god took him for a reason & i know that but i just dont know what the reason is . Whenever i see something about him , i always think about the GREAT times that we had together. I love when i read something about him or think of him & i know that he is watching over me (: R.I.P Hunter Fromm . I love you forever & always <3 07.18.99 – 11.26.10 . FLY HIGH BABIIBOYY (:
I do not personally know the family, (my son Stevie knows Hunter and Tristan), but I cannot get them off my mind. I am so very sorry and pray for God to give them peace. I cannot begin to imagine what they are going through. Please, let’s all keep them in our prayers, that is the only thing that can help right now.
HUNTERRR FROMMMM , i did not know him personallyy but i knew him well enough to know he always made people laugh. i would have worn a checkered chirt on monday if i knew about it, but i only read about it today. i’ve heard alot of different stories on how he died but when someone told me how and he was like family to him i knew he was telling the truth. Hunter was well known and always people laugh. he was a jokester(: . i started crying the first time i heard of his death i cried alot!!ao HUNTERR you will never be forgetten. you will always be loved and be in our heats FOREVERRR especally MINE..

Hunter, the past few nights have been hard for me, knowing your not here, But, i know your in the place of God’s hands. Still wish you were down here. I love and miss you so much <3
Im Sorry For You’re Loss. It Is Very Tragic For You To Loose You’re Child When He Is Just So Young, I Wnet To His Church But Never Knew Him Formally. Please Take Comfort To Know That He Is Home, Though Not Home With You.You’re Son Is Such A Nice And Funny Person To Be With And I’ll Miss Him.
No doubt he is walking on the streets of gold..good looking kid too !! We lost a 7 year old granddaughter…I know a little about how the family is feeling…just have to trust in our LORD…he does not make mistakes…hope the entire family walks a little closer to GOD from here on out…SO SAD
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to this family. May God take care of the Fromm family through this difficult time. God Bless You All!
The Kaul Family
As I walk down the halls of Ransom Middle School , everywhere I look , I see the beautiful smiling face of Michael Hunter Fromm. You were a perfect boy , you never lied , you never cheated and most of all you never hated anyone , for anything. God needed an angel and he couldn’t have picked a better one. We all love you and miss you deeply. I’ve been crying for the past few days but then I realized , you always had a smile on your face and looking down on us I’m sure you would just want us to be smiling back. This couldn’t have been easy for the Fromm family or Kayla Olsen , his loving girlfriend. I’m very sorry this happened and I wish we could bring Hunter back.
We will always love you and remember you baby boii. <3
sorry for your loss
just wanted to give a thumbs up to the helmet comment, but to clear this up this family always wears helmets when riding. hunter was not riding he was horsing around with a horse so to speak and fell . this could have happened without a horse involved at all . just wanted to clear this . just please watch comments i know everyone means well but put yourself in their place even well meant comments hurt. maybe we could just send our love to the family and how great and wonderful hunter was , and how many lives he touched on his short time with us . i think the should have, could have , would have, helps no one . god bless.
im going to do my hair like his nw
Very sad and tragic. Im so sorry. I don’t know if this beautiful young boy was wearing a helmet or not. Either way we can all bring away hard reminders that may prevent a heartbreaking accident.
Maybe all his friends and everyone reading this site will use this terrible incident as a reminder to ALWAYS ALWAYS wear your helmet!! Whether on a horse, atv, motorcycle or bicycle, you MUST wear a helmet. It can definately save your life. And i have seen the consequences when a helmet has not been worn. Many prayers to the family and friends.
So cute…. I wonder who he would
Hugs little man…rest in peace.
We want to thank all the children and the community for their overwhelming love and support . We always knew Hunter was special. It’s so heartwarming to know that he was able to touch so many others. He was our Hunterbug. When he was little he said “I not Hunnerbug I Hunner. He didn’t pronounce the T for a long time. Our greatful thank you to all the Fromm’s
hunter i will miss you… u always made people laugh….
