Hunter Lee Schmidt, 17, of Rossville, Kansas, formerly of Ocean Gate, New Jersey, passed away tragically on September 3rd in a dirt bike accident, leaving this world while doing something he loved. He spent many joyful years in Manalapan and Ocean Gate before recently relocating to Kansas. During his senior year, Hunter attended Rossville High School, where he continued to make lasting memories with friends and classmates.

Hunter was the type of person we all aspire to be. He was a devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He lit up every room he entered and had a unique ability to connect with everyone, from the youngest child to the oldest adult. His warm personality and infectious smile could brighten anyone's day.

An enthusiastic outdoorsman, Hunter had a deep passion for hunting, fishing, dirt biking, welding, ranching, and working on his truck. His adventurous spirit was only matched by his love for those around him. He shared a special bond with his father, Christopher Schmidt, who was not only his dad but also his best friend and they were each others Hero’s.

He is survived by his father, Christopher Schmidt, and his girlfriend, Jenn Lachcik, along with her children, Diego and Brooklyn. Hunter is remembered fondly by his grandmothers, Kathy Graves and Mary Ann Schmidt; uncles, Michael Graves and his wife Stefanie, and Matthew Schmidt and his wife Nancy; aunt Jessica Ferino and her husband Scott; as well as his seven beloved cousins, Ryan, Lily, Thomas, Caroline, Henry, Parker, and Greyson. He also leaves behind his mother, Melanie Alburtus and her husband James; his brother, Anthony Boud; and stepbrother, Camden Alburtus.

Hunter was preceded in death by both grandfathers, Richard Schmidt and Michael Graves.
