All aboard for a final tribute to Hunter William Bristow, our little conductor of joy, who embarked on his eternal journey on February 22, 2024, from Lititz, Pennsylvania. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 7, 2012. Hunter’s track through life was marked by wisdom, bravery, strength, love, and laughter. He was a true fighter, navigating the twists and turns of life with the spirit of a locomotive—full steam ahead.

Hunter’s love for all things railroad was no mere fleeting fancy; he was a bona fide rail fan. From watching the mighty locomotives chug along to playing with toy and model trains, his enthusiasm never waned. He was the engineer of fun on Roblox, sharing many a virtual adventure with his Nonna, cousins, and his dedicated nurse, Janine. His friendship with Sawyer took flight, soaring through the skies on the wings of airplanes, while his admiration for the animal kingdom had him hiss-terically happy around his slithery reptile friends.

This young man leaves behind a caboose full of family: his loving parents Daniel and Shannon (Campbell) Bristow, brother Brooks Bristow, and a fleet of grandparents; Donna Campbell & Herland Frias, Gary & Jan Campbell, Bernard & Brenda Meadows, and David Bristow, along with all of his aunts, uncles and cousins. Hunter was preceded in death by his great grandparents, four great uncles, and an aunt, Joyce Bristow.

Celebrate Hunter’s journey with us on Wednesday, March 6th, 2024, at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home, located at 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Visitation will be from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, with a service beginning at 4:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Hunter’s honorto Make-A-WishPhiladelphia, Delaware, & Susquehanna Valley Chapter, or Phoenix Assistance Dogs of Central PA.

Hunter’s memory will be a signal of joy in the hearts of those he leaves behind. May his soul rest in peace, in the first-class carriage of heaven.
