MANCHESTER – A New Hampshire Institute of Art freshman died on his 19th birthday from complications of pneumonia, according to an obituary on Poststar.com.(See Below)
Corbin T. Hunter of Cambridge, N.Y., a freshman at NHIA studying to become an art teacher, died Sunday at Elliot Hospital.
The college reported a student's death on Monday but did not identify him or the illness. All college spokesman Jessica Kinsey said the student became ill last week and went to the hospital for medication but his illness "spiraled out of control very quickly."
According to his obituary, Hunter loved the outdoors and was known to spend days in a tireless pursuit of the next "big one" deer, fish or fowl. He also was remembered for ridding his grandmother's garden of woodchucks.
A photograph of Hunter with a slain deer is on Facebook, where friends and relatives have posted comments on a page dedicated to his memory.
He was a gifted artist fond of drawing studies of animals and fish, reminiscent of Winslow Homer.
His parents, Katherine J. McNeice of Cambridge and Bryan Hunter of Ticonderoga, N.Y., said in a statement they wanted their son to be remembered for "his profound love and commitment to his family, his passion for the life around him and his pleasure gained from all that is natural and simply good in this world. He was a bright treasure in our lives that will be so deeply missed."
Services are planned for Friday, Feb. 20, at 3 p.m. at New Skete Monastery Holy Wisdom Temple, New Skete Road, Cambridge.
In lieu of flowers, tax deductible contributions in Cory's name may be sent to the Agricultural Stewardship Association, c/o ASA, 28 R Main St., Greenwich, N.Y. 12834. The contribution will be matched by the Conservation Fund.

Cambridge --
Corbin
Taylor
Hunter, much
loved son of

Bryan
Hunter,

19 years
old. Cory is
survived by
his maternal
grandparents,
Donald and
Virginia
McNeice and
paternal
grandparents,
John Hunter
and Emily
O'Hara.
Cory was
adored for
his
remarkable
sense of
compassion
for his
friends and
family, his
relentless
efforts to
tease and
entertain
everyone and
his ability
to make true
connections
with people.
His love for
the outdoors
was known to
all who knew
him as his
days were
spent in
tireless
pursuit of
the next
"big one"
deer, fish
or fowl.
Ridding
Grandma's
garden of
woodchucks
was just as
satisfying.
The stories
that
followed
each
adventure
were as
vibrant and
witty as
Cory. They
will serve
as our
memories for
a future
day.
He was a
gifted
artist, fond
of drawing
studies of
animals and
fish,
reminiscent
of Winslow
Homer. He
was a
freshman at
the New
Hampshire
Institute of
Art,
studying to
become a
teacher.
With a
natural
affection
for children
and through
guidance
from his
aunt, Annie
McNeice,
teaching
became his
natural
path.
In his
parent's
words, "We
wish Cory to
be
remembered
for his
profound
love and
commitment
to his
family, his
passion for
the life
around him
and his
pleasure
gained from
all that is
natural and
simply good
in this
world. He
was a bright
treasure in
our lives
that will be
so deeply
missed."
