Hunter Elliott Marlow, 19, of Mount Vernon, Illinois, passed away October 2, 2021. He was born March 15, 2002 in Mount Vernon to Ryan Marlow and Amanda (Purnell).

Hunter is survived by his father, Ryan Marlow and wife, Brandi of Mount Vernon; mother, Amanda Bathon and husband, Christopher of Mount Vernon; siblings, Breonna Wolff and husband, Brandon, Elijah Marlow, Hailei Marlow, Chalin Bathon, and Wren Bathon; grandparents, Larry and Debbie Marlow, Neal and Kaye Purnell, and Raymond and Julia Bathon, and Jerome and Denise Tobin; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Hunter was a 2020 graduate from Webber Township High School. He worked at Continental Tire. Hunter was a member of Epworth United Methodist Church. He loved fishing, and being outdoors. Most of all, Hunter loved spending time with his family and friends. He will never be forgotten.

For such a short time, he left an impact on everyone he came in contact with. No amount of words on paper could do him justice. So much hope, joy, with a bright future and hunger for life. Definitely a life unfinished.
