Hunter Thomas Vestal
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Hunter Thomas Vestal, 35, resident of Seabrook, Texas. He began his eternal life on February 9, 2026. Hunter was born in Houston, Texas to proud and loving parents, Joe and Susan Vestal, on March 7, 1990.
Hunter is survived by his parents; wife, Emily; children, Colt, Mia, Emma & Benton; sisters, Jessica (Nick) & Jennifer; nieces, Kaleigh (Jorge) & Aubree; nephews, Trent, Logan, & Jove; grandfather, Barney Cearley; as well as numerous extended family and friends. He is proceeded in death by his “Nannie”, Anna Vestal; “E-Maw”, Janice Cearley; and “PawPaw”, Joe Vestal.
In his younger years, Hunter loved sports and adventure. He played basketball throughout junior high and high school, forming lifelong friendships and lasting memories. He had a passion for racing, traveling to race cars and spending time at the track. Hunter was adventurous at heart, always living life with energy and excitement.
Hunter’s greatest joy in life was his children. He was the best dad and always prioritized the kids by planning activities, playing outside, attending practices/games, and making sure that everyone knew how much he loved them. You would often hear him talking about how much he loved his “Big Brady Bunch Family” and showing pictures of everyone together. Hunter loved to be outside – specifically by the water, fishing/crabbing on the pier, listening to Morgan Wallen in his truck and on the golf cart, traveling with his wife & kids, and spending countless hours at the neighborhood pool.
In his honor, a visitation will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 11:00am-12:00pm, immediately followed by a service at 12:00pm in the Crowder Funeral Home Chapel, Webster, Texas.
To The Family,
Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4″And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever.

To the Vestal family,
My condolences to you all. Hunter was a good athlete and a teammate I looked up to in baseball at BACS. I wish I would have kept in touch after high school, but it was always good to see pictures of him and the family.
May the Lord bless you all and the children.
Sincerely,
Michael Medwedeff

Ms. Vestal, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and we pray for incredible peace throughout this most difficult time. You are Melodys heart and prayers.
Hunter and I had countless days getting in trouble together growing up. From breaking into the BACS gym on mornings when we’d carpool to school, to building potato cannons in the backyard, to spending days on end at Astroworld we created memories that are some of the most vivid of my childhood. Though we went our separate ways after high school, I am incredibly grateful for the time Hunter was in my life.
To his parents and sisters, thank you for the happiness you facilitated in my life by letting me spend time with Hunter, those days will never be forgotten. My heart breaks for you, his children, and all of his friends and family, I hope you find peace in your memories of Hunter and your love for one another.
Hunter, I hope it was nothing but a chicken wing on a string from Burger King. Thanks for all the laughs.
Dear Vestal family,
We are truly sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincere condolences. May love bless you all today and always.
Vestal Family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. It has been some years since we last saw each other, but I have always remembered him as having a smile that would light up his whole face and THE most contagious laugh. I will keep all of you in my prayers. May God comfort you all.
Alisa and SON’s Kyle, Casey and Cody Cearley sending our love and condolences at this difficult time. May he fly high into the heavens, straight in the arms of Jesus❤️ wishing all of the family, peace, and comfort.
