In Loving Memory of

Hunter Keagan Hymas**

*September 20, 2003 – February 14, 2026*

Hunter Keagan Hymas, 22, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on February 14, 2026, at his home in Afton, Wyoming. He was born on September 20, 2003, in Afton, Wyoming, to David Leroy Hymas and Kara (Corson) Hymas.

Hunter was a quiet and reserved soul with a heart far bigger than most ever knew. From the time he was a toddler, his love for animals was unmistakable—so much so that his family once caught him trying to eat off the floor like the family dog. Throughout his life, he always had a dog by his side—his loyal and constant best friends.

He found peace and happiness in the outdoors. Whether hunting, fishing, or simply spending time in Wyoming's wide-open country, Hunter felt most at home beneath the big sky. He was mechanically inclined and gifted with his hands, always drawn to fixing, building, and understanding how things worked.

Hunter attended school in Cody and Afton, Wyoming. Though he did not graduate from high school, he went on to earn his GED—an accomplishment he worked hard to achieve and was proud of.

In high school, Hunter met the love of his life. They were blessed to share eight years together, building a bond filled with love, loyalty, and devotion.

Family meant everything to Hunter. While he had many friends, his very best friend was his sister, Kaibrie Dawn Hymas, just two years younger than him. As children, they fought like cats and dogs, but as they grew older, their bond became unbreakable. They shared laughter, loyalty, and a deep sibling love that will forever remain.

Hunter is survived by his father, David Hymas; his mother, Kara Hymas; his sister, Kaibrie Dawn Hymas; his grandfather, Eugene John Corson; his grandmother, Nancy Peay; grandparents his uncle, Wade Corson (Tawnee and children, Tayla, Waverly, and Wrenley); his aunt, Gina Corson; and his cousins, Angel Leavitt, Zoey Leavitt, and Taryn Gomez.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Megan Kay Hymas; his grandfather, LeRoy Hymas; Grandmother Jeannie Hymas; his aunt, Dawn Astle; his great-grandparents, Glenn and Ruby Corson; his uncle, Aaron Eugene Corson; and his infant cousin, Casey Corson.

A family viewing will be held at Schwab Mortuary in Afton, Wyoming, on Friday, February 20, from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. A graveside dedication will follow at the Afton Cemetery at 2:00 p.m. the same day.

In lieu of flowers or food, donations are welcome to assist with funeral expenses. A memorial account has been established at Bank of Star Valley.

Hunter will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his steady hands, his love of animals and the outdoors, and the quiet strength he carried throughout his life. Though he spoke softly, he loved deeply. His memory will live on in the mountains he roamed, the dogs who adored him, and the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Forever loved. Forever missed.
