“It is with a very heavy heart that we can confirm that Hunter Palmer, senior at Wisner-Pilger Schools, has died,” the school said in a statement.

“It is important for parents to check in on their children during this difficult time. Grief is very complicated and can affect each child differently,” the school posted.

Palmer was also the third-lap runner in his high school’s 1,600-meter relay team, which finished second.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Palmer family, friends, and the Wisner-Pilger community. Our staff really enjoyed recruiting Hunter. He was a dynamic young man who was an absolute pleasure to be around. Hunter was someone so special and will never be forgotten.”

“Hunter is gone way too soon. May you rest in eternal peace Hunter. We miss you already,” the statement concluded.

According to his obituary, Palmer also enjoyed golf, wrestling and baseball.

“He loved hanging out with friends, driving around, watching Netflix, lifting weights, singing, and drinking Dr. Pepper. His favorite teams were the Green Bay Packers and Clemson Tigers,” the obituary said.
