Hunter Aaron Paul Coco, 21, was born in Ferriday, Louisiana on June 30, 2000, to Barry Coco and Michelle Johnston. Hunter grew up in San Marcos, Texas frequently visiting family in Louisiana. Hunter passed away on June 20, 2022, with his brother Jonathon Coco in the line of duty as a Firefighter for the Maxwell Community Volunteer Fire Department.

Hunter joined the Maxwell Community Volunteer Fire Department in 2020 after being recruited by his brother, Jonathon. He was a valued member of MCVFD who devoted a lot of his time to serving the community. As a firefighter he was the kind of person you would want by your side. He was dependable, hard-working, and quick to jump in wherever needed. He never questioned “why?”, he just helped without hesitation. Hunter was extremely selfless and always put others ahead of himself. Anyone that knew him would describe him as quiet and reserved until you got to know him. He had a happy-go-lucky attitude and was rarely seen without a smile on his face. His smile and laugh were truly genuine and indicative of his kind, gentle nature. 

Outside of being a firefighter, Hunter was an avid outdoorsman where he enjoyed hunting and fishing but also had a fervent passion for gaming. He was known to have a love for sweet tea, fast cars and burn outs! He loved his fiancé, Allyssa, unconditionally since he first met her in middle school. The love they had for each other was described as a two-way street that was pure and authentic. Hunter always knew he would marry Allyssa from the beginning, and they were set to be married this week. Above all, Hunter’s favorite role was being a father to Paisley, 1, and it was a role he played fantastically. The love he had for his little girl was unadulterated.
