Hunter's Light Shines on with Christy Defilippo

Hunter Burns was a 22 year old young man with a bright future ahead of him. He was kind, loved Jesus and would light up any room! 

 

March 1, 2020 Hunter was killed when his vehicle veered into a guardrail and instead of deflecting him back to the road it actually propelled his truck resulting in his death and that is now a profound grief for his family, loved ones and friends. 

 

Three years later the family received a call that was life changing that is when it became evident that the poorly designed guardrail was to blame for the loss of their son. Christy is now determined to prevent other families from enduring the pain of such loss.

 

Realizing that this process of investigation is arduous she continues to be relentless in her pursuit of justice for her son’s untimely and senseless death.

 

It has become apparent that there is incompetence with the standard of installation of guardrails in Florida, Louisiana and Texas and many other states.

 

Christy is determined to prevent other families from enduring the pain of such loss. 

 

Christy and her family will not stop, in honor of her son until the roads are safer and she knows the contractors who build guardrails are properly trained and forced to be accountable. Though the loss of Hunter was preventable, his legacy and spirit will live on in the unwavering fight for safer roadways and a more just society!
