September 20, 1989 – December 1, 2024
It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Harrison Paul Huntoon on December 1, 2024, at the age of 35. Harrison was born and raised in the Vail Valley and graduated from Battle Mountain High School, where he made lasting memories as a member of the cross country, track, and nordic teams and the theater group. He graduated from Colorado State University in 2012, where he majored in biochemistry and microbiology.
Harrison was well known for his kind, compassionate nature, and his ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued. Science fostered his interest in cooking and creating recipes. He was an incredible friend, devoted son, loving brother, and proud uncle. Harrison’s generosity and care for those around him left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his loving parents, Janet and Paul Huntoon, his sister and brother-in-law, Amanda and Taylor Gray, niece and nephew, Adeline and Anderson Gray, and his rescue beagle, Titan.
He was deeply loved and will forever be missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
