Our precious little man, McCrae Hunter Bodily (Crae Crae) 3 years old, returned to his Heavenly Father on Saturday, March 13, 2021. His departure from his loving family was due to a tragic accident. McCrae was a fun loving, radiant little child who lived every moment to it's fullest. He adored his big brother Maverick with whom he wrestled, chased and played without tiring. He loved tractors, excavators, bulldozers and everything he could find to play in the dirt. He loved his sandbox and mud and seized upon every opportunity, no matter how cold, how early or how late in the day, to be out there in it. He was thrilled to watch his dad dig with the excavator, moving dirt. He loved driving his gator to Grandma and Grandpa's house. For Christmas he got a red battery-powered 4-wheeler and a red helmet. Red was his favorite color. They were his pride and joy and he drove all over the field and his yard. He also got a hover board and within hours was a pro at maneuvering it anywhere he wanted to go in the house saying “faster, faster!” McCrae enjoyed helping on the family farm in Lewiston, feeding cows and doing chores, riding tractors and fishing on the river. He loved camping and going on family rides in the Teryx, aka the “T-Rex.” He loved Bear lake and enjoyed kayaking and swimming with his family. He loved playing sports with his brother including football, basketball, soccer and his new love, baseball. He also loved animals. He enjoyed feeding chickens with Grandma Julie and gathering eggs, and watching tractor videos on Grandma's phone. McCrae was also loving and kind. He was free with hugs and free with cookies, making sure everyone had one before indulging himself. He was observant, learned quickly and loved to help. He was a bright light in all our lives. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. He especially loved his home, his Mom and Dad and his brother. He loved watching his favorite movies and snuggling with his family, especially Mom. They were a happy family who enjoyed many fun adventures together. We cherish his memory and the time we were blessed to share with him. He will be missed every hour, every day!
McCrae is survived by his parents, Tony and Melissa, his brother, Maverick; his grandparents, Steve and Vicki Bodily, Boyd and Julie Pugmire; aunts and uncles: Kent (Jessica) Bodily, Bart (Kate) Bodily, Jacob (Natalie) Pugmire, Adeline Pugmire, Talisha Pugmire, Zachary Pugmire, Cassee Pugmire, Kierra Pugmire, Jocelyn Pugmire; and his adoring Bodily cousins; Paisley, Willa, Beau, Dagon, Brinley, Heidi, Jenna, Grace.
