Emily Faith Hampton of Spirit Lake, Idaho went to be with her Lord and Savior November 27, 2019 due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.  She joined her loving father, John William Hampton, who passed away on November 24, 2019 due to injuries sustained in the same accident.

Emily leaves behind many family members and friends who mourn her loss. Emily is survived by her mother, Dawn Hampton and five year old sister, Alexis of the home; brother and sister-in-law, Josh and Katie Hampton, nephew Connor, and niece Rowan of Sierra Vista, AZ; brother, Vadim Hampton of Phoenix, AZ; sister, Svetlana Hampton of Phoenix, AZ; and her fur-brothers Sherlock and Watson of the home.

Emily leaves behind a large extended family who loved her so very much: grandmother and grandfather, Pam and Chris Parmenter of Maricopa, AZ; grandfather and grandmother, Larry and Barbara Hampton of Sun City, AZ; grandfather and grandmother, Mark and Lindy Marshall of Boise, ID; great-grandmother, Betty Ferguson of Apache Junction, AZ; great-grandmother, Florence Kelly of Lincoln, CA; aunt and uncle, Brandy and Peter Naleski of Chandler, AZ; uncle and aunt, Jacob and Robyn Marshall of Phoenix, AZ; aunt and uncle, Mary and Larry Howe of Clemmons, NC; uncle and aunt, Wade and Darlann Hampton of Phoenix, AZ; uncle, Thomas Hampton of Sun City, AZ; uncle and aunt, David and Julie Hampton of Fountain Hills, AZ; uncle and aunt, James and Angie Hampton of Monroe, MI; and a large host of cousins scattered throughout the country. Emily was predeceased by her loving father, John William Hampton and grandmother, Charlotte Rogers Hampton Heir.

Emily, who was only eight years old, left a legacy far greater than many who have lived much longer on this earth. Six lives were forever changed by the gift of Emily's organs. Emily loved playing with her little sister (as long as she got to be the boss) and they were the very best of friends. Emily was a kind and compassionate friend. She would write encouraging cards and notes and loved to give little random gifts. Emily loved animals and was always rescuing another kitten (or seven).  Her puppy Watson slept with her every night as she was crazy in love with him. Her Saint Bernard Sherlock was ever her protector during her adventures on the family property. Her love for Jesus came as naturally to her as the air she breathed and was evident in her daily life and in the way she responded to those around her. All who knew and loved Emily are forever changed by her imprint on their lives.

Emily displayed a brilliance far beyond her years in creative writing skills. She loved to write chapter stories, praise music and create activity learning games. She loved to watch TV together with her family. Her favorite shows were Heartland, Little House on the Prairie, The Brady Bunch, Disney Movies and anything that involved animals.

Emily will live on in all the lives of those who loved her, but more importantly, she lives on eternally with her Heavenly Father and her Daddy, John. She and Daddy are running together, taking care of all the lost animals in heaven, going on trail walks, enjoying hot tubs, having sleepovers in each other's mansions and singing each other's musical creations.  Rest in peace sweet baby girl until we meet again in the blink of an eye. We love you!

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13.
