Timothy Dwayne Hill

Timothy Dwayne Hill, son of Willard and Donna Hill, was born on June 20, 1968, at Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston. He passed from this life on August 6, 2024, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, at the age of 56. Tim graduated with the Mountain Grove High School Class of 1986. Following high school, Tim began working at Tobin Hamilton shoe factory and worked there until they closed. He then went to truck driving school and began working at Wakes Trucking Company. From there, he went to Cedar Creek Trucking Company and eventually Westside Trucking Company, where he worked until retiring. After retiring from trucking, Tim went on to becoming the best “Bigfoot” hunting storyteller, Civil War lover, and wood carving junkie that anyone could ever have the privilege of knowing. He was an amazing son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle and friend. He was always one phone call away and could be counted on as the first to show up. Everyone who came in contact with Tim, but couldn’t remember his name, would remember his most frequent quote, “I hear that, I tell ya.”
Tim was preceded in death by his grandparents, Anthony and Harriet Hill, and Earnest and Elenore Smith. Tim is survived by his parents, Willard and Donna Hill, of Mountain Grove; his brother, Tracy Hill and wife, Traci, of Mountain Grove; two nieces, Toschia Hill, of Mountain Grove, and Trestyn Mesimer and husband, James, of Falcon; two great-nieces, Madyson and Maliegha Mesimer, of Falcon; and three great-nephews, Mavrick, Mason and Maddex Mesimer, of Falcon. Tim will be loved and missed by many other relatives and close friends. Graveside services were held at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, 2024, with Bro. Denver Cottengim officiating. Special songs were “Go Rest High On That Mountain” and “Amazing Grace.” Tracy Hill, Denver Cottengim, Charlie Brooks, Rusty Bradshaw, Jeff Sinning and James Mesimer served as pallbearers. Burial was in the Broyles Cemetery, Hartville, under the direction of the Craig-Hurtt Funeral Home of Mountain Grove. Online Condolences: www.craighurttfuneralhome.com.
