David T. Hill
HILL, David T. — Age 37, of Roseburg, Oregon. David passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, May 19, 2005, at a local hospital. Dave was brought into this world February 18, 1968, in Redlands, California. In 1976, Dave moved with his family to Roseburg. Dave had a close-knit family that included his mother, Sandy Hill; father, L.T. Hill; and sister, Ronda Williams. Dave was a highly active child that kept his mother, father, and sister busy trying to keep up with him. It was evident early on that Dave had a great deal of courage and tenacity. He competed in many sports growing up, and loved to hunt, fish, shoot, and kayak. There was nothing Dave was afraid to try. Sandy, of course, was always concerned with Dave's often reckless "afraid of nothing" attitude. Dave graduated from Roseburg High School in 1987, and it was no surprise to his family when he announced his enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps. Tragically, just prior to entering basic training, Dave was involved in a horrific motorcycle accident that nearly killed him and left him paralyzed from the waist down. Dave's courage and strength immediately showed through getting him out of rehabilitation in half the predicted time. Determined, Dave never complained about his condition or allowed it to stop him from doing the things he loved. He continued to hunt and fish using an ATV for mobility. He loved his yearly elk hunting trip with is father and uncles. Dave went to school and earned an Associates degree, held down a full time job at Roseburg Forest Products, and purchased his own home. Dave had a very close relationship with his mother and was devastated by her untimely death in 2000. Persevering, Dave continued living an independent lifestyle and enjoyed the close relationship of his remaining family. In 2003, Dave became a full time student at Northwest Christian College and was a few weeks away from receiving his Bachelor’s degree at the time of his death. David was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was the epitome of strength and courage and will be missed by all who knew him. David is survived by his father, L.T. Hill of Roseburg; sister, Ronda WIlliams and her husband, Jim of Milwaukie, Oregon; niece, Stephanie Williams; grandmother, Zepha Snyder of Albany, Oregon; and many loving aunts, uncles, and their families. There will be a memorial service held on May 28, 2005, at 1 p.m. at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses in Roseburg. Private cremation arrangements will be provided. WILSON'S CHAPEL OF THE ROSES is in charge of arrangements.
