It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dennis Lee Hill, of San Angelo. Dennis passed away peacefully, in his home surrounded by family, at the age of 74 on March 19, 2025.
He was born August 25, 1950, in Benton Illinois, to Thomas Lee Hill Sr. And Dorothy Hill. Dennis is survived by his devoted, loving wife of 56 years, Kay Hill, and their children, Lori Hill Stokes, Barbara Hill Lowrey, and Shaun Perry. As well as his Brothers and Sisters-in-Law, Larry and Olga Hill, Tommy and Kathy Hill, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his Mother and Father, Thomas and Dorothy Hill, his Sister and Brother-in-Law, Sharon, and Glenn Berrong, as well as his Son-in-Law, Everett Vance Stokes. Dennis, better known by many as Pa, was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and brother.
Dennis made a life for himself and his family in the oilfields of Odessa, Texas. Among many other roles over the years, most notably, he was a supervisor at Charles George for over 25 years, during this time he made many lifelong friends and connections. Dennis was a gentle soul, known for his unwavering love for his family and friends. He had a remarkable ability to see the good in everyone and always offered a kind word or a listening ear. His love was boundless, and he cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Growing up in Palacios, TX he became an avid fisherman, always finding joy in the quiet moments by the water, where he could reflect and connect with nature. He also had a passion for baking, and he generously shared his famous cream horns or Texas sheet cake with anyone who crossed his path. The family would like to extend their sincerest appreciation to Angels Care Home Health and Gentiva Hospice.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Harper Funeral Home at 1 pm. Dennis’s love and compassion will not be forgotten soon but will be carried forth by all those who remember him.
