Herbert Hill Obituary

Published by Carlton T. Brooks Funeral Home from Jun. 29 to Jul. 1, 2010.
HILL, Herbert Lewis II, took his Father's hand to live a life of eternal peace on Sunday, June 27, 2010. Herbert was born March 4, 1969. He accepted Christ at an early age. He graduated from Manchester High School in 1987. Herb, Herbie, Sampson and House as we all knew him or called him something different, loved music. He played the guitar (bass, electric and acoustic), piano and drums by ear and notes and was self taught. He loved his family and was a comedian at heart. He could make the worst day of your life seem like the best just after a few minutes of conversation. He was preceded in death by his father, Herbert Lewis Hill. He leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Ruby B. Hill; two daughters, Kiara S. Hill (Mary Helton - mother) and Cameron M. Hill (Tiyia Hill - mother); three sisters, Joyce Willoughby, Kathy Clarke and Suzen Hill (Johnson); two aunts, Laura B. Overton and Irene Brackett; one nephew, Sean D. Johnson Jr.; and one niece, Jazmyn D. Johnson; as well as a host of devoted cousins, other relatives and friends. Remains rest at Carlton T. Brooks Funeral Home, 2200 Hull St. Funeral services will be held Friday 11 a.m. at Mt. Gilead Full Gospel International Ministry, 2501 Mt. Gilead Blvd., where remains will lie in state at 10 a.m. Dr. Ervin Harvey officiating. Family and friends attending services assemble at the church Friday 10:30 a.m.

I played in a band with Herb for a short while. He quit to fulfill a higher calling. I can't remember meeting him because he was so friendly and made us all laugh with little effort, it seems he was a friend my whole life. May his soul rest in peace and may God comfort the hearts of his family and friends. He was a great person to know and I will cherish the memories of his beautiful guitar playing and his charming smile.

I went to elementary school with Herbie. I was very sad to hear about his passing. Although I haven't seen him for years, I have fond memories of his friendship and the time we spent at school together. My sympathy goes out to the family and to all that loved him.

To Suzen & Family,
We cannot express how sorry we are to hear about your brother. I know that this may be a very difficult time for you, but I pray that you and your family will all be comforted by the Holy Spirit. I didn't know Herbie very well on a personal level, but my son remembers him taking time to play ball with them when they would go to Mrs. Crumps house after school. Remember the good times you two had together and know that he is in a better place.

With love,
Tamanda & Kelvin
