To my uncle, Don-you carried the role of eldest brother with grace, strength, and a heart full of love. You showed up over the years not just with words, but with presence-checking in, including me, and making sure I always knew I was part of the family. You led by example-with quiet consistency and a love that was steadfast and sincere. To know you was to love you. Your legacy lives on in the bonds you helped build, and I will miss you always.

He wasn’t just Don Hill the auctioneer — he was so much more. My grandfather was a man of strong faith and unwavering belief, a true entrepreneur, and someone who knew how to love you exactly as you were. He treated everyone with fairness, kindness, and respect.
I thank God for blessing me with a Grandpa who always loved me, supported me, and believed in me. I’ll forever be grateful for the time we shared and the lessons he left with me.
