Bryan Hiler Obituary

Bryan Paul Hiler of Wakarusa, Indiana, went home to be with the Lord on June 9, 2025, following a brief illness. He was 47.

Bryan is survived by his parents, Jack and Kathy Hiler, and his brothers Eric (Debbie) Hiler and Jeremy (Katie) Hiler. "Uncle B." is also survived by his 10 nieces and nephews.

Bryan graduated from Grace College with a degree in business and spent many years working in the family business at Stripco Inc. of Mishawaka. Bryan then moved on to many interests, such as his love for animals, raising hogs and cattle, woodworking, metalworking, designing and making stained glass, and watchmaking.

The family would like to thank the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff in the ICU at Memorial Hospital. The compassion and care provided there made a difference for Bryan and the whole family.

Visitation for Bryan will be held at Osceola Grace at 58343 Apple Road, Osceola, IN 46561, on Friday June 13, from 3 to 5 p.m. with the memorial service at 5 p.m. and dinner immediately following. He will be interred at Chapel Memorial Gardens in a private graveside service.

I remember Bryan from the Stripco days. He was always thinking of new ideas, and was easy to talk to. I know he will be missed and my prayers, heart, and love goes out to the family. Gopher aka Santa.
