David Hilliard Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 4, 2020.
David Alan Hilliard, born in Butler, Pennsylvania, passed away at the age of 67 on July 4th, 2020 at his residence in Cleveland, Ohio. He is preceded in death by his father, Thomas Richard Hilliard; mother, Marilyn Betty Hilliard of Butler, Pennsylvania; and his brother, Robert Alden Hilliard, of Butler, Pennsylvania. Dave is survived by his son, Ian Slee of Ohio; sister, Leona Hilliard of Florida; brother Thomas Hilliard of Pennsylvania; and nephews Nathan and Noah Hilliard. Dave was successful in a variety of fields, including: a car salesman at Butler County Ford; a Counselor for Vision Quest; a Food Broker in both Philadelphia and Cleveland; and lastly as a City Building Inspector for the City of Cleveland. Dave had a lifelong interest in cars and was an excellent mechanic. He loved Volvo's and motorcycles, especially his Anniversary Edition Harley Davidson. Dave loved the outdoors. From an early age at any opportunity that presented itself, Dave spent as much time as possible at the family camp near Marienville, the same one where his father taught him to hunt as a child. Between the family memories and the mostly true stories exaggerated by a few beers Dave shared with his buddies there, Camp is truly where his heart belonged. Dave's friends are planning a celebration of his life at a later date.
