David Hiner Obituary
David C. Hiner of Blairsville, GA, and Naples, FL., was welcome into his heavenly home on September 3. He will be lovingly remembered as a faithful man of God, a cherished husband and son, and a forever friend to many. Dave lived life to the fullest with his fun-loving spirit, genereous heart, and insatiable appetite for adventure. He loved traveling coast-to-coast with his wife of 47 years, seeking new places to explore and enjoy God’s beautiful creations. Dave proudly served his country as a member of the United States Coast Guard. His generous personality and contagious laughter will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife; Linda Jo, mother; Betty Hiner Mulford of Venice, FL., aunt & uncle; Nancy & Ron Hiner of Toccoa, GA., a sister-in-law; Annette Fairchild, one nephew; Brandon, and cousins; Jeff Hiner, Laurie Barnes, and Cari Duttlinger. Dave was preceded in death by his father; Royal William Hiner, and one brother; John Mark Hiner.
A memorial service is planned for the future. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Homestead Hospice of Blairsville.
Mountain View Funeral Home of Blairsville is in charge of the arrangements. You may sign the family guest book and send condolences online at www.mountainviewfuneralhome.com

JO, 50 years ago I learned by the example set by the 2 of you that life is wonderful & should be embraced every single day! I know that your example continues to serve me to this day! I still remember the exact moment that Dave introduced me to Al & Diane and got me my very first job at Vater's Hardware & I am still grateful for that! Take care of yourself. Love & prayers for you from sunny Southern California!

Dave~ we are missing you already! Where’s our next trip going to be? It’s really hard to top this last on to the East Coast. I guess you took the next trip alone. You will always be in our hearts and forever on our minds!! Dolly & Bob Burt

Dave, as well as Jo, are wonderful friends! When they lived here in Naples, we saw them often and dined around Naples many times. Dave was one of the nicest and most sincere men we've ever known. We are proud to have been a part of Dave's life, and we offer our deepest sympathies to Jo and the Hiner family and friends.

It's so difficult to put our feelings into words, the news of Dave's passing was a blow and our hearts go out to you, Jo, and your family and Dave's. Words just don't seem adequate at this time...So many great memories with the two of you and Lynn and Dave on the boat, pruning the back yard, pot luck dinners, laughter, motorcycles, Dave always working at the house, the condos, nurturing Ryan and helping to make him the man he is today. I'm so proud of you and Dave, when you retired you really did it - loved hearing about your excursions and getting the photos, usually near the mountains or water, but always smiling, enjoying your adventures and each other. It was a gift to have Dave and his infectious laughter as long as we did. Our love is with you.

Jo, your message brought me to tears; I still think of you two as young adventurers journeying together to find new places and interests. We had our share of adventures too, so I'm so happy you have many wonderful memories to reflect on. Take your time, God will lead you to whatever is next in your life. Please call or write when you can. Love to you.

Linda, this came as a real shock. You and Dave are the most charitable and loving couple we know. We will dearly miss Dave but confident he is with the Lord. As I look back on our friendship we have such wonderful and lasting memories. Elsie and I truly love you two. We will absolutely miss our brother. John and Elsie.

Mrs. Hiner, thank you so much for being such a great teacher; I truly believe your class was the beginning of my acceleration into mathematics and ultimately science and engineering. I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. Will be thinking of you.

We are friends with David's mother and never had the honor of meeting him. Our prayers and sympathy go out to Betty, Jo and his surviving family and friends. We can all take comfort in knowing David is with our Heavenly Father where he is free indeed.

Generous, caring and fun-loving, Dave was the friend everyone hopes and prays will come into their lives. Dave and Jo are inextricably woven into our memories over the last thirty-one years. Through the good and the bad, they were there with us. Our hearts are broken that such an incredible person has left us to go on without him. Jo, you know how much we love you!

Our hearts our shattered. We can’t wait to see you soon!
“What will it be like when my pain is gone
And all the worries of this world just fade away?
What will it be like when You call my name
And that moment when I see You face to face?
I'm waiting my whole life to hear You say
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race and now you're home
Welcome to the place where you belong
What will it be like when tears are washed away
And every broken thing will finally be made whole?
What will it be like when I come into Your glory
Standing in the presence of a love so beautiful?
I'm waiting my whole life for that day
I will live my life to hear You say
Well done”

We will always cherries all the motorcycle and jeep rides we took with you and Jo. I remember when you would show up at the restaurant, you would come in the kitchen and would want to know ,when and where the next riding destination would be. You and Jo have been a big part of our life and our little family, you are a very good friend with a big heart and a great smile every time you were around.

I will always remember the night we found each other celebrating the Christmas Season downtown...Dave and I both complaining of our knees and sitting for a bit...but then ending up at Tony’s on Third where we introduced you both to their “snowballs.” I couldn’t believe you shared one—instead of —like me— hoarding my own... but that sharing you had was what made you two so special.
We are thinking of you tonight and wishing things were different...We know you have friends surrounding you and likewise know you will welcome their help and lean into their strength. Ron and I are so sorry Dave left us all so soon, and our prayers tonight include gratitude for having met Dave and a request for the Lord to blanket you with his comfort.
Sending our love through these words...
