Kirk Hill Obituary
Kirk graduated from Eastern Hills High School before graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington. There, he met his wife, Nancy Oglesby, and they were married on May 27, 1972. They moved to Aledo, Texas, in 1979 where they raised their three daughters. His life was marked by his servant's heart and dedication to his family and friends. You could always find him at Birchman Baptist Church where he led and served in the children's ministry for over 40 years.
Kirk is survived by his wife, Nancy, and his children, Emily (Matthew) Bishop, Bethany (Justin) Rudd, and Lauren (John) Thornton. He was the best Grumps to his grandchildren, Ellie (Jeff) Owings; Cate Bishop; Noah, Molly, Hattie, and Mallory Rudd; and Christopher, Everett and Reid Thornton. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Betty Jo Hill and his brother, Clifford Hill.
Visitation will be held at Birchman Baptist Church (9100 N. Normandale, Fort Worth, TX 76116) from 3-5 pm on Sunday, November 10. A Celebration of Life will be at the same location at 11 am on Monday, November 11.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Down Syndrome Partnership of North Texas (dspnt.org) or Academy 4 (academy4.org), causes close to Kirk's heart.

Kirk was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He was a true example of how we should all live. Always there, always faithful, always with a smile. I appreciate how good he was to my mother after Dad died. He always looked her up at church and made sure she was okay.

I have the privilege of working in the community where your dear father lived, and in the short time I've been here, he made a lasting impression on me. He was one of the kindest, most genuine souls-a true gentleman.
We often talked about his love for his family, his deep faith in Jesus, and his zest for life. I used to attend Sunday night service for high schoolers and college kids at Birchman in the 90s, and it's where I fell in love with worship music. We connected on that as well as our love for kiddos with Down syndrome. Kirk was so proud to wear his World Down Syndrome Day t-shirts just like I do for my niece.
I just wanted to let you know how much he will be missed by me and so many others. Godspeed to him. Wishing you and your family strength and peace during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Vanessa Lozada, Lifestyle Coordinator at Album Benbrook

Kirk was a friend to my husband, Omar and I'm sure they've already visited in heaven.

I don´t remember much of the details, but while I served on staff at Birchman Baptist Church, Kirk helped me purchase a set of Hogan golf clubs. I used those clubs for at least 30 years. He had a servant´s heart, and he loved the church and God´s people.
