David Keith Hill, lovingly known as "Buddy," 69, of Wichita Falls passed away peacefully on May 26, 2025.

The family will receive friends between 6 and 7 p.m. on Friday, May 30, 2025 at Davis Owens and Brumley Funeral Home in Henrietta, Texas. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at The Cowboy Church, 1784 Hwy 287 South, Henrietta, TX 76365 with Pastor Larry Miller and Pastor Terry Hill, officiating. Interment will be at Oakwood Cemetery in Wewoka, Oklahoma.

David was born on July 13, 1955, to Don and Billie (Shores) Hill in Wichita Falls. He graduated from Wichita Falls High School. From the very beginning, David faced life with quiet strength and a kind heart. He overcame more than most, but you'd never hear him complaining-he met every challenge with grit, grace, and that unmistakable twinkle in his eye.

On August 2, 1986, he married the love of his life, Connie Estep. Their love was steady and enduring. In 1991, David became a father, and his heart grew even bigger with the birth of his son, Ryan. There was nothing more important to David than being a good dad, and he worked tirelessly to care for and support Ryan every step of the way. David worked 32 years at M & M Manufacturing, where he not only proved himself as a dedicated and hard worker, but also found a lifelong friend in Steve-a boss who became like family and remained by David's side through the years.

David had a deep love for sports and could often be found cheering (and sometimes yelling) for his Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. But above all, David loved the Lord. His faith was quiet but unwavering, and it shaped the way he lived his life-with kindness, having a big heart, patience, and a deep sense of love for those around him. David made this world a better place just by being in it, and though we'll miss him more than words can say, we're thankful for every moment we had with him.

David was preceded in death by a beloved son, Ryan; his mother, Billie Hill; his mother-in-law, Betty Estep; and his brothers-in-law, Al Qualls and Keith Estep.

He leaves behind his wife and best friend, Connie Hill; his father, Don Hill; his sister, Phyllis Qualls; his brother, Terry Hill and wife, Evelyn; his father- in -law, Richard Estep, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and friends who loved him dearly and will miss him always.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Wichita Falls 4909 Johnson Rd, Wichita Falls, Texas 76310. The family would like to thank the staff at Hospice of Wichita for the love and care for David in his final days.
