David Hill Obituary

David "Dave" M. Hill, 62, of Sarver, passed away Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving wife and family. He was born in Pittsburgh on Feb. 2, 1963, to the late Barbara (Robertson) Burland and Charles Hill. Dave was an arborist and the owner/operator of Hill's Tree Care & Nursery, LLC a tree care, landscape, and nursery business that he and his wife started from the ground up in 1994 in Sarver, with their son Adam by their side. Dave's knowledge and love for his work were beyond measure. When Dave would sell a plant from the nursery, he would tell the customer to take good care of it because it is one of his babies! Dave appreciated each and every one of his customers. To say Dave was an avid outdoorsman is an understatement. His love of hunting, fishing, being outside, tree work, and working with plants brought him countless years of happiness. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Dave is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Marianne L. (Fry) Hill, whom he married Sept. 4, 1993; one son, Adam (Megan) Hill; and one grandson his pride and joy Colton Hill. He is also survived by his siblings, Norm (Susan) Hill and Elizabeth Hill; and by his nieces and nephew. Dave and his family are grateful for the gift of his donor heart, and the family would like to thank Bridges Hospice for their immediate and loving care. All arrangements were made through SPENCER D. GEIBEL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 140 NEW CASTLE ROAD, BUTLER, PA 16001. WWW.SPENCERDGEIBEL.COM. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

Marianne & family, we share your loss in a smaller way. We valued our connection with Dave very much. He had great knowledge and was generous in sharing & caring. It was always abundantly evident he truly enjoyed his work & as you say it was personal with him down to the individual leaf. We will miss him but are thankful for the opportunity to know and enjoy him. We wish rest and peace for you all.
