Gregory Hillian Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lewis Funeral Chapel - Fort Smith on Dec. 9, 2024.
Gregory Allen Hillian, age 71, peacefully passed away at his home in Dyer, Arkansas, on December 7, 2024. Born on April 27, 1953, Gregory was the cherished son of Clayton Winfred Hillian and Jewel Fern (Porter) Hillian. A proud Veteran of the United States Army, he served his country with honor before transitioning to a career in law enforcement, where he proudly served his community as a police officer until his retirement.
Gregory had a deep love for the outdoors and found joy in fishing, shooting, and camping. He was known for his wisdom, intelligence, kindness, and caring nature. His thoughtful advice and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved children, grandchildren, one sister, extended family, and many friends. Gregory was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 14 years, Myra Hillian, and his parents, Clayton and Jewel Hillian. Cremation has been entrusted to the compassionate care of Lewis Funeral Chapel.
