Herbert Leon Hines Sr.

Herbert Hines, Sr., was born to the late

Earl Hines, Sr., and Louise Virgil Hines in Bradenton,

Florida, on October 15, 1955. He was a native of Manatee

County all of his life. He was introduced to and accepted

Christ at an earlier age. Mr. Hines also attended local

schools in the area. Herbert graduated as the senior

class president of Southeast High School in 1973. He

attended the University of Florida on a full-ride football

scholarship. Shortly after, he made a rightful decision

to preach God's words as an ordained minister. Herbert

believed in working hard from sunup to sundown.

There was never a job that was not too hard for him or

too small that he couldn't handle. He was an all-around

handyman who loved helping everyone he met.

Herbert Hines leaves his fondest memories that will

never be forgotten with his son, Herbert Hines Jr.,

(Trina); granddaughters, Jebrea and Jeleisha; grandson,

Amir; great-granddaughter, Amina; sisters, Priscilla

Frazier (Tommie), Cynthia Riley (Andrew), and Kim

Holloway; brother, Edrick Hines, Sr.; special friend,

Sharon Pompey; along with multiple generations of

nieces, nephews, and sorrowing friends.

He was preceded in death by siblings, Idella

Randall (Hubert), Earl Hines, Jr. (Joyce), and Clyde

Hines, Sr. (Sonya).
