Hillard Jenkins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Care Cremation & Funeral Service - Eastland Drive on Mar. 29, 2026.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear brother, Hillard Jenkins.

Hillard was the second son of Janet Logan Jenkins and Edward Jenkins. He was affectionately known as "Uncle Honey" by his many nieces and nephews, a name that reflected the love and warmth he shared with his family. He leaves behind seven siblings: Annette Jenkins (Tee), Nelvean Mack (Nell), Lawrence Jenkins (Judie), Pam Jenkins, Delsie Essig (Terry), Andy Jenkins, and Matthew Jenkins (Christy).

He enjoyed fishing, camping, and writing poetry; simple pleasures that brought him great joy.

Details for his memorial and celebration of life service will be shared as they become available. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor his memory are asked to contribute to his GoFundMe account to assist with final expenses: https://gofundme8b9dee322

Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
