Lawrence Hiller Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of Bay High School, Lawrence dedicated 17 years to law enforcement, serving as a Lieutenant with the Airport Police Department and as part of the Marine Patrol Division with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation. His commitment to public safety extended beyond his official roles-he also served as a volunteer firefighter with Bay County Fire and Rescue and later worked in airport maintenance and operations at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.
Lawrence was an avid athlete, competing in numerous marathons, triathlons, Ironman events, and tennis tournaments. He was a devoted member of the Panama City Racquet Club. Whether on the court or the trail, he found joy in staying active.
Lawrence was a longtime member of St. Andrew's Baptist Church. In his free time, he enjoyed scuba diving, biking, horseback riding, playing tennis, and taking long walks with his beloved dog, Sophie.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Gene and Mary Hiller, and his sister, Judith Baker.
Left to honor his memory are his beloved daughter, Tiffany Hiller and her husband Azarael Pillay; his stepson, Bryan Price; and his cherished dog, Sophie.
The family will receive friends from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M., Thursday, August 7, 2025, at St. Andrew's Baptist Church, followed by a Celebration of Life at 2:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Tiffany Hiller.
Heritage Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Lawrence Munson Hiller.

I have special memories of Larry. I was his tennis coach at Bay High School. He was a very kind and caring person and a very dedicated tennis player. He had many different jobs and many friends who will miss him.
I'm sending my deepest condolences.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Lawrence´s passing. I came to know him through the Florida Marine Patrol in the 90´s. Our lives crossed paths several times since then and we talked as if there had been no years between visits. I extend my deepest condolences to the family who have to continue without his presence. Rest easy my friend.

I first met Larry when he was a Reserve Officer with the FL Marine Patrol back in the early 90's. I would run into him later at ECP airport as he was protecting and serving the staff and those traveling to and from Panama City.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing and pray for peace for his family, friends and co-workers in the difficult days to ahead.

Larry was a friend of mine since elementary school. I last spoke to him two years ago at the BHS 40 year reunion. All my condolences to his family. God bless you.

I met Lawrence in 2008 when I started with TSA at old airport. Lawrence was so welcoming . I felt safe with him around. Then we all went to the new airport ECP. Still stayed the great Lawrence. He amazed me at his bike riding. Lawrence was always so welcoming to everyone he met. After I retired and would still see him he always had a hug and asked how I was doing. Tiffany he was so proud of you. Spoke how beautiful you were. He will be so missed at the airport. I wish I was able to attend tomorrow but sadly I can't. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
