Robert Kimball Hill, born on November 26, 1966, in Springfield, Missouri, passed away on December 13, 2025, in Ozark, Missouri. Robert’s life was characterized by his unwavering commitment to hard work, principles he upheld throughout his days. From an early age, he dedicated himself to labor, often seen cutting wood alongside his brother Junior and engaging in metal scrapping. His efforts extended to the concrete business, where he worked alongside his brother Duke, always eager to lend a helping hand to neighbors and friends who recognized and cherished his contributions.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lisa Hill; his daughter, Samantha Jo Hill; his son, Rober Hill, Jr.; his parents, Jean Elaine (Moore) Hill and Edward Hill, Sr.; as well as his grandparents, Leon and Esta Moore. Their memories live on through Robert’s enduring legacy of love and hard work.
