Peter William Hill, cherished husband, father, son, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2026, after a courageous battle with multiple strokes and pancreatic cancer. Born on March 18, 1965, in Akron, Ohio, Peter's life was a tapestry of love, service, and dedication. Peter was the beloved son of Don and Kathy Hill and the late Mary Lu Hill. He is survived by his devoted wife, Annette Hill, and their son, Donald Hill, who was born on April 4, 1999. His family also includes his father Don, stepmother Kathy, and sister, Arlene Hill. Peter was predeceased by his dear mother, Mary Lu Hill, and his sister, Pamela Hill. Peter's life was marked by commitment and service. He graduated from Findlay High School in 1975 and soon thereafter joined the U.S. Navy, where he served with distinction from 1980 to 1986 on the CGN 41 USS Arkansas during the Gulf War. His time in the Navy was a proud chapter in his life, one that instilled in him a deep sense of duty and honor. In 1996, Peter married the love of his life, Annette Brunelle, and together they built a life filled with laughter, love, and family. In 2023, Peter achieved a long-held goal of completing his degree in Business Management, a testament to his determination and love for learning. Professionally, Peter dedicated his career to serving the state of Ohio as a Radiological Analyst with the Emergency Management Agency. His work was a reflection of his unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of others. A man of faith, Peter was a proud member of Convergence Christian Church of Katy, Texas. His Christian beliefs were a cornerstone of his life, guiding him in his actions and interactions with others. Peter found joy in the simple pleasures of life—fishing, playing the drums, and spending treasured moments with family and friends. Known for his quick wit and warm smile, Peter had a natural ability to make others feel welcome and at ease.
