Steven A Hill

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Steven A. Hill, a cherished father, devoted brother, and esteemed community servant, who left this world peacefully on May 14, 2026, at Orlando Health after a valiant battle with a prolonged illness. Born on August 8, 1966, in the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida, Steven's life was a testament to unwavering dedication, love, and service. Steven was the beloved son of the late Levin Chaney of Birmingham, Alabama, and Gladys R. Hill of Valdosta, Georgia. He was preceded in death by his parents, as well as his dear sisters, Renee Hill Smith and Julia M. Hill. Despite these losses, Steven's life was filled with the love and companionship of his surviving family, including his sons Allen, Eric Smith, and Mathius Hill; his daughter Priscilla Hill; his sister Sandra M. Hill; his brother Stanley I. Robinson, and Kenneth A. Hill. Steven's legacy is further enriched by his 11 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, who will carry forward his enduring spirit and cherished memories. Steven's journey of education began at Evan High School, where he laid the foundation for a lifetime of learning and achievement. He pursued his passion for justice and community safety by studying Law Enforcement at Florida Metropolitan University, ultimately earning his Master’s degree in Criminal Justice. With this solid educational background, Steven embarked on a distinguished career in law enforcement, first serving as a dedicated policeman with the Orlando Police Department. His commitment to justice and leadership eventually led him to the role of Police Chief for the Eatonville Police Department, where he served with integrity and compassion, leaving a lasting impact on the community he held so dear. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Steven's life was rich with personal passions and interests. He was an avid fisherman, often finding solace and joy on the tranquil waters, casting lines with the same patience and perseverance that defined his character. His love for martial arts was not only a testament to his physical discipline but also a reflection of his inner strength and resilience. Steven's heart was warmed by the love of his two surviving spouses, Jennifer Smith and Melinda Simmons, with whom he built a beautiful family filled with laughter and love. Together, they created a legacy of unity and support that will continue to inspire those who knew and loved him. As we bid farewell to Steven, we celebrate a life well-lived and a spirit that touched the hearts of many. His memory will forever be cherished by his extensive family, including a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins, and by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Steven A. Hill's life was a testament to the power of dedication, love, and community, and his legacy will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
