William Brian Hill

William Brian Hill, age 69, a resident of Lake Orion, formerly of Berkley, passed away September 14, 2020. Bill was born on January 8th, 1951 in Detroit, MI to William and Virginia Hill. He was a big brother to six siblings, a husband and a companion to the love of his life, a father to four daughters, a grandfather to eight grandchildren, an uncle, a cousin, a nephew, a friend, and the warmest stranger you could've ever met. He was proud. Proud of his heritage, of his family, of his hard work, of his stories, of the life he had built, and of each and every person he knew and cared for. He was charming. Charming as a young boy, as a teenager, as an adult, and as an old man, even in his hardest of years. He was effortlessly, belly-laughingly funny. The kind of funny that showed people what joy really felt like. He was strong and gentle, resilient and sensitive, wise and silly, and a gentleman and a rascal all at the same time. It was a privilege to love and be loved by him. Bill was the loving father of Valerie (Thomas) Beetham of N. Muskegon, Yvonne (Kyle) Cameron of Lake Orion, Vanessa (Daran) Miller of Glen Rose, TX, and Olivia Hill (Steve Stavropoulos) of Detroit; proud grandfather of Joshua Beetham, Anna Beetham, Faith Morris, Emma Miller, Dawson Miller, Raylan Cameron, Livia Cameron, and Amelia Cameron; and dear brother of David Hill, Tennie (Houston) Sanders, and Brenda Criger all of Roseville. Also survived by his former wife, Diane Johnson. Predeceased by his parents, William and Virginia (Wroblewski) Hill; and siblings, Paulette Amspacher, Donna Tekely, and Richard Hill.
