Alexander Funeral Home-Newburgh Chapel
John R. Hilbert, 69, of Boonville, IN, passed away Monday, April 9, 2018 at St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville. He was born in Columbus, OH on July 4, 1948 to the late Louis and Edna Hilbert.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather “Pa” and a faithful servant of God. There is something very special about a person who loves the Lord Jesus and knows without a shadow of a doubt that their eternal future is in Heaven. John wore a white cap so that his grandsons, Carson and Peyton, could always spot him in the crowd at their soccer games. He was an avid reader, and took great pride in teaching Jack to read. The joy of being a grandparent was capped off with his granddaughter, Gemma. First Christian Church of Mt. Vernon, IN welcomed the Hilberts with open arms. Their passion for helping each other, and their genuine Christian love was a perfect example of John’s philosophy that a burden shared is half the burden and a blessing shared is twice the blessing.
John was preceded in death by his sister, Julie; a baby brother; and brothers-in-law, John Johnson and Charles Overmeyer.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Chris Hilbert; son, Jon Hilbert (Angela); daughter, Shari Greenwell (J. P.); grandkids, Carson and Peyton Hilbert, Jack and Gemma Greenwell; brother, Larry Hilbert (Jean Ann); and sister, Bettie Johnson.
Although our hearts ache on Earth, he would want us to celebrate that he is home.
Funeral Services will be held 10:30 AM, Friday, April 13, 2018, at Alexander Newburgh Chapel officiated by Rev. Jack Neighbors with burial in Maple Grove Cemetery in Boonville. Friends may visit 3-7 PM on Thursday at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be made to First Christian Church, 1403 Country Club Road, Mt. Vernon, IN 47620.
