Harvey Mack Hitt

He was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Doris Nell Hitt.

Mack is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Connie Hitt; his daughters, Amy (Jay) Moyer of Northport, Alabama, and Michele (Mike) Hancharik of Madison, Alabama; and his grandchildren, Reese and Mallie Moyer. To them, he was simply “Poppa,” a name that held all the love and laughter they shared. Mack had a special name for each of his granddaughters: Reese was his “Princess,” and Mallie was his “Mallie Jay Junie B Dolly.” Those names were uniquely his and reflected the playful, loving bond he shared with them. He is also survived by his older brother, Wayne (Kathy) Hitt; his brother-in-law, Kenny (Janet) Thompson; and many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Mack loved his family and friends deeply. He was known for his sharp sense of humor and his ability to bring laughter and personality to everyday moments. Those who knew Mack knew the importance he placed on the people in his life and the relationships he built along the way.

He was a graduate of the University of Alabama and a devoted fan of its football traditions.

He dedicated his career to his work as a Certified Public Accountant, building lasting relationships and helping people with care and professionalism.

Mack also had a great love for the outdoors, especially hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. Among his most treasured traditions was an annual hike up Mount LeConte with family and friends. Those mountain journeys bring to mind the words of Isaiah 52:7: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings...” The verse beautifully reflects a place that brought Mack great happiness and the memories he made there with the people he loved. Those memories are especially treasured now, reminding those who loved him of the many miles walked together, the joy they shared, and a love that will endure far beyond the trail.

Mack was a devoted member of Five Points Baptist Church for more than 50 years, and his faith was an important part of the way he lived his life. Over the years, he served his church in many ways, including as a deacon and Sunday School teacher. He also helped lead fundraising efforts for an addition to the church, generously giving his time and talents to a church family and community that meant so much to him. His many years of service reflected not only his faith, but also his desire to give back and strengthen the church he loved. His life and faith call to mind the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

A life so deeply loved deserves to be remembered together. Family and friends are invited to gather to honor and celebrate Mack’s life on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Five Points Baptist Church, a church that was such an important part of his life for many years. Visitation will begin at 10:30 a.m., with a Celebration of Life service following at 11:30 a.m.

Pallbearers will be Jay Moyer, Don Kelly, Wayne Hitt, Kenny Thompson, Jack Trimm and Reese Pugh.

Honorary pallbearers will include the Hospice of West Alabama and Staff, Dr. John Miller, Dr. Katherine Sweeney Eck, Dr. Lee Loftin, Amedisys Home Health Care, Prayer Warriors Sunday School class, Courtney Montgomery, Judy Kelly, Joyce Christian, Sallie and Larry Morrison, Glenda Trimm, Kristy Trimm, Amanda Black, Melanie Robertson, Latrelle Hallum, Mack’s Mt. LeConte Hiking Group.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Mack’s friends, church family, and caregivers, especially those at Hospice of West Alabama, for the kindness, support, and compassionate care shown to Mack and his family.

As Mack’s family and friends mourn his passing, they find comfort in the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:8: “to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” His faith was a steady source of hope throughout his life, and his family takes comfort in knowing that the faith he carried so faithfully is now fulfilled.
