David Douglas Hill, peacefully passed away on September 8, 2021. He will be truly missed by his wife of 36 years, Elena Harageones Hill, son Joshua Douglas (Kristen), daughter Ariel Marie (Dylan) and grand-daughter Carmen Marie.
The love for his children was undeniable and he was very involved in their various activities throughout the years. He was very fond of animals and in later years gravitated toward watching and feeding the birds.
David retired from the City of Sarasota in 2011, served in the armed forces and continued as a Navy reservist for 25+ years until he retired as an E-6.
For those that knew David well, knew that he had nicknames for so many people, but the few that meant the most to him and said it so proudly was "Agapoe" and "Astronaut". (You know who you are). David also had a way with words and a few words became more of a tradition in the Hill household. Even his granddaughter, his pride and joy, started to pick up on these and continues to use everyday. "Grandpa, who got who "lasser" and, " you are going to be in "bic"troube".
David you will be missed, but never forgotten.
