Tony David Hill

Tony David Hill passed away suddenly on Friday, September 22, 2017, 5:15am at AllianceHealth Midwest Hospital in MWC. Tony Hill had your back. You could count on him in a time of need. Helping people gave him joy. Tony had a genuine outlook on life that encouraged people to see playfulness in the most common everyday activities. Raised in OKC & attended NWC. He loved nature, being outdoors & riding horses. From a young boy to a grown man he hunted, fished, scouted the woods, attended baseball games & tournaments with his family & friends: this was his tradition. He walked his dogs daily & always looked forward to weekly family gatherings & spending time with the love of his life, his daughter. Tony was an avid pool player. He played in pool tournaments & cherished his extended pool playing family. Tony is preceded in death by his grandparents; Garrett L. & Mic Hill, Richard R. and Martha J. Simon, Herman & Lois Colston & father, Garrett L. Hill III. He is survived by his mother, Nancy C. Hill, daughter Katie N. Sequichie-Hill, sister Tina K. Hilbert, brother in-law Christopher P. Hilbert & niece Ila C. Hilbert; uncle Harold & aunt Margaret Worrell & their sons Mitch and Mike Worrell; uncle Rick & aunt Terry Simon & their children Jennifer (Simon) Houston, Jill (Simon) Collins, Jonathan, Jessica, Jake & Jeanett Simon; uncle Danny & aunt Connie Simon & their children Ead, Dax, Keanon, Kale Simon & Miya (Simon) Miller; along with many loving cousins and close friends.

Benefit Tournament Information from Bobbi Weehunt's Facebook post: "There will be a benefit tournament for the family of Tony Hill on October 7th at Don Quixote's Club, sign ups start at noon and play starts at 1pm. We will have a 9ball blind draw scotch doubles with a race to 3 on the winners side and race to 2 on the back side (no losers at a benefit) entry is $10 a person and 10% of Calcutta will be donated to the family. There will be a new twist to add to the tournament to make sure we all have FunFunFun (but it's a surprise). We are now selling 50/50 raffle tickets $2.00 each or 12 for $20.00. You can buy these from the bartenders at Don Quixote's, Jamaica Joes, Bills Billards, DaBar and there are several people selling these as well. We are collecting donation items for a silent auction. If you have anything you would like to donate for the silent auction contact Grant Moen, Kay Samaripa, Clayton Hester, Billy Roberts, KC Massey or myself, or take the items you wish to donate to any of the bars listed above. Some of you have already decided to play in a tournament on that day somewhere else but there is not a good day so as not to bump up against an already posted tournament, so buy 50/50 tickets or have someone bid on a silent auction item for you. Remember, this is only being done out of our LOVE for one of our own pool family Tony Hill you will be missed forever!!!"
