In his high school years, he enjoyed football, track and wrestling. He was a State champion wrestler. He earned lots of medals and a full ride scholarship to the college of his choice. He is loved and will be deeply missed by MANY family and friends. Some of dad's hobbies included being on the farm, hunting, horseback riding, and snowmobile rides in the winter. He was very caring and would always help anytime he could. He had a big heart. Everyone knows how big of a "teddy bear" he was. He gave the biggest hugs. Dad worked for the Union Pacific Railroad for 18 years. He was a very hard worker. When he moved to California, he met his girlfriend Melissa Combs. While there, he worked on some ships in Long beach doing some mechanical work. He enjoyed spending lots of time at the beach whenever time allowed. One of dad's favorite dice games was Yahtzee. We enjoyed playing that for a long time. Whenever we would go on a trip with him, after dinner we would play a few rounds. It was always so much fun.

When I was a baby,
you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping my safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes,
and all the love I would see.
Michael Everette Hill
7/20/1955 ~ 6/15/2014
Michael Everette Hill, 58, died peacefully in his home of Big Water, Utah, at 11:50 p.m. on Father's Day, June 15, 2014. He was surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren.
He was born on July 20, 1955 at the U.S. Navy Hospital in Corona, California to Loren Everette Hill and Grace Aldine (Taylor) Hill of Nephi, Utah. Michael was raised in California for the majority of his life and graduated from Canyon Country High School. He later joined the LDS Church.
He found his eternal companion while residing in Lake Los Angeles, California. He married Sheri Kay (Hart) on Aug. 9, 1997, and they were sealed for time and all eternity on Oct. 18, 1997 in the Los Angeles LDS Temple.
Michael loved more than anything to spend time with his family. Whether it was car shows, for his love of fast muscle cars, to attending faires to relive the days of Renaissance. He also enjoyed holiday BBQs at his home in Big Water. He loved the area in which he lived—the Lake Powell surrounding area. But most of all, he loved to serve his fellow man.
Everyone who met Michael was touched by his friendly disposition and kindness. We knew him as a great man, dedicated father, loving brother and loyal son.
He left a legacy of love, and will be greatly missed.
Survivors include his wife, Sheri Kay (Hart) Hill of Big Water; his parents, Loren Everette Hill and Grace Aldine (Taylor) Hill of Nephi; his son Ryker Danzo Hill; his daughter Denise Tiffaney (Donato) Leach; six grandchildren; and his sisters, Cynthia Ann Grendron of Silver Springs, Nevada, and Trina Faye Hill of Taft, California.
