Mr. Dillard Hamil, age 90, passed away on Sunday, March 5, 2023 at his residence.
Mr. Hamil retired from La-Z-Boy after 32 years of dedicated services as an electrician and machine mechanic.
He spent countless hours helping neighbors and relatives in the community. All Dillard wanted in return was a little conversation and a thank you.
He was a loving son, husband, father, grandfather, friend, and papa to so many.
He loved farming, working with the cows, cutting wood, and anything else he could use his talented hands to do.
Dillard loved his Lord, and was faithful to him and his Church by being a Deacon.
His biggest joy was his family. He loved spending time just talking and laughing with his family, but the biggest smiles came when he was called papa. His grandchildren were his life and he always spent time teaching and mentoring them. When they were around, he just lit up.
Survivors include one daughter, Kathy Partridge (Kenny); three grandchildren, Kaitlyn Smith (Dru), Kameron Partridge (Mollie), Dewayne Partridge (Savannah); two Great-grandchildren, Arik and Harrison; two brothers, Jack Hamil and Kenneth Hamil (Nellie).
Mr. Dillard Hamil is preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Myrtie Gibbs Hamil; one son, Dewayne Hamil; seven brothers and one sister.
Pallbearers were Dewayne Partridge, Kameron Partridge, Robbie Knight, Randy Vance, Perry Luke, and Skipper Harrison
Honorary Pallbearers were Charles Walton, Don Terrell, and Larry Hamil
