Allen Hill Obituary (1953

Be devoted to family. Try to make everyone around you smile. Be generous to a fault. Take your work seriously ... yourself, not so much. Never underestimate the entertainment value of a well-executed practical joke. And above all, love the Lord Jesus with all your might. These would be just a few of the many traits exhibited by Allen Lee Hill, 60, who joined his Lord and Savior on Monday, June 23, 2014. Allen passed away at his home in Sapulpa, OK in the presence of loving family members, close friends, and beloved church family. Allen was born in Windsor, MO on Sept. 26, 1953 to Marcus E. and Dorothy M. Hill. Never one to pass up a good joke or a chance to laugh, Allen was an avid hunter, fisherman, scuba diver, and car buff. He worked with his father and brother in construction and served in the U.S. Navy. He was also a produce manger and a bank manager. Allen was a long-standing member of the Sand Springs Sportsman Club and loved to travel. He was especially reminiscent of his trips to Alaska and the Caribbean with his wife Nancy, and a big game hunting excursion to Africa. Allen's family and friends never knew what might happen next when they spent time with him. Whether he was siphoning the gas out of your car as a practical joke or presenting you with a handmade gift from his woodworking shop. Whatever happened, they always knew that his enormous heart was devoted to serving others. Allen is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Hill; daughters, Amber Davis and Becky Brogan; grandchildren, Aiden Davis, Kaira Davis, Jessica Brogan, Joey Brogan, Jacob Brogan, Jennifer Brogan, T.J. Winford; great grandchild, Ryder Brogan, all of Tulsa, his brother, Marcus D. Hill of Owasso, plus many other loving family members and friends. The family kindly requests donations to: Allen's home church, "Faith Church", P.O. Box 271, Glenpool, OK 74033 or "Joy in the Cause", http://joyinthecause.org/ in lieu of flowers.
