August Devane Hill

August Devane Hill, age 79, went to be with his Lord and Savior on June 13, 2018, surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was born on August 1, 1938 in Montgomery, Texas to Barley and Carrie Hill, and was the youngest of ten children. He graduated from Montgomery High School in 1957, of which he was a member of the school’s first football team. In his professional career, for 30 plus years, he worked and retired from Huntsman Corp as a chemical operator. Although he enjoyed his career there, “Papa” was his personal favorite title. The time he spent with his large family was everything to him. Later in his life, he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart, a decision that he relished for the remainder of his time.
August was preceded in death by his parents, Barley and Carrie Hill; five sisters and two brothers; wife Bonnie Hill; and grandson James Abell. He survived by his sisters, Henrietta Luce and Pauline Dunn; daughter, Taina Blanton and Christian Diaz; step-children, Kelly Cumpian and husband Lee, Molly Radford and husband Neal, Bo Cheatham and wife Angela; grandchildren, Carrie Downing and husband Doug, Amy Abell Musters and husband Michael, Bethany Diamond and husband Corey; step-grandchildren, Bill Robinson and wife Andrea, Curtis Robinson and wife Dusty, Ty Cheatham and wife Amanda, and Cassie Cheatham; great grandchildren, August Jackson, Jefferson, Harper, Faith, Katie, Carter, Kash, and Landyn; as well as many other relatives and friends.
