Allen Christopher Hill, a beloved husband, dad, and pops, passed away on June 23, 2025, at AdventHealth of Ottawa in Ottawa, Kansas. He was born on January 8, 1968, in Big Spring, Texas, the cherished son of Jimmy Hill Jr. and Mavis (Smith) Hill, both of whom preceded him in death.

A dedicated soldier, Allen proudly served in the United States Army for 19 ½ years, achieving the rank of E6 Staff Sergeant. He was a veteran of both Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, with his bravery recognized through the awarding of a Purple Heart, two National Defense Service Medals, and an Iraq Campaign Medal, as well as others. Allen's commitment to his country exemplified his strength and sense of duty.

In 2003, he found love and partnership when he married Gina Middlebusher in Albany, Missouri. Their bond was one of great significance, and Gina remains by the family home in Ottawa, Kansas, where they built a life together.

Allen's journey to Ottawa began in 2002 when he relocated from Lawrence, Kansas, after having grown up in Texas. He embraced the community and made lasting connections, becoming known for his warmth and kindness.

A proud member of Hope Anthem Church, Allen's faith was integral to his life, guiding him in both personal and community activities. He enjoyed many hobbies, including hunting, fishing, shooting, and working on cars, which reflected his love for the outdoors. His passion for life extended to watching movies and cherishing moments spent with family and friends, especially his beloved grandchildren.

He leaves behind a legacy filled with love, as he is survived by his wife; sons, Benjamin Howard of Austin, Texas, Allen Christopher Hill, II of Dallas, Texas, Makale Hill (Leah) of Ottawa, Kansas, and Dreyson Hill of Ft. Rucker, Alabama; his step-son Maurice Harper of Dallas, Texas; his step-daughters Ashley Fuller-Brown (Antonio) and Whitney Fisher, both of Dallas, Texas; granddaughters, Emslie Hill and Emberlie Hill; In-laws Loren and Sharon Middlebusher of Ottawa; and sister-in-law Chris Middlebusher also of Ottawa.
