Lit a candle in memory of Jonathan Patrick Hill

Last winter, during one of the bad snow storms, my husband was stranded in Durham after his car got stuck. Jon offered to go pick him up and bring him home to North Raleigh so my toddler and I wouldn't have to worry about him. However, once he picked my husband up, he brought my husband back to his car and helped him dig it out. He followed him until he got safely onto the main roads. Our family was humbled and grateful that someone we hardly knew (at the time), was willing to risk his own safety to help us. Thank you, and may you rest in God's peace. Bethany Thuku

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. You are all in our thoughts in prayers. Ed, Kelly, Grace, Griffin and Kenley Kovalesky

Thank you Kelly, I am really feeling all of these prayers xoxo

Jon was one of the best persons I ever met in my life, he brought cheer and joy into everyone's life he touched, he will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure to have met him, Heather I am so sorry for your loss as I am sure everyone else is in the aviation world. Godspeed Jon Ramiro Kuyvenhoven

Thank you Ramiro! You're name was one spoken of often in our home. Jon really thought highly of you! xoxoxo

Thank you Brittnee! I'll miss that smile as well, although I am lucky enough to see it in my children's faces every day. They all look more like him that then do of me! 😉

Thank you Neill! He knew what it was like to want to get home!

Thank you so much Lisa xoxo

I've flown with Jonathan on several occasions; if Jonathan was on your Trip Pairing, you were in for an easy and enjoyable trip! His genuine smile was certainly infectious. Often I would see Jonathan in the Crew Lounge, always with that subtle grin on his face, and we would share a brief conversation. He will certainly be missed by me and all of us at JetBlue. Captain Curtis Kikkert, JetBlue.

Mrs. Hill, I am very sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity of meeting your husband when Andrew was in my class last year. I could tell the kind of father he was. My daughter Luna is in class with Andrew this year, and surely misses him in class and is very sad. My prayers and thoughts are with your family. Michele Dyroff

Jon was the only person to give up his seat on a commute for me in 12 years of aviation. Always a pleasure to spend a little bit of time with you on the way up to NY. Ill miss seeing you there. Thanks Jon

I had the privilege of flying with Jon for about two years. This was one of the most memorable experiences of my 20 year flying career. Jon was a brilliant teacher, friend, and an shining example of how to treat others. I will miss Jon more than words can explain! - Chase Trissel

I had the absolute pleasure of flying with Jonathan on several occasions. If Jonathan was on my Trip Pairing, I knew I was in for an easy and enjoyable trip! And his smile was certainly infectious! I always enjoyed sharing a moment with him in the Crew Lounge, as he would often approach me with that subtle grin on his face. Your Jonathan will certainly be missed!

I worked with Jonathan years ago at Piedmont Aviation. He was one of the most fun guys to work with, he always kept everybody laughing. He will be missed. I'm saying extra prayers for his family. High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew -- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. John Gillespie Magee, Jr --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jon was one of the kindest people I've ever met with the sweetest smile and the best giggle .There is nothing he wouldn't have done to help you . I remember him taking days off work (on his own accord) to put endless shelves together, hang up pictures, and paint my new school and he wouldn't put the paint brush down until he had finished. He never expected anything in return except a smile and/or a hug. His patience and kindness shone through constantly even when he taught my son to drive stick shift and he banned me from the car ! He was such a special person and he will always be in my heart . I am so thankful you were a part of my life . Sleep tight xxxx

Heather, please know the entire Bull City Little League family has you in our thoughts and prayers. We have so enjoyed having your family become part of our BCLL family. Please accept our condolences during this difficult time. Lisa G. Johnson - League Secretary

To the family of Jonathan, I want to extend my sympathy on the passing of Jonathan, though I only new him for a short period of time I know he was a wonderful man to all he came in contact with and one who loved his family and flying. May The Lord give you the strength in dealing with his passing and his absence as you find a way to keep on keeping on. Captain Wiley Shearin Us Airways.

Bethany, he didn't bat an eyelash to come and help your husband! He was on his way as soon as I told him about it. He was so happy to help bring your husband home. xoxox

I worked with Jon at Piedmont Aviation many years ago at RDU. We both went to Embry Riddle and had a lot in common. We were both helping a person who owned a plane at RDU and we would fly together once in a while during the early years of our careers. Jon always brought a smile to my face. His personality was infectious , and although I had not seen him in years, I thought of him often and our adventures and they always make me laugh. RIP JON. Pete Kissel 919 247 8899
