Obituary for Stuart Hill
Stuart Leslie Hill, age 69, passed away 2 Nov 2020 at his residence in Deming, New Mexico. Stuart is survived by his partner of 43 years, John Anderson; sister, Jeanne Owen (Of San Saba, Texas); brothers, Alan (of Richmond, Texas) & Howard (of Livingston, Texas); 3 nephews, Sam Owen, Aaron Hill, Evan Hill; 1 niece, Alyse Hill-McMenamin, 1 great nephew, Carter Owen, and 1 great niece, Cohen Owen.

Stuart was born in Channelview, Texas on March 31, 1951, where he attended Channelview schools from 1st to 12th grade and took part in many school functions over that 12 year span. As Stuart requested, there will be no services. Cremation will take place and he will be staying with his partner, John, until the time of his death, then they will be interred in a Houston-area cemetery. (written by Stuart). Stuart courageously fought his battle with cancer for 1 1/2 years. During this time he was ever the jokester that we all knew and loved. He was more concerned with the well-being of those around him than his own comfort. I was privileged to have known him for most of my life and to call him brother. He will be greatly missed even knowing that he is at rest with our Creator. 
Stuart always joking around.

Family gatherings were a staple in Ron’s family. Fish-fries and bar-b-ques presented a prime opportunity for the whole family to get together and fellowship with one another. Ron always enjoyed those times. Ron retired from Nucor Steel in 2013 and thoroughly appreciated this time in his life. Although he only had a brief seven years as a retiree, Ron lived it to the fullest. Ron was preceded in death by both of his parents; brother, Joe Aaron and nephew, Michael Aaron. His surviving family includes, loving wife, Carol (Rappolee) DeSpain of Centerville; sons, Chuck (Gari Shae) Perry of Round Rock, Jesse (Amanda) DeSpain of Centerville and Cody (Casey) DeSpain of Centerville and brothers, Michael “Alvin” Aaron and wife, Inez of Louisiana and Milton “Curtis” DeSpain and wife, Neva of Onalaska. Ron will forever be remembered as “Big Daddy” by his grandchildren, Corbin Chandler, Caiden Boss, Jeran Schaedler, Dayton DeSpain, Jake Pineda, Weston DeSpain, Luke DeSpain, Reese Perry and Avery Perry. Ron is also survived by sister-in-law, Barbara Jo Aaron and nephews, Sidney Dewayne, Robert Aaron and Dwayne Aaron. Arrangements are under the direction of Walters Funeral Home, Centerville, Texas.
