Joe Hill Obituary
Joe Delton Hill, 87, of Crossett, passed away on Thursday, October 3, 2024. He was born in Arkadelphia, AR on June 20, 1937, and was an active member of the South Main Baptist Church.
After graduating from El Dorado High School in 1955, Joe honorably served his country for twelve years in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career as the ITT Department Manager for Georgia Pacific, where he worked for twenty-eight years across various locations, including Crossett, Portland OR, Baton Rouge, LA, and Atlanta, GA.
Joe was a member of the "Nail Benders for Jesus" and later established the "Cabinets for Jesus" group, combining his love for carpentry with his desire to help others. His mission trip to Nicaragua left a profound impact on his life, deepening his commitment to serving others through Jesus Christ.

Known for his meticulous care of his yard and his courteous demeanor, Joe had a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He was a great encourager, offering support and love to his family and friends without prejudice and his joy in sharing the gospel and discussing his faith was evident to everyone he met.
