In memory of our father, Michael G. Hilger, we are reaching out for support and assistance to honor him. His sudden and unexpected passing on Saturday, December 28, 2024, has left us with unforeseen funeral expenses. Every contribution, no matter how small, will truly help our family alleviate the significant financial burden during this difficult time and allow us to give Dad a dignified farewell. Funds will be allocated toward his funeral service, cremation, and memorial arrangements. We are deeply grateful for your support, prayers, and generosity as we grieve the loss of our father and navigate this difficult time. As children, we remember our dad being exceptionally caring and always striving to provide us with what we desired. He was a very kind man who would readily give the shirt off his back to those in need. Most notably, we recall his exceptional ability to make people smile and laugh and his captivating personality that drew people in and often earned him the title of being the big flirt or the charmer. We will always cherish the memories of his bright smile, infectious laughter, and charming personality. Sincerely, his children, Alexandra, Ryan, & Mikaela Hilger.
