On November 25th, 2024, Brian Hiltebeitel lost his life to a random, senseless act of violence. Brian was a contagious and genuine human. He had a natural tendency to make everyone feel important, even with just a smile or a hug. The absence of Brian’s charismatic spirit is felt heavily by his family, friends, and those who knew him.

Brian is survived by his 3 daughters, Danielle, Savannah, and Kelsey; former wife and forever friend, Heather Hiltebeitel; devoted partner, Dina Lauro; his brother and sisters, Ralph Hiltebeitel, Heidi Seiberlich and Gretchen Ramsey; and his beloved grandchildren, Kevin, Quin, and Cleo.

This fund was created to collect donations that will be contributed to finding justice for Brian. In addition, Brian’s daughters will be organizing memorial events to celebrate his life. We don't heal in isolation, but in community. Justice will be restored while peace is encouraged, as we acknowledge that we are all part of one another to fight for Brian.
