David Kendall Hill

David "Dave" Kendall Hill, 66, of Hansen, Idaho, passed away May 31, 2025, at St. Alphonsus in Boise, Idaho.

Dave, born on March 19, 1959, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Bill and Virginia Hill. Dave was a devoted son, father, grandfather, and brother whose legacy will live on through his family and the many lives he touched during his time on this earth.

Dave spent most of his life farming on his family farm, contributing to the agricultural richness of the Magic Valley. He enjoyed a fulfilling life in Hansen, Idaho, where he lived since 1994, having previously spent a decade in Filer.

A graduate of Jerome High School class of 1977, Dave continued his education at Boise State University, before returning home to the Magic Valley. His early years were characterized by a passion for the car scene, where cruising in his beloved 1976 Cobra 2 brought him great joy. He cherished memories of helping on the family farm, supporting his sister Lisa with her horses, and spending precious moments hunting with his father.

Dave had a vibrant and outgoing personality, known to be loving and accepting of everyone. He particularly thrived in his role as a grandfather, with his five grandchildren—Odin Schmidt, Torin Schmidt, Dalton Schmidt, Ellie Peterson, Waylon Peterson, and Remington Peterson—being among his proudest accomplishments, alongside his two daughters, Jessica (Joe) Schmidt and Kendra (Kenzie) Peterson. Dave’s nurturing spirit was evident in the loving bonds he formed with his family.

He is survived by his daughters; Jessica (Joe) Schmidt and Kendra (Kenzie) Peterson five grandchildren; Odin Schmidt, Torin Schmidt, Dalton Schmidt, Ellie Peterson, Waylon Peterson, and Remington Peterson sisters; Lisa (Erik) Partin, and Laura (Stan) Novak, along with his niece Amanda Partin and nephew Garrett Novak. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Dave is preceded in death by his father, William "Bill" Hill, his mother, Virginia Hill, and his aunt and uncle, Carol and Dean Bowles. His legacy of love and kindness will be remembered by his family and friends.
