GARY FRANK HILLIER (31 Dec 1965 - 20 May 2025)

Dad,

Tomorrow marks 365 days since you left us, and somehow a whole year has passed without you. It feels impossible to put into words how much you are missed or how deeply your absence is felt every single day.

You were my dad, my hero, my strength, and my safe place. Life has not been the same without you, and the space you left behind is one that can never truly be filled. They say time heals, but no amount of time could ever lessen the love I have for you or the pain of missing you.

This year has gone far too quickly and every day without you has been a challenge. I miss your voice, your guidance, your laughter, and simply knowing you were there. More than anything I miss the moments me, jade, the boys and mum should still be sharing and the memories we were meant to make. The boys are still struggling with you not being here and talk about you often which shows the measure of the man you were.

You were taken far too soon, and not a day goes by that I don’t wish for one more conversation, one more hug, one more moment with you.


Dad your loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and remembered every single day. You will forever be my hero.

Until we meet again,

All our love always

Dad, I find myself here again missing you more with each passing day. I would give anything for just one more day with you—to hear your laugh, share a joke, or just sit and talk like we used to. I miss your guidance, your love, I miss you.

I have said it before but it's true and more apparent as the days go by you were more than my dad—you were my best friend, my anchor. I am just so grateful I have Jade and mum. Watch over mum please as she is on her own rollercoaster,but rest assured we are here and I am certain she knows it.
We all feel your absence every single day and the space you left can never be filled. The boys still talk about you, goes to show the man you was that you have created an ever lasting memory in such a short period of time. I carry your love and your lessons with me always and will pass them onto the boys raising them how you did me. I love you, I miss you, and I will forever hold you close even more so now that I have your boat on my leg. Xx

God bless you Gary Rest In Paradise xx

Wow what an amazing amount raised. Thank you everyone means a lot. Although we would rather have gal here with us xx

Remembered with a lot of love and affection and a smile for all those funny moments you created

Rest In Peace Gal

On behalf of myself and our family, we want to extend our deepest thanks to each and every one of you who attended my father’s funeral and paid your respects whether in person or online. We were truly moved and humbled by the number of people who came to honour him and the profound impact he had on so many lives.

To see such a gathering was not only a source of comfort in our grief, but also a reflection of the man we knew him to be. Your presence was a tribute to the legacy he leaves behind.

As we now navigate life without him, we ask that you continue to remember and speak often of Lord Gary. Share the stories, the lessons, and the laughter. In doing so, we keep his spirit and memory alive.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Hillier family.
