Randy Hilton

On Thursday, January 12, 2023, Randy L. Hilton, loving father, brother, and friend, passed away at age 74.

Randy was born on June 4, 1948 in Lubbock, TX to Lelton and Dorothy Hilton. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in education from Texas Tech University with a dual major in English and Spanish. He served as a sergeant in the US Army and was able to use his Spanish to act as a translator while stationed in Panama. During his career, he held various teaching positions including teaching at New Deal High School and also teaching Drivers Ed. Randy also worked for Imco Services and attended classes in Houston to become a drilling fluids engineer. After a short time working in Hobbs, NM, he was moved by the company to Houston, TX where he taught in the drilling fluids school and later worked offshore. Eventually he moved back to Lubbock, TX and worked as a postal worker for several years prior to retirement.

Randy had a kind heart and a great sense of humor. He was a huge Texas Tech fan and followed all of the sporting events. Some of his favorite hobbies included golf, playing guitar, and completing crossword puzzles. He was devoted to his family and always held a special place in his heart for his mother.

Randy was preceded in death by his father, Lelton, and his mother, Dorothy, as well as his brothers David and H.B. He is survived by his two daughters, Kimberly and Monica, and his six grandchildren, Avery, Aidan, Alexander, Mackenzie, Madison, and Allison. He is also survived by his five siblings, Philip, Beverly, Carla, Jenny, and Sonja.

Randy was a faithful man who loved the Lord, his family, and his friends. May he rest in eternal peace. In lieu of flowers, we invite friends and family to donate to The Gideons International.
