Michael Eugene Hill died at the age of 23 in Fairbanks, Alaska at his residence under suspicious circumstances. A subsequent inquest came to the conclusion he was "killed by person or persons unknown", though nobody has ever been charged with his death.
He was born in Pomona, California on Thanksgiving Day, the only son of Eugene B. Hill and Cleo Slayton Hill. His three sisters are DeAnna Hill Orris, Jacqueline Hill Denning, and Joni Hill,
Mike was a handsome young man with dark hair and very blue eyes. He had double cowlicks in the front of his hair that he spent most of his life trying to tame. As a young child he was happy and outgoing as he grew up in Alaska, California, and Nevada. He loved his Davey Crockett coonskin hat, and his six-guns as he rode his imaginary horse with great gusto.
He would eventually grow up, meet and marry Kathy G'ampietro and have one child, a son, Michael E. Hill, Jr. Mike and Kathy later divorced.
At the time of his death Mike was employed in the construction industry through Operating Engineers Local 302, following in the tradition of his father, Gene Hill, and his brother-in-law, Gary Orris. The year was 1975, during the boom of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline project. The town was swollen with people from every corner of the world, all wanting to get rich quick by any means possible. The population and subsequent crime sky-rocketed, and overwhelmed the small police force of that era. It was truly a frontier town.
Mike was a quiet, but often very funny young man, who loved to tease his sisters. He was very much loved by his family, and his absence is still felt these many years later.
