Devin Hille

Devin Richard Hille left us on July 14, 2013 in Virden,New Mexico. Devin was born on October 19, 1990 in Safford, AZ to Richard and Stacy Hille. Devin was very active. He loved to climb things and always exploring things. He loved playing baseball and always could hit the home runs. His love for trucks and cars started at an early age. He bought his first Jeep from Grandpa Hille when he was 15. After that, he rebuilt his first engine. That started the love of trucks and his passion for being a mechanic even though he wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps. This love eventually led to rock crawling and mud bogging. After 5 years of working on his Jeep, he finally got it out of the yard and his dream of entering it in a mud bog came true. He liked to hunt and fish, especially hand fishing on the Gila River. Camping was another of his loves with his Grandma and Grandpa Bennett and family and friends. His love for welding was inherited from his dad and Grandpa.
