Michael David Hillis
June 3, 1963 — March 8, 2020
Michael David Hillis, age 56 of Akron passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 8, 2020. He was born on June 3, 1963, the son of Jakey Hillis and Donna (Chet){Sawan} Puett.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents, and grandparents, Nathan and Alma Sawan.
He will be dearly missed by his children, Renee Hillis, Michelle Hillis and David Hillis; grandchildren Grace Scheck and Camden Hillis; sisters Jackie and Terrie (Gary) Thayer; brother Wayne (Kelly) Hillis; nieces and nephews Kathy, Julie, Mike and Jessica; and many, many friends.
Mike's family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Mike's dear friend Barb, for her compassionate care and support.
Mike was a kid at heart, and loved his animals and children. He had a giving spirit, and never turned down an opportunity to help someone in need. Mike loved to ride his motorcycle, and play with his "big kid" toys, like his remote control cars, dirt bikes and electronics. He was compassionate and open-minded, and used those aspects of his personality in his career as a Sheriff's Deputy for Summit County. Mike knew someone everywhere he went, and his magnetic and charismatic spirit will be missed by all who knew him.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, March 15, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., with a service to follow at 4:00 p.m. at Newcomer, Akron Chapel, 131 N. Canton Rd. Akron.
