Unexpectedly, an unfortunate event hit us all the morning of 6 October, 2024, our beloved son, father, uncle, cousin and friend, Shawn Demetrius Hill was called home.
Shawn was born to Kathleen Walker and Larry Hill on 19 September, 1978 while residing in Amelia, Va. Some knew him as "Slick", the name our late grandfather Harry Evans called him because he was always so mischievous or "Puff" but most people simply called him Shawn. As a child his grandparents ensured he attended church regularly, although as an adult he was not actively a member but he believed in God and family. He attended Amelia Elementary School for a few years before moving to Chesterfield. Shawn also attended Tuskegee Institute Middle School in Tuskegee, AL; Falling Creek Elementary School, Salem Church Middle School and Meadowbrook High School located in Chesterfield, VA.
Shawn was an avid music lover, had an eye for fashion, talented poet and believed in promoting small black owned businesses through his many social media platforms.
