The Lord blessed the world with a loving life of Clifford Donnell Hillman. Clifford was born to the union of Mr. Matthew Hillman Sr. and Ms. Betty Jean Elsey on October 1, 1952. Clifford Hillman was born in French Camp, California. He moved to Kinder, Louisiana at the age of 5 years old. He attended Kinder High School; from there he enrolled in the Army Reserve at an early age. Clifford was a very hard-working man. This is where he found his passion in being an electrician. He continued in that field for over 40 years. When the subject about electrical work came up, his eyes would light up and he could talk for days about it. Clifford had many other jobs, including refrigeration but his passion was being an electrician. Clifford Hillman was a kind, caring and loving man, who gave his all to those he loved. Always had words of wisdom for those willing to listen. He took the time to listen and be there for his family and friends. He had a strong belief in the Lord, and he knew the power of prayer. He passed no judgement and truly was a wonderful man. He loved to see people happy and having fun. Clifford was called home on October 4, 2022 at the age of 70.

Awaiting his arrival at the gates was his father, Matthew Hillman Sr.; mother, Ms. Betty Jean Elsey; brother, Matthew Hillman Jr.; sister, Anna Marie Hillman and grandson, Ronald Celestine Jr.
