Charles Michael Hill

March 5, 1949 - September 9, 2020

Charles “Chuck” Michael Hill, 71, of Alden, passed away on September 9, 2020 with his family by his side at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. He was born on March 5, 1949 in Garden City to the late Gwin and Flora (Knight) Hill. Chuck was a man with a big heart who was always willing to help others especially his family and close friends. He was a carpenter by trade, and builder at heart whose dream was to build his own home. He completed this dream and it was his masterpiece. Chuck was always fun to talk to and had a great sense of humor. He could be quick to temper, but was always quick to forgive and love as well. He was larger than life. His adventures took him from the high ways to the high seas; he lived life to the fullest. Chuck is survived by his children Laura (John) Neal and Wayne Hill; grandchildren Baylen and Caleb Neal; siblings: Jean Sevon, Ron (Melody) Hill, Carol Greer, Kathie (Steven) Wistie, Theresa Johnson and sisters in law Jeria and Therese Hill; his nieces and nephews who fondly called him King Chuck; and close friends Sharon House and Austin Waite and many more friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his siblings John and Daniel Hill. A celebration of Chuck’s life will be scheduled on his birthday March 5, 2021; times to be announced. Arrangements have been entrusted to Kalkaska Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
