Donnie Wayne Hill of Sheridan, Arkansas was born November 8, 1954 at Malvern, Arkansas, the son of the late Edward and Elizabeth Mathis Hill. He was a very active member of First Landmark Baptist Church, where he served as Deacon, and had taught several Sunday School Classes over the years. Once of his greatest legacies will be the labor of love that he put into the Celebrate Recovery Ministry at First Landmark, and the lives that have been blessed as a result. He was a 1973 graduate of Sheridan High School, and had worked for West Fraser, formerly International Paper, for 47 years. In his spare time he enjoyed wood working, fishing, and hunting, especially the youth hunt. He was a longtime member, and past president, of Sheridan Hunting Club. Donnie also enjoyed coaching, and supporting his boys baseball teams while they were growing up. He also was an organ donor.

Mr. Hill died Monday, November 23, 2020 at Arkansas Heart Hospital in Little Rock, at the age of 66.
