It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved father, David Chill, on the evening of Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024. He left us due to a medical event that tragically led to an automobile accident in Hermitage, PA. As we come to terms with this sudden loss, we find solace in remembering the remarkable man he was. In accordance with his wishes, there will not be a formal ceremony to commemorate his life. Instead, close friends and family will gather for an intimate, private gathering to share cherished memories and find comfort in each other’s company.
It’s a reflection of our father’s modest and down-to-earth nature, as he valued the simplicity and authenticity of personal connections. David had a profound love for nature, finding peace and beauty in the outdoors that brought him so much joy throughout his life.
In honor of his memory, we invite all those who knew him – friends, family, and acquaintances alike – to take a walk in nature, embracing the serenity and tranquility that he held dear. It was in the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the gentle embrace of the wind that he found solace, and we believe that honoring him in this way would be a fitting tribute to his spirit.
For those who wish to express their condolences in a tangible manner, we kindly suggest making a donation in David’s name to Moraine State Park, his favorite retreat and a place that held a special spot in his heart.
Contributions can be sent to Moraine State Park at 225 Pleasant Valley Rd, Portersville, PA 16105. Your generosity will help preserve the natural beauty that brought our father immense joy and contribute to the continued maintenance and improvement of this cherished park.
In this time of grief, we extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of support and sympathy. We find strength in the memories we shared with our father and take comfort in knowing that he would have wanted us to celebrate his life in a way that aligns with the simplicity and beauty he cherished.
May we all find solace in the embrace of nature, just as David did, and may his legacy live on through the love and connections we share with each other.
