Passing of this dear friend
Kevin E. Gladhill aka "Hobbes" passed away today November 28, 2015, of complications caused by cancer, taken from his loving family way to young, honored Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, friend, and US Army Veteran.

You will never be forgotten brother, you left an indelible mark on this world, your service to country, and your fellow man so freely you served others, both in this life and those that have gone on before you. Heavenly Father is well pleased in you, you are no longer suffering in pain, though your family and those who know and love you are saddened this day, we know that you are well, but the mortal beings that we are feel the wrenching of our hearts for your family, may the Lord bless and keep them safe and console their hearts, that they do remember the loving happy gentle man that you were and are that they will again hold you close, that this separation is but for a season in all the eternities that your family will forever be together again.

Thank You my friend, fellow Veteran, and brother, for the spirit that you so freely shared with all you came in contact with.
Love you Hobbes!

Kevin Eugene Gladhill, 48, Sterling, Illinois died Saturday, November 28, 2015, at CGH Medical Center after a brief fight with cancer.

Kevin was born on October 15, 1967, in Sterling, Illinois, the son of Calvin Gladhill and Joyce (Fargher) Gladhill. He graduated from Rock Falls High School in 1986, attended Sauk Valley, and Black Hawk colleges, and was working toward his business degree prior to his passing. He fulfilled his childhood dream of serving his country by completing a three-year tour of duty in the US Army from 1986 to 1989.

On May 5, 1991, he married his eternal companion Angela Sue Coy. Kevin had a high degree of integrity and responsibility in his work and personal life. His strong work ethic earned him the position of Quality Manager at Dana Corp, Sterling, IL.
