Jairus LaVar Hill

Jairus (J.J.) LaVar Hill was born into this life on January 23, 1994, and passed from this life on November 10, 2026.

Jairus was an extremely loving caring person. His love language was physical touch, and he gave the best hugs (and kisses to Grandma and Mom). Jairus was the kind of person who would literally give someone the shirt off his back if he thought they needed it more. At times in Jairus’s adult life, he gave away all his physical possessions to those he felt needed them more.

Jairus loved all kinds of food. Some of his favorite treats were foot longs from Country Grub, his dad’s Navajo tacos, his grandpa’s homemade jerky, his mom’s homemade snickerdoodle and peanut butter cookies, his sister's street tacos, and going out to eat with his grandma. Jairus also loved sweets, and he shared that love with his grandma.

Jairus most recently worked at Western Park in Vernal, Utah, where he loved his job and the people he worked with.

Jairus is survived by his parents: Brent and Kendra Hill (Colorado); sisters: Laryssa Hill (Josh Miller, Colorado), Kyara Jackson (Colorado) and Elodie Jackson-Hill (Ohio); three nieces and one nephew; grandparents: Greg and Dawnette Simmons (Vernal, Utah), Randall and Paula Kepner (Kentucky), aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Jairus was preceded in death by grandparents: Franklin Jairus and Gina Sue Hill, Aunt Legena Hill, and best friend Jennifer Peterson.

Jairus is deeply missed and will be forever.
