Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

Lyle E. Hilkemeier

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lyle E. Hilkemeier (age 84) on September 1, 2023. Yet it is with happy souls to know he is reunited with his wife, Anita, in Heaven with the Lord.

Lyle was born on June 3, 1939 to Fred W. Hilkemeier and Dorothy (Schroder) Hilkemeier in Stuart, NE. He served in the Marine Corps prior to marrying Anita Jackson on March 3, 1963 in Kimball, NE. He is survived by their 3 sons: Lesten (Jennifer), Larry, Lonnie (Teresa) and his sister Margery Higdon, his 9 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.

Lyle was a civil servant by occupation. He was a servant to all by choice. Dad was happiest surrounded by his family and playing with his grandchildren & great grandchildren. Being outside gardening and mowing his lawn also brought him great joy.

Funeral services will be held at Faith Lutheran Church in Colorado Springs on Wednesday, September 20th @ 10 am. He will be laid to rest with military honors at Fort Logan National Cemetery that same day @ 2 pm.

Dad wishes to share that Love, Kindness and a "dad" joke make life better!
