Mr. Ernest Wortham “E. W.” Hill, Jr., died Monday, Feb. 8, 2021, at his home in the Caney Spring community of Chapel Hill. He was born on June 27, 1954 in Lewisburg, TN to Clara Harber Hill and the late Ernest Wortham Hill, Sr. He was a graduate of the Class of 1972 at Eagleville High School.
E.W. retired in January of 2020 from Volunteer Materials, where he had worked many years and served as office manager and rock salesman.

As an avid walker for over 20 years, E. W. completed the St. Jude Music City ½ Marathon every year since 2010.
E. W. was a loving husband, son, father and stepfather. He had a compassion for people and enjoyed picking at people and bragging on the little ones. He never met a stranger nor forgot a face. He was known for his quick wit, his extension of friendships and his compassionate spirit; but, the thing E. W. was well known for was letting you know he was “a life long, avid Alabama Football Fan.”
