State Senator Jack Hill, a longtime Georgia lawmaker and Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has passed away.
The news about the Senator from Georgia’s 4th district – which includes Bulloch, Candler, Effingham, Emanuel (pt.), Evans and Tattnall (pt.) counties, broke Monday evening on Governor Brian Kemp’s Facebook page:
No additional details were immediately made available.
Re-elected in 2018 to his 15th two-year term, Senator Hill was first elected to the Georgia State Senate in 1990 as a Demcrat. He also served as the Vice Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, and as a member on the Natural Resources and the Environment and Regulated Industries and Utilities committees in the Senate, as well as an ex-officio member of the Finance Committee.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth Ann, three children, and seven grandchildren.

May you find that God can deliver you from your horrible attributes to society. This man was a father and loving husband. If someone said this to you during such times as death and loss of a loved one…the hurt you would feel.

Jack Hill was an extraordinary friend to the family of George and Emma Kelly and all members of his District. He gave the word ‘politician’ a good name. He will be sorely missed.

I met Jack Hill when I lived in Reidsville, he owned a grocery store and I remember his Mom working there . He was always very nice and caring about his customers, I was pleased to see him in Office, I know he stood by his beliefs. My thoughts and Prayers are with all the family and friends.
