John was born on August 1, 1967 to Paul and Dolores (Matzke) Hileman. He grew up in St. Paul Park but spent the majority of his life in Stillwater, MN. John worked as a security officer for much of his working years. He also actively volunteered when and wherever he could in the community. John adopted a fire hydrant located on the corner of Griggs and Dayton in St. Paul. He took pride in keeping it clear of snow and debris providing easy access for firefighters if needed. He was also known to have a soft heart for all animals.
John's true affinity was for all things of 'authority' and had the greatest respect for police, firemen or people of service. He was always quick and ready to lend a hand in an emergency. John was even honored with a Certificate of Appreciation for his support of the St. Paul police for his assistance in a citizen's arrest. Without the limitations of his disability, he absolutely would have been working alongside those in public service that he so admired.
John is survived by sisters Joyce Graves, Cathy (John) Weninger and Vicki (Andy) Weller; brother Bob (and partner Jeremy Pelegrin) Hileman; nephew Brian Weller; and niece Nicole Weller. He is preceded in death by parents, Paul and Dolores Hileman.
