Kenneth Ray Hill age 58 of Plainview passed away Monday, April 28, 2025 at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock.

Kenneth was born July 16, 1966 in Danville, Arkansas to the late Billy Ray & Linda Melton Hill.  He attended the Aly Community Church. Kenneth was a bus driver for the Two Rivers School for 40 years.

Kenneth has now gone on to his Heavenly home and is no longer in pain. His smile will forever be remembered and cherished. Even though he was struggling with discomfort, he was still smiling daily. That says a lot about this amazing man.

Most of you may know him as the "Best behind the scene" support for HILL STREET BLUES. He was always there, ready, and supporting them with all he had. But most importantly, he was also an amazing HUSBAND, FATHER, and FRIEND to many! When he wasn't helping  set up for a show, he was at home loving his family and caring for all their fur babies. Family as always been most important to him. This is a family that he and Kelly longed for, and it showed in the smiles they had daily. When he wasn't with his family, he was driving for Two Rivers School District. He cared for each child on that bus like they were his own. Protection of a father without fail.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
