It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of John A. "Jack" Hillanbrand, who left this world on April 28, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on February 23, 1959, in Philadelphia, PA, Jack was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, known for his unwavering spirit and generous heart.
Jack was predeceased by his parents John E. and Elgie (nee Morey) Hillanbrand. He was a proud father to Martin and Jack (Erin Murray) and the late Christopher. He took immense pride in being a grandfather to Brent, Alexis, Trevor, Mercedes, LJ, Brayden, Briella, and Jamison. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren, Olivia, Dean, and Dawn. Jack was also a loving brother to Robin, Donna, Starr, Elgie, Jean, Scott, Patty, Little Roger, and the late Big Roger, Charles, and Joe. He leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will carry his memory in their hearts.
A man of profound warmth, Jack was known to be a family guy, devoted to taking care of everyone around him. His passion for sports, especially his love for the Philadelphia teams, showcased his vibrant personality. Jack could often be found at the Hilltown Tavern, where he was a beloved regular and a friend to many. To know him was to love him; he was truly a one-of-a-kind individual whose genuine nature and larger-than-life presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
In honor of Jack's life, his family will greet guests at Koller Funeral Home on May 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM, followed by a Memorial Service at 8:00 PM . Friends and family are invited to come together to celebrate his remarkable life and share cherished memories. Interment is Private.
Jack's spirit will forever remain alive in the hearts of those who loved him.
May he rest in peace.
