It is with a broken heart that I must announce the passing of my remarkable husband, Clint Hill. He died peacefully at home, in my arms, on February 21, 2025.

From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark between us. We had that once-in-a-lifetime love that everyone hopes for—a relationship filled with passion, respect, admiration, and the pure joy of being together. I am eternally grateful for every day and every moment of the past 15 years we shared. To us, forever. Rest in Peace my Sweet Prince. ❤️

snip-"Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who leaped onto the back of President John F. Kennedy’s limousine after the president was shot, then was forced to retire early because he remained haunted by memories of the assassination, has died. He was 93.

Hill died Friday at his home in Belvedere, California, according to his publisher, Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. A cause of death was not given.:

snip-"On the day of the assassination, Hill was assigned to protect first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and was riding on the left running board of the follow-up car directly behind the presidential limousine as it made its way through Dealey Plaza."

snip-"Zapruder’s film captured Hill as he leaped from the Secret Service car, grabbed a handle on the limousine’s trunk and pulled himself onto it as the driver accelerated. He forced Mrs. Kennedy, who had crawled onto the trunk, back into her seat as the limousine sped off."

3. That was quite an athletic feat by Agent Hill.

Over the years, I have occasionally reflected on Agent Hill's quick reflexes and his remarkable agility. He was just barely able to grasp the handle of the limo as it accelerated.
