GRAY — Jerid M. Hill, 37, died on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 24, at his home.

He was born on Dec. 18, 1973, to Allan S. Hill and Mary Blackfeather. He was the most wonderful thing in our lives.

Jerid was an avid motocross racer, and won many trophies, including two Maine Motocross championships in a row. He just loved to be outdoors, and hunting with his father and family members. Jerid was a fabulous artist and was very modest about it. He had a great love for children, animals and everyone he met. He never judged anyone! He was understanding, kind and compassionate. He worked hard with his friends for A & P Concrete Flooring Co. for about 20 years. He was a good friend to all! We will greatly miss Jerid!

Jerid leaves behind his 3-month-old son, Gavin Corin. In their short time together there was much love. Jerid was so proud of his baby Gavin. He also leaves behind three special little friends whom he loved, and would want mentioned: Harlee, Haylie and Jaden; as well as a whole lot of friends and relatives.
