Thankful to have had such a wonderful dad


Gregory Hilton 1953 ~ 2009 Gregory Kim Hilton passed away on Tuesday, October 6, 2009 of heart failure. In deed, his heart was so large from caring for so many. Greg lived his entire life in one home, his family home in Murray. Greg wore many hats. Without question his favorite role in life was loving his pride joy, Kimberly Pookie Bear Bradbury. And Greg only had one job - growing and running his father's radio station with his family and friends, turning KSOP into a pillar of Salt Lake. Among other things, Greg single handedly turned scrubs into a cool outfit for those outside the medical world and recently added a tie-dyed twist. Greg, a.k.a. Grudda Hilltop, lived well yet not long enough. He shared a birthday, March 10, with more relatives than the writer can remember. He is survived by Kimberly and Jonathan Bradbury, Colleen Witt Hilton, Jessica and Michael Shannon, Henry Hilton, Michael Hilton, Kathy and John LaValley, Don and Karen Hilton, Christopher Hilton, Tommy and Tracy Hilton, Amy and Jason Sazama, Ravi Dharnidharka, Rajiv Dharnidharka, Sarah and Shaun Sparks, Layla and Jason Aronow, Robert and Daisy Hilton, Rebecca Hilton, and several little munchkins, including two Xanders. He joins his mother Luana, brother Eric, and brother Sajjan. Please join us this Saturday, October 10th at 2 p.m. to celebrate Greg's life at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley Mortuary, located at 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10600 South), with a viewing from 12:30 - 1:45 p.m. Interment (likely Greg's) at Murray City Cemetery. Donations to Greg's favorite charity Utah Food Bank in lieu of flowers, please. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.jenkins-soffe.com



It's been a month now since I've lost my best friend, my dad. I love him so much and my heart hurts everyday from losing him. I feel like I need him here with me so much! Sometimes life isn't fair and takes away those we love too soon. I love you dad and miss you so much!
