Truman

Hilliard

Truman Eugene Hilliard, 79, from Wyandotte, OK passed away in the early morning of Aug 27, 2025 at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, MO. Truman was born on December 14, 1945 in Grove, OK. He was preceded in death by his daughter Stacy Gonzalez and is survived by son Randy Hilliard (Betsy), son-in-law Paul Gonzalez, granddaughter Natasha Gonzalez, grandson Dylan Gonzalez, great-granddaughter Aurora Gonzalez and sister Donna Jackson (BJ) as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Truman was a proud veteran of the US Army. He most enjoyed driving over all the dirt roads in the 4-state area. When he couldn't be driving, he loved telling stories of his time driving trucks and bulldozers while in the military and as a civilian. He was a good father and successfully worked hard to provide a good life for his family. He will be missed. In the coming few weeks, his ashes will be spread over some of his favorite dirt roads.
