Rev. Dr. Toussaint K. Hill

Promises from Jehovah God: Eliminate sickness, death, and comfort

Isaiah 33:24 No resident will say: I am sick, and death will be no more.

Rev 21:4 And he (Jehovah) will wipe out every tears from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning not outcry nor pain be anymore.

Isaiah 51:12 I (Jehovah) myself am the one that is comforting you.

I met Rev Hill when he first arrived in Atlanta to served on The Ebenezer Baptist Church staff under Dr. Joseph Roberts. We immediately connected as friends and Christian brothers. I assisted him on various church projects and got to know him more as a man than a pastor. I am a better man and Christian for having shared a few private moments with him about GOD and life.

Our dear pastor and friend. Your memory lives on--a legacy of love, spiritual leadership, friendship, and devotion. Our sincere condolences and prayers are with First Lady Laurel and the family. May you rest in heavenly peace. Wayne and Claudia Stokes

I am deeply saddened to hear of my dear friend and classmate's transition. Like most of us, I selfishly hoped for more time and a chance to talk with Rev. Dr. Toussaint Hill --one more time! But God has other plans.

I met Toussaint at Morehouse over 40 years ago. In fact, we lived on the 2nd floor of the historic, Graves Hall. He was from the very beginning on his mission of becoming a soldier and minister for Christ. I was always intrigued by him, as I felt like he was older than us because he was always dressed to the "nines," suited down, and headed to some important function.

Eventually, we got to know each other and we're in many of the same classes. He would always share with me the books and things that Dr. King had read. Little did I know at the time, he was leading me to deepen my faith as he shared these books with me.

Toussaint always made me feel like a brother and he was somebody you could confide in without reservation, he was indeed a friend.

We remained friends after Morehouse. And in close proximity, my first job, had me residing in Kenosha Wisconsin(sound familiar) while he was about 45 miles away at Garrett Theological Seminary. We would meet in Chicago and catch up on whatever was going on and even made it to Mayor Harold Washington's election and celebration at the McCormick Center.

Later he assisted in my marriage ceremony and I was always proud for having him in my wedding. Fortunately, I was able to meet Laurel, on one of their trips to Indianapolis, as they would come back to Indianapolis to visit her family.

My heartfelt condolences go out to her and family, which he was so proud of, and to all extended family and friends.

Sincerely,

Reed Armstead '81

We are so sorry for Laurel and the family's loss. May the wonderful memories of Toussaint fill your hearts with love. May he rest in peace. Much love, Mary and Ken Scialo-Bosshart.

Thank you for reading his favorite scripture first!...May God bless all of you, who weep. Sis. Van Smith Ebenezer Baptist Church

Meeting Toussaint as he was transitioning as a Morehouse Freshman was an absolute delight. HE was engaged in campus politics/issues from day one. As an upperclassmen, I saw 'greatness" in the making. Rest comfortably My Friend..... God Bless you and may he hold your family tighter Howlie Davis

With deepest sympathy to the family. Toussaint "Butch" has been an extended member of our family since birth. Our families have known each other for over 80 years. Butch was an awesome preacher, teacher and friend. He will be truly missed. His family will be in our prayers. Kristin Brown and Family - Greater Macedonia Baptist Church Family - Detroit, Michigan.

I am very gratful to God for Blessing my life with this great encouraging friend. He always included me in his family events and the special occassions of his children.

I met Toussaint as a freshman at Morehouse College in the fall of 1977. An articulate and debonair brother who knew what he wanted to do in life. His love and friendship and scholarship helped me navigate my way thru "Da House." Toussaint knew everyone and he made sure you knew those whom he knew. After graduation our paths went in different directions but reconnected upon his being called to pastor the West Hunter Street Baptist Church. I have already begun to miss his voice and his passion for preaching and shepherding God's sheep. I pray our God's strength and blessings upon the Hill family. And remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: "Death is not a period that ends the sentence of life, but rather an exclamamation mark that punctuates it to a loftier heofht." Shalom!

I met Toussaint as a freshman at Morehouse. We connected right away. He was already so clear about his calling as a preacher. Through the years Toussaint was friend, brother, advocate, counselor and advisor. Thank you for all you gave all of us. Take your rest, my friend. Walter L. Parrish III and Family

Toussaint was my Morehouse brother and truly loyal friend for nearly 40 years. His generous kindness toward me and my family shall never be forgotten. Keeping Laurel and the Hill/King/Hord family lifted in prayer for Spirit comfort and strength at this most difficult time. Blessings always, Timothy Tee Boddie,'81, and family

The smiles, the sermons, the spirituality were his greatest gifts that will be greatly missed. He loved talking about his sons. He loved the King James Bible. He would always open up that old small bible of his with the small print. His prayers were like mini sermons. We will always have great memories of our friend, Rev. Toussaint King Hill, Jr. May he, now, rest well.........Deaconess Van S.

My family and I will always remember the kindness that Dr. Hill showed us during the transition of our "Brother " Abdul Rahman. May he Rest In Peace. Sincerely Wadelle Saxon Olive

Toussaint was my roommate sophomore year. The coolest preacher. Rest In Paradise my Morehouse brother. Derrick Washington

Dr. Hill pastored both my Mother and Grandmother while serving at Baptist Temple in Pittsburgh, PA. He was an excellent pastor as he endeavored to reach people of every age and walk of life. I always enjoyed hearing his stirring and life changing messages whenever I would join Mom and Grandma in fellowship. Dr. Hill was a true businessman, always teaching others how to live a lives of prosperity, but not separate from a connection with Jesus Christ. Dr. Hill was a mentor to many and had a true love for children. He will truly be missed! Well done "Doc", well done. First Lady, Esther Morris Sheppard - First Baptist Church, Merrifield, VA

Rest well Pastor. Didn't have the opportunity to meet you but may the works you done speak for you.

Deepest sympathy. I truly appreciate the personal friendship that Dr. Hill and I developed over the years. I had the pleasure of introducing him when I got him to be one of the speakers for Christian Emphasis Week, at The Westminster Schools. I, as well as my family, appreciate Dr. Hill for allowing us to have my nephew's funeral at West Hunter and for participating in the service. I am so glad that I got to speak with him the week before his retirement to welcome him to the club. He will be missed by so many. RIP. Robert Nash

Rest well my friend our time at Morehouse In will treasure for life. Rev. Harold Kilgour

I remember Toussaint from freshman year, we shared many bad lunches, dinners and laughs at Morehouse. I will treasure our relationship forever. Rest In Peace my good friend

Words will never be able to express the breadth and depth of my gratitude to Dr. Hill for the many doors he held open for me with his foot, as he waived me forward with his hand. I will never forget it as I strive to pay forward the humility and compassion he showed me, even in the midst of storms. I'm at peace because I told you, the way you asked me to. Love, Mary Kay Williams

My dear friend of many years. Such a great spirit. We never got that round of golf in. Fairways and Greens, Pastor Hill Fairways and Greens!!!! Carolyn Ann Knight
