Doug passed away May 12, 2017 after a brief illness. Born on January 17, 1957 in Grosse Pointe to the late Melvin and Bernadette Hiller, Doug attended De La Salle Collegiate High School (Class of 1975). After owning his own business, Doug entered into the electrical trade in 1990, enjoying a long and successful career that ultimately lead to his role as Field Superintendent at Motor City Electric Company. He enjoyed nothing more than spending his free time up north, especially at his hunting camp in the eastern Upper Peninsula.
Doug was the proud father of his three sons, Anthony Douglas, Matthew John, and Timothy Robert – raising them with his best friend and former wife, Linda Hiller. He is survived by his siblings David (Janice), Kathleen (Kirk) Starkey, Patricia (Jon Belanger), and Donald (Teresa). He was predeceased by his brother, Daniel, in 2006. Doug was the adored uncle of eight nieces and nephews and fifteen great-nieces and nephews. He will also be greatly missed by extended family, coworkers, and close friends whom he loved dearly.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in the name of Douglas R. Hiller to the Make-A-Wish Foundation Michigan Chapter or the De La Salle Tuition Assistance Fund.

Doug, a special friend & big brother...I will miss you! There are no words to express the heartbreak for the loves of his life, Tony, Matt, Tim, David, Kathy, Patty, Don, Linda & the entire Hiller family. He was so passionate in his role as a dad, brother, friend and co-worker, he truly had an impact on everyone he met. He was so proud of his 3 sons who together with Linda they raised into great successful men. There are too many times to count, that he would one way or another prey on my naivety and swallow me into a bogus story and then silently chuckle when I finally figured it out. I will miss our 3 way conference calls when he would ask for advice and then ultimately always go with his original plan...stubborn right till the end. I know Mel, Skip, Danny and Doug are together tipping a few beers, sharing some smart A.. remarks while forever watching over all who have been left behind. I am grateful to have been touched by his life and will FOREVER hold him close to my heart. Love you all, Cindy Bucci
