Obituary of Charles Michael Hilt

Charles Michael Hilt (Charlie) passed away on August 23. Survived by parents Mike and Susan Hilt and siblings Calvin and Sawyer, Charlie was the beloved grandson of Robert and Elaine Hilt and Fred and Carol Stark, as well as uncles John, Ken, Geoff and Steve, and aunts, Genny, Stephanie, Becky and Tara, and cousins Clay (deceased), Ted and Allie, Amanda, Jacquie, Johnny, and Layla. Born in Wisconsin, Charlie was an avid Packers and Bucks fan. During his time living in Chicago, he got to see the Cubs win the World Series. His favorite thing to do was spend time with family and many friends from high school and Carthage College, where he was President of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. After graduation Charlie went into investment banking. Charlie was a snappy dresser with a keen, eclectic sense of style. He loved sports, politics, music, working out and great food, especially his ‘Momma’s’. He loved the family poker games, which he always won. His parents count themselves very lucky to have had Charlie to dinner two or three times a week, including a Sunday dinner ritual, during the last few years. Charlie’s enthusiasm for life and the love he had for everyone around him, including Fluffy, will live on. He will be forever missed, forever loved. A private service is being held on Saturday, and friends may reach out to www.cremationsocietyofmn.com to post notes, memories or reach the family.
