Managing Partner
I was raised in the small town of Los Lunas, New
Mexico. When I was 16 years old I got my first job typing death certificates at
the local funeral home after school. I was fascinated by every aspect of
funeral service and on my 18th birthday applied for my New Mexico intern
licenses to officially begin my career.
While serving veterans and their families, I recognized the honorable sacrifice these men and women had made for our country. I decided to join the U.S. Navy and served six honorable years on active duty as a Hospital Corpsman. During that time, however, I never lost my passion for funeral service. I used my education benefits to attend the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. I continued my studies and received a Bachelor of Science from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Science from the University of Florida. I am a member of the American Legion post 159.
During my college years I met an incredible man by the name of JJ. We married and together have a young daughter, Mackenzie. We moved to the Bryan – College Station area during the summer of 2020 and are excited to be Texans!

Locations Manager / Funeral Director
I originally joined the Hillier team when I was recruited by
a past managing partner. He saw how I organized and created events, and wanted
my “eye for detail” to be a part of Hillier’s way of celebrating life.
I have a passion for
being an active Bryan-College Station community member, and joining Hillier was
another way to do just that! I have also served our community by being involved
during the past 20 years with various organizations such as- the City of Bryan
Community Development Advisory Committee, American Red Cross, Parent-Teacher
Organizations, Voices for Children (CASA), the B-CS Chamber of Commerce, the
Bryan Cemetery Board, Knights of Columbus Council 11759, and the College Station
Kiwanis Club, where I cherish mentoring various youth leadership and service
organizations. I am also a member of the National Funeral Service Honor
Society. “Service… it’s not a big thing, it’s a million little things.”
I was born in Lafayette, Louisiana and graduated from
University of Louisiana at Lafayette before moving to Bryan-College Station in
1994 to attend Graduate School at Texas A&M University. I had spent 23
years in the banking and financial services industry before joining the Hillier
Team in April of 2013.
I have been joyfully married to Melissa Duhon for 18 years.
We have four amazing children, Taylor, Kelsey, Austin, and Marybeth. We are all
members of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bryan. Our home is a welcoming home,
where we welcome anyone that needs help or a place to stay. We often have
foreign exchange students from Brazil living with us, and recently players of
the Bombers. We open our home to anyone that is need with a welcoming smile,
home cooked meals, and open arms!
Besides serving our community, I like to socialize at community events, I enjoy a good TV series, and I love a good plate of sushi! I hope to one day visit the pyramids in Egypt, the Vatican, and also spend time viewing the Roman Architecture.

Funeral Director
I originally joined the Hillier Team to become part of a community. I am overwhelmed with the welcoming atmosphere of the Hillier FAMILY and of the BCS community. I have found a home at Hillier where I am allowed to truly serve families and this community.
In the time that I have enjoyed living in Bryan-College
Station, I have been able to become active in the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary
of Aggieland, Hospice Brazos Valley, and the Young Professionals of Aggieland.
Although I was raised in Cajun Country, I have embraced the Aggie Spirit and
value the traditions and high ethics I have experienced here in Aggieland.
In my spare time, I enjoy photography, walking through Hudson Trails, reptile rescue, and vacationing in Louisiana where I can “laissez les bons temps rouler.” I aspire to build up enough courage to one day skydive over Aggieland.

Assistant Funeral Director
I chose to work for Hillier because of Hillier's
reputation of providing the highest level of service to our families and our
community, but I choose to stay at Hillier because everyone here is filled with
so much love and compassion; Hillier has become my family.
I am involved within the community through my involvement
with American Business Women's Association and the BCS Chamber of Commerce. I
am, also, currently attending Commonwealth Institution of Funeral Service to
further my education and accomplish my goal of becoming a member of a Disaster
Mortuary Operational Response Team.
I'm sure I'll reach my goal one day, "You must do
the thing you think you cannot do." --Eleanor Roosevelt.
I work and study mostly, but I take the time to enjoy the
small things like hiking and camping, reading, and binging on zombie shows. I
am highly interested in traveling to other countries, and would absolutely love
to take a trip to Paris, France!
I am grateful for the time I've had so far working with everyone at Hillier, and honoring the families and loved ones we serve every day. I love the present, and look forward to what the future holds!
Bereavement Coordinator
I have always wanted to pursue a career as a funeral director, so choosing to join Hillier’s team was no question! I appreciate Hillier’s way of honoring loved ones’ lives by celebrating. I would entrust Hillier to take care of my family because I know, honestly know, that they would honor and care for my loved ones as if they were their own family. I plan to further my career by going to school to obtain my license to be a Funeral Director, and be able to help many more families. I have truly found a place to grow, serve, and flourish as a part of the Hillier Family.
I am a part of and support many local organizations in the
Bryan/College Station area, and enjoy every minute of it! I am a member of
American Business Women’s Association (ABWA), the Brazos County Chamber of
Commerce, and Habitat for Humanity.
I was born in College Station, but grew up in small town
Milano, Texas, where I spent many days on the river and enjoying anything outdoors!
Going fishing with my Dad was a huge part of my childhood. I love fish with my
family, and enjoy the serenity of being out in nature. I enjoy taking Bebe, my
Labrador, to the dog park. Travelling and antique shopping are some of my favorite
hobbies. I hope to visit Israel one day, it’s on my bucket list! Decorating has
always been an interest of mine, creativity is just natural to me.
“Live every day as if it was your last.”
Bereavement Coordinator
I found my passion at Hillier, completely unexpectedly. I
came here to work a service as a part-time job, and then came to work full-time
as a Bereavement Coordinator, helping grieving families celebrate their loved
ones’ life. I realized my passion for serving families in their time of need
was something I needed to pursue as a long-term career, and I am beginning
mortuary school to further my career as a funeral director. When I started at Hillier,
I was amazed by the manner that Hillier catered to our families, ensuring to
honor and celebrate their loved ones the way they wanted to remember them.
Hillier has now become a part of my life, and I am so grateful to have my
Hillier family supporting me to grow and develop in my career.
I was born in Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and moved to the
states with my family when I was very young. The year 2010 was a big year for
me, as I obtained my dual citizenship and began my education at Texas A&M
University. I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology, and
began working in the hospitality industry, until I found my true calling at
Hillier. I am involved in the community through the BCS Chamber of Commerce.
I have two loves in my life, my calico cat named Gypsy, and,
my wiener dog named Ellie. I enjoy taking Ellie out for walks, loving on Gypsy
while we watch movies, and going to the pool. Travelling is another joy of
mine, I want to eventually visit Costa Rica to see the mountains, rain forests,
beaches, and volcanoes!
“Don’t let your yesterday’s mistakes ruin your tomorrow’s potential”
Bereavement Coordinator
I began working at Hillier because my Dad works here and he only had good things to say, always encouraging me to apply. Once I joined the team, I realized that Hillier is more than a funeral home but a family. They are a family for us as employees but also to the families we serve. We make sure to take care of our families' needs and are there for them with exceptional service.
I was born and raised in College Station, Texas. I am a member of Antioch Community Church where I gained many friends. I love to cook and learn how to bake new recipes! My dog, Charlie, and I enjoy going to the dog park to have some fun outdoors.
I have so many hopes and dreams for my future and I have found a place at Hillier to prepare for those dreams to come true. I am a student at Texas A&M University, aspiring to become a doctor. I am proud to work at Hillier as I continue my education at Texas A&M. I have the support here to continue my education and begin my journey to owning my own practice.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:38-39
Preneed Consultant
My name is Jordan but feel free to call me JJ. I was born in Dallas, Texas but grew up with my family in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I graduated from Albuquerque High School (Go Bulldogs!) and studied at the University of New Mexico before starting a career in sales. I loved the challenge of sales but after years in the industry I wanted something more. I wanted more meaning in my career. I was sitting on the back porch of Glenn’s house when he suggested I preplan funerals. Fast forward to today and here I am working hard in my community to convey the importance and value in planning ahead.
If you had not yet noticed our same last names, I am married to Amanda. When not at Hillier, I love being with my family. Our daughter, Mackenzie, is a daddy’s girl and I love every moment with her. I also enjoy golfing so if you ever want to meet for an early tee time, give me a call.

Office Coordinator / Marketing Specialist
I have enjoyed every day of my two years of working at
Hillier! I love working for Hillier because I believe Hillier has the biggest
servant's heart of all the funeral homes in the Bryan and College Station area.
It is evident, in my opinion, from the way everybody pays attention to details
and spends the time needed to ensure we serve each family the way that they need.
We all hold our values highly, and strive to be hard-working, compassionate,
and honest.
I moved to the Bryan/College Station when I began my
bachelor's degree in marketing at Texas A&M University. I was involved with
Christian Business Leaders and The Student Retailing Association. I spent three
years with an internship at TEEX, and was part of the Bryan Fire Fighter
Academy. After graduating, I started working at Hillier where I am able to utilize
my skills in marketing and accounting. Now, I dedicate my time as a member of
BCS Chamber of Commerce and I am highly involved with Grace Bible Church on
Anderson.
In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing tennis, and writing music. I also like to practice my skills working on my own graphic design and photography projects. I adore my family and friends and try to be a positive light for them. My inspiration from positivity comes from, "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." --Martin Luther King Jr.
Cremation Specialist
I began my journey with Hillier after Hillier held services
for a brother firefighter. I have served as at the City of Bryan Fire
Department for over 20 years, currently as the Chaplain, so to see Hillier take
care of one of my fellow brothers with such care as they did, I was amazed.
They put so much detail into celebrating and honoring his life. I chose to work
at Hillier because of how much everyone cares about helping families. The respect
that each family is given, and the compassionate staff who really care, is what
makes Hillier good enough for my family.
I attended Lansing Christian College and received Ordination
in June 2000, through the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ. I then received
my Doctorate of Theology in May of 2014, and started serving as Senior Pastor
at Faith Apostolic Temple. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Anna. We
have had over 40 wonderful years together!
I love to read and golf, even though I’m not the best
golfer! I enjoy spending time with my family, eating out with my wife and
spending time with my grandchildren. One day, I hope to visit Italy with my
wife. I am a notorious jokester, and enjoy making people laugh!
“Try to make someone laugh, even if it is just for a moment.”
Funeral Support
I began working at Hillier because while working at my previous job, one of our funeral directors approached me and informed me about a position. One thing led to another, and I became a part of the Hillier family. I would choose Hillier for my family because we are exceptional at helping families through grief and sadness with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care.
I was raised in Pattison, TX where I developed a
passion for raising animals. In fact, during my time in 4H, I was a champion
livestock judge. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time watching war
movies, cooking, and playing bass guitar. One of my biggest passions is music,
specifically rock from the 70’s and 80’s. My favorite band is Journey and it is
a dream of mine to meet and play with them one day.
“Where there is a will, there is a way.”
Office Assistant
Howdy! I grew up in Reno,
Nevada, and moved to College Station the summer of 2003. I am happy to call
College Station home and be a part of this growing community. I started working
at Hillier, because I wanted to continue to help families in our area. Our team
goes above and beyond to celebrate the life of a loved one, and strives to make
each service personalized. No person has lived the same life, so why should
every service be the same?
Currently, I am pursuing a
degree in Renewable Energy and Natural Resources. I am fascinated with water,
clean energy, and autonomous/biotecture homes. I hope to have my own Earthship
one day and contribute to sustainable development projects around the world.
In my free time, you can
find me cycling around Aggieland or trying to keep my garden alive. However,
I am no stranger to an impromptu camping trip with my kiddo. My dream
adventure would be visiting the tulip fields in the Netherlands and seeing the
Van Gogh Museum.
“If Frodo can get the Ring to Mordor, then I can be
productive and learn something new.”
You are welcome to call us any time of the day, any day of the week.
You may also visit our funeral home in person at your convenience.
