RIP Evan Hill
Tributes have poured after a young pilot tragically died suddenly at home, leaving his family, friends and community heartbroken.
Evan Hill was from Donnybrook in Dublin and Waterford and died on September 19th, 2025, suddenly from a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage.
He was the beloved son of Gemma (née Greene) and Arnie and he will be very sadly missed by his heartbroken parents, his loving brothers David, and fellow triplets Gerard and Peter, together with his extended family and many friends including those from Belvedere College, Old Belvedere RFC and the Atlantic Flight Training Academy in Cork.
Atlantic Flight Training Academy made a special tribute for Evan which said: "It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the sudden and tragic passing of one of our AFTA cadets, Evan Hill.
Heartfelt messages have been left on RIP.ie, from those who knew and loved Evan, with one mourner writing,
"Prof, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and the family during this unimaginably difficult time. Sending you strength and comfort and please know that your work family stands beside you with deepest sympathy and support".

Another message said, "Evan was a wonderful, kind, caring man. It was a pleasure to spend some time, share laughs and struggles with him in flight school. He always saw the best in people and brought joy to every situation he was in. He taught me a lot, and I’ll forever be grateful. Rest in Peace. Fly high, man".
"Sincere condolences to you Arnie, Gemma, Evans brothers on the sudden death of your precious son. Praying that you may get strength this sad and difficult time. May Evan rest in peace, may good memories of him give you some consolation. Thinking of you all," another person said.
Another person said, "To all who loved Evan, you are in our thoughts at this very sad time. Words fail me when a beautiful boy is taken so suddenly from you all. Rest in peace Evan Hill".
