Hilton Overton, Jr. Obituary

He always always inspired me to speak my truth. That is what inspired me to
write my upcoming Autobiography. Raw and uncut. I hope I make you proud, Mr. O.

you will be greatly missed from your nephew jeffery cole

We grew up with Hilton as children in Southwest Washington, DC. Hilton was always a gentleman or gentlechild. A Christian from the heart he always showed God's love to all. We went to Zion Baptist Church just a few doors from the Overton home. The parents would send all of the children to the church down the street for Sunday School. God's love was taught and shown through Hilton's actions and words. Rest in peace until we meet again. Tyrone and Oceola Young Briscoe...

One of the most inspiring teachers I had at Banneker. He prepared me for senior English with F. Mulcahey. An achiever, indeed. Peace and love to the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Overton was a great human being and educator!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Uncle Brother, you were one of the best examples of what a "Man" should be! Growing up you provided so many of your nieces & nephews with a strong educational foundation and supported us in everything we did as long as "Those Grades Were Straight"! I'll always remember our conversation we had right before I graduated High School..."Nephew, your about to step into the real world now, life doesn't care what you've done before this point, so go and make

I'll always remember our conversation we had right before I graduated High School..."Nephew, your about to step into the real world now, life doesn't care what you've done before this point, so go and make that Overton name proud." - I hope I've done just that Unk!!! Give Grandma & Grandpa Overton and Aunt Katherine a Big hug from me!!!

Condolences to the Family of Brother Overton'. I Knew Him As A Member of The ZION Baptist Church'-where we were both Members.

Mr. Overton was a brilliant and dedicated professional. Every time I spoke with him I learned something. Compassionate, humanitarian, integrity are just a few terms that come to mind to describe Mr. Overton. He was a wonderful mentor to me and many others. I am grateful to have worked alongside him. He was dedicated to the Achievers!
