Obituary of Lex P. Hildreth

Lex P. Hildreth, age 74, of Pensacola, Florida finished his fight with Parkinson’s on Wednesday, April 12, 2017. Lex took the path many young men did and married the love of his life, Pamela Joan, because he just couldn’t “take his eyes off of her”. He went on to serve his country, becoming a Sergeant in the Air Force and later worked in Civil Service NAS Pensacola until retirement. Lex was active in serving his church throughout his life. Everyone who knew him, was aware that, in Lex, they had found a man true to his word and always willing to offer support to those who needed it. He was a member of Olive Baptist Church. Lex was preceded in death by his father, Max, mother, Bernice, brother Max, Jr., and brother Hubert.
