Chad Edward Hilderbrand

Chad Edward Hilderbrand, 47, of South Vienna, OH, passed away on March 23, 2026. He was born in Springfield, OH to Cindy (Guisinger) Cross and Nova Wilson.

Chad was a master flooring installer and classic car restorer. He was known for his exceptional work ethic and remarkable craftsmanship, but more importantly his unwavering devotion to his family. Chad was the life of every party and the first person anyone would call in a catastrophe. He particularly enjoyed fishing, restoring his classic cars, playing pool and going on adventures with his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Jessica, their three children Shania, Ethan, and Cassidy, three precious grandchildren Kayson, Kingston, and Karter; his mother Cindy Cross and father-in-law Hubert Flanery, siblings Christina Dees, Michelle “Shelly” Leece, Wanda Wilson, Rodney Wilson, and Roger Eaton, beloved nieces, nephews, two God children, in-laws, and countless friends.

Chad is preceded in death by his father Nova Wilson, his stepfather Lee Cross, his grandparents Victor and Margaret Guisinger, uncles Paul and Gene Guisinger, his beloved dog Max, nephews James “Bubba” Sisler, Koda Viol, and numerous other extended family and friends.
