Joe Marlin Hilliard Dies At 78
Joe Marlin Hilliard
January 18, 1943 – August 26, 2022
Pioneer rancher, businessman, and South Florida agricultural icon Joe Marlin Hilliard, 79, passed away surrounded by family and friends on August 26, 2022 in Naples, Florida. He was born in Ft Myers, Florida at Lee Memorial Hospital on January 18, 1943 to Joe Alexander Hilliard and Wilmuth Gabriele "Tippy" Yarbrough.
Born into a distinguished ranching family, Joe Marlin grew up on the famed Hilliard Ranch in Hendry County. Following graduation from Clewiston High School in 1961, he began his career working on Hilliard Brothers Cattle Ranch, which was founded by his grandfather in 1906 and later owned by his father and uncle in the 1920s. As he took over management, Joe Marlin would greatly expand upon the family business, enhancing the cattle operation with large investments in sugarcane, citrus, and vegetable production.
Joe Marlin Hilliard’s leadership skills over the years provided major advances for South Florida’s cattle, citrus and sugarcane industries. In 2017, Joe Marlin Hilliard was inducted into the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame—recognizing his life-long achievements and enduring efforts to secure the success of the farming and ranching industries that he loved.
His successful farming legacy will continue to build on its great heritage as Hilliard Brothers of Florida remains a family operation with Joe Marlin Hilliard's two sons' Joe Marlin II, Bryan, and his daughter Mary Elizabeth; all directly involved in different aspects of the business.
Along with his loving wife Barbara Jean, whom he married in 1985, Joe Marlin Hilliard was also an active member of the local community and his generous philanthropic efforts provided funding to numerous local and state organizations. A strong believer in education, he has funded the Joe Marlin Hilliard Endowed Scholarship at the King Ranch Institute of Ranch Management at Texas A&M, Kingsville and the Joe Marlin and Barbara Hilliard Scholarship at Florida Gulf Coast University and many others.
More importantly, he was a devoted Christian and family man who greatly valued family and friends. An avid outdoorsman throughout his life, Joe Marlin Hilliard graciously shared his love of hunting and fishing with friends and colleagues, extending invitations to join him on these adventures.
Joe Marlin lived on the Hilliard Ranch outside Clewiston for most of his life and raised his family there. He also had a retirement home in Naples, Florida.
He was predeceased by parents Joe A. and “Tippy” Hilliard.
Joe Marlin Hilliard is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years, Barbara, his children, Joe Marlin Hilliard, II (Chelsa), Mary E Hilliard Carroll, and Bryan Reed Hilliard, stepson Richard Parker and stepdaughter Alicia Snyder, and grandchildren Rana Hilliard, Joe A. “Jack” Hilliard, II, Madeline Carroll, Lily Carroll, Isabelle Hilliard, Bryan Reed Hilliard II, Isla Hilliard and Jessica Snyder.
Visitation will be held at Hodges Funeral Home in Naples on Friday, September 2, from 1 - 2 pm. Services will directly follow. Internment will take place after the service at Hodges Funeral Home at Naples Memorial Gardens.

Healthcare Rating System Affecting Hendry's Hospital
Clewiston, FL – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the nation’s hospitals work collaboratively to publicly report hospital quality performance information on the CMS Care Compare website. Changes made by CMS are affecting small healthcare systems’ star ratings like Hendry Regional Medical Center (HRMC).
“We place a strong emphasis on quality data measurements and reporting. It is how we hold ourselves accountable to the community and public in providing not just quality healthcare but excellent healthcare,” stated Dakota Redd, Chief Nursing Officer, HRM
While Hendry Regional does participate in outpatient and inpatient quality data reporting with CMS, with the new changes there are now too few measures/measure groups reported or cases/patients are too few to calculate a star rating.
What does this mean? HRMC previously held a 3-star rating, higher than many other local hospitals, however a star rating is no longer available (N/A) on the CMS Care Compare website.
“It is important to note that while CMS no longer recognizes HRMC with a star rating, we would have maintained a 3-star rating if those changes had not gone into effect based on the data we continue to submit,” stated Redd. “We are proud of the excellent healthcare we provide and that is witnessed by all our patients who receive care at HRMC regardless of a star rating.”
In reviewing HRMC’s quality data, they score well above the national and state average in most areas. Striving to ensure that the care provide is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. In a continued effort of transparency HRMC will be making even more data available in the coming months. To view HRMC quality data or to learn more visit www.hrmc.us.

Big Cypress Former Museum Director Dies
Former Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Director David Blackard Passes Away
BIG CYPRESS RESERVATION, Fl – As the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum approaches its 25th Anniversary, the Seminole Tribe of Florida is saddened to announce the recent passing of former museum director David Blackard.
Blackard was instrumental in planning and designing the museum’s exhibits in pre-construction as early as 1993 when he started working for the Seminole Tribe of Florida and served as the first Curator under Executive Director Billy L. Cypress (Scott, 2019).
Through Blackard’s passion for Seminole History and Culture, he traveled the United States to curate pieces for the museum as far away as San Francisco. Blackard brought Billy L. Cypress’s vision to life with various tribal exhibits from the 1880-90’s, including 50 mannequins dressed portraying Seminole life (Dudley, 1997).
In a published article by Blackard, he stated “Having lived in South Florida since 1953, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t interested in the history and culture of the Florida Seminole. Thus, it was an honor to earlier serve the Seminole Tribe of Florida on the Tribe’s museum project working for the late Billy L. Cypress.”
These first class exhibits as well as other interpretative exhibits can still be seen today inside the galleries at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. Blackard developed relationships with many of his colleagues in unforgettable ways, including Tina Marie Osceola, the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Director of Tribal Preservation Office.
“I have known David for most of my life and not once did I ever hear David call himself an expert in my people’s history or culture,” said Osceola. “He loved the Seminole and he deeply cared for the indigenous way of life in the United States. He always saw himself as a public servant to Tribes. I don’t know anyone else like him.”
Blackard’s other accolades include being the author of Patchwork and Palmettos: Seminole Miccosukee Folk Art Since 1820, published on June 1, 1990, and serving as the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Library Program Supervisor since 2007.
