It is with overwhelming sorrow and broken hearts that family and friends mourn the tragic passing of Zane Hilton and his beloved wife, Claryke Hilton, following a devastating accident in South Africa. Their sudden loss has left an indescribable void in the lives of all who knew and loved them, and words feel painfully small in the face of such profound grief.
Zane, a resident of Pretoria and proudly from Pretoria, South Africa, was more than a cousin, friend, or family member—he was like a little brother, a constant presence, and a source of countless cherished memories. His life was woven deeply into the lives of those around him, filled with shared experiences, laughter, and plans for the future that now remain heartbreakingly unfinished. The bond he shared with his family was strong and enduring, built on love, loyalty, and years of unforgettable moments.
Claryke Hilton was Zane’s partner in every sense of the word—his wife, his companion, and his greatest support. Together, they shared a love that was evident to all who knew them. Their marriage was one of unity and devotion, and they walked through life side by side, facing its joys and challenges together. Their connection was a beautiful testament to partnership, friendship, and deep affection.
The pain of losing both Zane and Claryke at the same time is immeasurable. They leave behind family and friends who will forever carry their memory, their love, and the dreams that were shared with them. Though the pain will always remain, so too will the gratitude for the time spent together—the conversations, the laughter, and the moments that shaped lasting bonds.
As loved ones grieve, they hold tightly to the hope of reunion and the comfort that Zane and Claryke are together, just as they were in life. Their legacy lives on through the memories they created and the love they gave so freely.
To all who mourn this tragic loss, may you find strength in one another and peace in remembering the lives of Zane and Claryke Hilton. Until we meet again—never forgotten, forever loved.
