Hugh W. Gill IV

Hugh W. Gill IV, born September 12th, 1968, Trust and Estate Attorney with Hinkle Law, passed away at 56 on Sunday, May 18, 2025. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 11:00 am, Friday, May 23, at Plymouth Congregational Church, 202 N. Clifton Ave. Hugh was a servant husband and father to his family; wife, Ingrid Gill and daughters Grace Gill and Edith Gill. Hugh is also survived by his parents, Hugh Gill III and Ann Gill; sister, Taylor Gill; and half-brother, Tanner Gill.

Hugh was an avid Jayhawk fan, studying at the University of Kansas from 1987 to 1995. He graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business, Masters in Business Administration and Juris Doctorate. He spent his time cheering at Memorial Stadium and fraternizing with the Delta Chi brothers. It is said his dedication to the KU Jayhawks is what led him to meet Ingrid, who has been his loving wife for 30 years.

Hugh attained high-levels of professional achievement as a partner at Hinkle Law Firm for the past 30 years. He was elected president of the Wichita Bar Association and he acted as state chair for The American College of Trusts and Estate Counsel. The personal relationships he forged with his clients was the foundation of his love for his practice. His lasting legacy of success is a product of his compassion, kindness, and his willingness to uplift those around him before himself.

As a life-long Wichita native, Hugh dedicated his time and talent to the community in which he was raised. Hugh served as a trustee for Plymouth Congregational Church, The Independent School, The American Heart Association and the KU Alumni Association. He was a member of the Albert Pike Blue Lodge and the Scottish Rite Consistory at the highest degree.

Hugh enjoyed any and all college sports, closely following the powerlifting career of his daughter, Grace, and recently sharpened his archery skills alongside his daughter, Edie. After being diagnosed with P.O.E.Ms Syndrome, a rare blood disease, he battled everyday for another chance to be with his family. He approached this life-altering challenge with the same grit and determination he carried throughout his life.
