The Secret Service agent who heroically jumped into action to try to shield President John F. Kennedy during his assassination in 1963, Clint Hill, has died at the age of 93.
“It is with a broken heart that I must announce the passing of my remarkable husband, Clint Hill,” Hill’s wife, Lisa McCubbin Hill, posted to Instagram, confirming his death. “He died peacefully at home, in my arms, on February 21, 2025.”
Hill died Friday at his home in California, the Associated Press reported.
Hill was a 31-year-old Secret Service agent assigned to first lady Jackie Kennedy’s security detail when he traveled with the first couple to Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

“From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark between us,” his wife added on Instagram Monday afternoon. “We had that once-in-a-lifetime love that everyone hopes for—a relationship filled with passion, respect, admiration, and the pure joy of being together.”
“I am eternally grateful for every day and every moment of the past 15 years we shared,” she wrote. “To us, forever. Rest in Peace my Sweet Prince.”
