Hill was the Secret Service agent who leaped onto the trunk of a limousine after JFK was shot.

He was forced to retire early because he remained haunted by memories of the assassination.

The 1993 Clint Eastwood thriller " In the Line of Fire " was inspired in part by Hill .

"I only kept one of the president and Mrs. Kennedy alive on my watch," Hill said.

"We had that once-in-a-lifetime love that everyone hopes for," McCubbin Hill said in a statement. "We were soulmates." Clint Hill also became a speaker and gave interviews about his experience in Dallas . In 2018 , he was given the state of North Dakota's highest civilian honor, the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award. A portrait of Hill adorns a Capitol gallery of fellow honorees. A private funeral service will be held in Washington , D.C. , on a future date..
