Doc was born in Wabash, Indiana on October 19, 1956 to Barbara J. (Rogers) and Jan C. Hiatt Sr. He graduated from Warsaw High School and went on to attend Lincoln Tech in Indianapolis and get a mechanical degree.

He worked for Danco Medical for over 15 years, retiring as a maintenance supervisor. Doc owned We Be Fix It, specializing in engine repairs of any kind. He loved anything automotive, which lead him to racing sprint cars and go-karts. He enjoyed camping with family and friends and attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Warsaw.

He is dearly missed by his loving wife, Jean; his son Denny (Tonya) Hiatt of Mississippi and their 2 daughters; step-children: Brandon Ault, Whitney Hobbs, Jennifer Roder, James Roder, Aaron Gans and Ashley Gans; many step-grandchildren including his grandson Rylan whom he helped raise; his sisters Debbie (Robert) Petrone and Tammy (Ken Steele) Rogers as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
