Bleach has some characters that are very respectful and dutiful, like Byakuya Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki. But very few of them can emulate the example set by Shuhei Hisagi. His character might not have been the center of attention or significant, but that does not mean he lived an uninspiring life. He was an excellent example for other Soul Reapers to follow. But it seems no one was able to stand up to the standards set by him.
