Michael E. McMillin

Michael E. McMillin, affectionately known as "Mike," passed away on April 9, 2026, at Doctor's West Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Born on November 22, 1948, in Columbus, Ohio, Mike lived a life marked by dedication to his family, community, and country.

Mike's journey saw him serve honorably in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, where he contributed as a cook, supporting his fellow soldiers with unwavering commitment. After his military service, he dedicated his professional life to the City of Columbus, working as a cableman and electrician until his retirement. His hard work and expertise were a testament to his steadfastness and integrity.

A kind and loving husband and father, Mike cherished the time spent with his family and friends. His passions extended beyond work into the great outdoors, where he found joy in fishing, hunting, and trapping—activities that brought him closer to nature and provided cherished moments of tranquility and connection.

Mike is survived by his devoted wife, Mary (Thompson) McMillin; brothers Randy McMillin and Kelvin McMillin; sons Scott McMillin and David Morrow; and numerous nieces and nephews who will carry forward his memory with love and respect. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward B. and Marion P. McMillin; brother Dale McMillin; son Michael E. McMillin II; and daughter Christine Christian.
