James Harold ‘Jim’ Mills
Jim Mills (James Harold) passed away on July 8, 2026 at the age of ninety. He will be missed as a faithful husband, dad, grandpa, and great grandpa. He lived by the mantra, “Have fun!” and he found a wonderful companion in his wife Barbara, to join him in adventures his whole life long. With his four children in tow, he spent many weekends camping, sailing catamarans, snowmobiling, motorcycling, and traveling in the Mitten and beyond, especially in an old school bus he renovated and refurbished himself.
Naturally athletic and fast as a young man, Jim was also creative and handy, able to produce anything he had a mind to. He found a career as a master plumber. He could play the piano, draw, and sing right along with Johnny Cash. Throughout the years, he became an accomplished wood worker and explored many other artistic pursuits including stained glass, painting, calligraphy, wood carving, and more.
An avid golfer, he and Barb traveled across the country with friends in their motorhome and visited many golf courses in retirement. He was legendary for his sweet tooth, storytelling, and light blue eyes. Jim’s family—his wife and children, Kyle Sober, Jim (Susan) Mills, Steve Mills, Kris (Dave) Pressley, his nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren—can’t wait to see him again in heaven.
