Tony Mills

Tony Mills, age 65, was taken way too soon in a tragic boating accident on July 9th at John Martin Reservoir.

Tony was quite the guy, he said what he thought and didn't back down from his beliefs. Tony loved German Wirehair Pointers, who were his best pheasant hunting buddies. Tony had a heart of gold and he was the type of guy that would give the shirt off of his back if he could help someone. He liked to go on spur of the moment trips and one of his favorite places to go was Deadwood, SD. He liked to drive and drove fast so the trips were usually shorter than most peoples. Tony always had a joke to crack just to make people laugh.

Tony was born Sept 13th in Murray, UT to Dell Mills and Barbara Timothy. He had 3 siblings, older brother, Randy, older sister, Denise, and younger brother, Kevin. Tony spent his teenage years in Fairview, UT where his grandparents lived. He got into his fair share of mischief growing up, making him a local legend in Fairview.

In 1979, Tony married Pam Kramer in Cody, WY. They were blessed to have just celebrated 45 years of marriage. They had just gotten back from an Alaskan cruise to celebrate the anniversary.

Tony was blessed with two boys, Cody & Kelby & six grandchildren His grandchildren were the light of his life. Kandess (20), Brock (18), Haxden (16), Ace (13), Khalie (10), and General (7).

He was proceeded in death by his father, Dell Mills, his in-laws Norman & Betty Kramer, his grandparents Frank & Ora Mills, Roe & Josephine Olson, and two of his best friends Red Rowe & Dave Boylan.

Tony died doing what he loved but his family and friends in the Colorado and Utah communities are left to grieve his loss but will keep his memory alive with their own fishing, hunting & ornery activities.
