Dennis N. Millard
August 27, 1944 - May 17, 2021
It is with heavy heart that I, Mary Lee Millard the surviving wife of Dennis Millard, share my sad news that my husband Dennis transcended to the heavens as I held his hand on Monday, May 17. In the end, three major cancers were simply too much for Dennis. Dennis passed away at home with family members at his side in Alameda, CA.
Dennis was born on a ranch in Poway, California to his parents Don and Norma Millard. He graduated from Poway High School and San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance.
I was blessed to have had my love in my life for 37 married years and that we always threw the dock lines when we could. Dennis' zest for life was infectious and mind boggling and I got to be with Dennis on an incredible journey.
But best of all, was sharing your two wonderful sons Denny and Danny (wife Jane) and five awesome grandchildren Brenton, Alex, Maddie, Josh and Chloe. Dennis is survived by his siblings Jerry, Dave, Susie, Lydia and their lovely families; and is predeceased by his brother Mike. He is also survived by my family Cathy and Jim and their beautiful families. Dennis loved and cherished each family member.
A special thanks to all of our family and friends who provided love and support during Dennis long fight with cancer as well as to the staff at UCSF for their excellent care.
Donations in Dennis' honor can be made to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society who were a great resource during Dennis illness.
Sail on my love, sail on, for I shall meet you in the next horizon.
