McMillen, Matthew W., passed away, Saturday, January 4, 2020.
Beloved son of Michael P. and Julia S. McMillen (nee Baker); loving brother of Zachary H. and Alexander M. McMillen; dearest grandson of Thomas M. and Marilyn L. McMillen (nee Mastin) and Sharon E. (nee Whitehead) and the late William H. Baker; dear nephew of Melissa J. (Gregory J.) Reiter and Jennifer E. (Brian Womack) Baker; our dear cousin and friend of many.
In Matt’s short 15-years he impacted so many lives by making friends wherever he went. He was nicknamed Monkey at a young age because of his constant energy. His sarcastic sense of humor brought laughter and sometimes grimaces to those around him. Music constantly filled his life, whether it was his beloved guitar, his bass, or his bass clarinet. His energy and free spirit will be missed most of all.

Julie, Mike, Zach, and Alex, my heart aches for all of you. No one can imagine what you are going through. I have watched Matt grow up - he was a spark at family get togethers and always had that warm, contagious smile. We all loved him - his memory will forever be in our hearts.
