Gerald Mills

I don't even know where to begin. I feel as though Gerry has been with me my entire spiritual life. He gave me my first Bible, at age 9, that I still have to this day. He was a pastor, friend, mentor and supporter to me, my entire family, and most of the people I hold dear to me. He married me and my wife over 32 years ago. I always came away from my conversations and interactions with Gerry feeling closer to God, better about myself (and sometimes challenged - he had high standards - God's standards), and more loved. He was the rarest of human beings. I already miss him terribly. But I know that he is always with me, smiling his broad smile, and trying to help me get to where I need to be. I love you Gerry.

Gerry was a dear & beloved friend. Truthfully, he became my friend by default because if his close relationship with my husband. My husband shared a special bond with Gerry from the time he was a teenager. When my husband was in hospice care the only one allowed to visit often was Gerry. The truly loved each other and I was indeed fortunate that Gerry loved me too.
Gerry indeed "caused God joy!"
I will miss him and his support.
His family will find peace knowing he has gone to a better place ❤.

I once told Gerry that I thought I was a Christian until I became one. He opened my eyes to salvation and a study and love of scripture. I feel sad to know he is no longer with us but great happiness to know Gerry and Judy are reunited and with Jesus. So grateful for his life and his influence on me and our family and Providence Presbyterian Church on Hilton Head.
Thoughts and prayers being lifted for Judy and Debbie and family.
Now, let’s all Cause God Joy !

Dr. Mills had quite the influence on me in my youth. As an active member of the New Providence church youth group in the late 60’s he would coach me in writing sermons for youth Sunday. His guidance on how to organize your thoughts into groups of three has stayed with me to this day.

My mentor is gone! So sorry and sad to hear, but glad for Gerry to join Judy. Would have come to memorial service had I known. Blessings in Jesus to Judy and Debbie and family.
