Dell Millward Obituary
Joseph Dell Millward, age 56, died Saturday, November 29, 2025, at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was born August 14, 1969, in Moses Lake, Washington to Joseph DeMott and Lanae Hill Millward. Tilly Jenski was a long-time partner with whom he had a daughter, Madelyn. He later married Elli Karlsson in the Salt Lake Temple. They had one daughter, Clara, and were later divorced.
Dell grew up in Kingman, Arizona and graduated from Kingman High School in 1987. From an early age he enjoyed riding and working with horses. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Belo Horizonte Brazil Mission. After his mission, he attended college in Portland, Oregon to become a Farrier. He lived in Pocatello, Idaho and Logandale, Nevada for a short time before settling in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1998. He was respected in the Equine community for his horse shoeing abilities, team roping and work with horses. He was fiercely loyal, genuinely concerned and uncommonly thoughtful to his many friends. He was respectful and congenial to all who knew him in business or as an acquaintance. His greatest joy and focus in life were his two beautiful daughters.
