James Michael "Mike" "Doc" Millard, 64, of Live Oak, Florida, passed away on October 31, 2025.

Mike-known by many as "Doc"-could never sit still. Always on the move, full of energy, and ready to lend a hand to anyone who needed it, he had a heart for helping others and a high-spirited nature that made him unforgettable. He especially loved spending time working on his mud truck, always tinkering and making it better-a perfect reflection of his hands-on, determined personality.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul M. Millard and Esther Ruth Millard; his brothers Ancil Chandler and Cliff Millard; and Jo-Ann Wallace.

Mike is survived by his daughter Krysten Driver (Chad) and his beloved grandchildren Grady and Hadley; his sisters Cheryl Corbett, Paula Hacker (Tony), and Debbie Purchase; and his brothers Ray Chandler (Evelyn) and Paul "Bubba" Millard (Pat).

A viewing will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Pinegrove Methodist Church, with the funeral service immediately following.

Mike will be remembered for his unstoppable energy, his willingness to help anyone at any time, and the love he carried for his family and friends.

Please sign the online guestbook and keep the family in your prayers.
