John L. Ziegenhein & Sons Funeral Home - South City ChapelBefore the internet, Wikipedia, or IMBd, there was Jefferson Dean Mills. All who knew him could rely on him to be their answer man on any topic from classic literature and comic books to old movies or fine art. He never forgot anything. What are we supposed to do now?
Those he leaves to now fend for themselves are his parents Charlie Mills & Brenda Bisso (Robert Bisso) and his siblings Guy and Andrea Mills. He will also leave countless friends to now find their own way through the mires of Trivia Land. Obviously, he was very smart (top 1% IQ). He was also adventurous traveling Europe solo, to see the many cool places he'd read about. But most importantly, Jefferson was kind. He was a vegetarian, because he didn't want to cause anyone any pain on his behalf. He didn't even like eating animal crackers because he thought eating things in the shapes of living beings was a violent idea. He had a big brain, but his heart was even bigger. We will be lost without him.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to American Cancer Society in Jefferson's honor.
A memorial visitation for Jefferson's family and friends to gather and share memories will be held on Saturday November 22, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at John L. Ziegenhein & Sons South County Parlors, 7027 Gravois Ave. St. Louis, MO 63116. May Jefferson rest in peace.
