Robert Story Millikan

Robert Story Millikan passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025 at Pine Ridge Health and Rehabilitation.

Robert never met a stranger. His friends knew him as The Dew, and he was kind and genuinely funny person. Whether he was doing stand-up comedy in Nashville, or making the nursing home staff burst out laughing he was always looking for a laugh. Motorcycles and trucking were his favorite topics of conversation, and he even ran his own trucking business for a time. Robert was an old soul, and had an affinity for the community of older folks.

Robert is preceded in death by his father James R. Millikan. He is survived by his mother Lurlene S. Millikan, his brothers Michael Millikan and Edward Millikan, his sisters Laraine M. Cook (Terry), Susan M. Delk, Jamie M. Albright (Stuart), and nieces and nephews Amber (Nolan), Dakota (Rachel), Nevada (Holli), Madison, Nathan, and Jackson.

There will be a visitation at Pugh Funeral Home on November 4th at 1PM, and a graveside funeral service at 2PM in Oaklawn Cemetery.

The family would like to give special thanks to the staff at Pine Ridge Health and Rehabilitation for the special attention and care given to Robert during his time there.
