Robert T. Mylod

The Reverend Robert Thomas Mylod, age 86, of Lewes, Delaware, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on January 22, 1938, in Bernardsville, New Jersey, Reverend Mylod was the son of the late Johnathan Francis Mylod and Mabel (Doody) Mylod. He was predeceased by his first wife, Sandra (Larkin) Mylod, who passed away in 2009; his second wife, Catherine (Betts) Mylod, who passed away in 2020; and his brother, John Mylod.
Reverend Mylod received a Master of Divinity from Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio, and attended the University of Vermont. Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to serving others, first as a pastor and later as a chaplain. He volunteered with numerous organizations in Delaware, including Beebe Healthcare and the Children's Beach House in Lewes, DE. His faith and kindness touched many, and his ministry brought comfort to countless individuals.
A lover of the arts and a lifelong learner, Reverend Mylod enjoyed painting, reading, and spending time with his family and friends. He also found great joy in the serenity of the beach.
He is survived by his three children: Meredith Meindl (Don), Irene Raine (Michael), and Robert T. Mylod; his grandchildren: Cheryl (Fettinger) McMinn and Brittany Mylod; and his great-grandchildren: Carmella McMinn, Robert McMinn, and Azariah Darden. He is also survived by many extended family members and friends who will miss his warmth, wisdom, and loving presence.
His life was a testament to the power of love, service, and dedication to others. He touched many lives with his caring heart and his unwavering commitment to his faith. While we take comfort in knowing that he is at peace, we will forever miss his presence, his wisdom, and the joy he brought into our lives.
