Rolland McMillian Obituary
Mr. Rolland Marshall McMillian, 89, of Mount Airy, passed away Monday morning, August 11, 2025, at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Mr. McMillian was born July 12, 1936, in Carroll County, VA, the son of the late Wiley and Stella Beulah Tedder McMillian. Rolland discovered early in life a remarkable gift for working with his hands. A talented and meticulous carpenter, he could turn a simple piece of wood into a work of art. His craftsmanship graced countless homes, churches, and community spaces, and many of his creations will continue to tell his story for generations to come. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Shelby Jean Hooper McMillian; a daughter and son-in-law, Tina Marie and Michael Brooks; a son, Edward Michael “Eddie” McMillian; a grandson; three great-granddaughters; two sisters, Jean Glass and Hazel Faw; a brother, Marvin McMillian; and several nieces and nephews. A graveside service will be held Friday, August 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Skyline Memory Gardens, with the Rev. Johnny W. Easter officiating. No formal visitation will be held. Moody Funeral Services in Mount Airy is serving the family.
