Shawn Mills Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Shawn was born on November 12th to Jeff Mills and Linda Hall in Pocatello, Idaho, alongside his lifelong best friend, his twin brother, John Mills.
Wearing many hats, both physically and figuratively, Shawn served proudly in the United States Air Force from 1995 – 1999. He then quickly excelled and made his way from an associate at ABC Supply to Branch Manager and Managing Partner. The most important hat he wore was that of a son, brother, husband, dad, uncle, and grandfather.
He could fix just about everything. He may or may not have been telepathic with his twin brother. They could video call each other for hours without saying anything.
Shawn enjoyed being in the great outdoors. Whether it be fishing, camping, or hiking, Shawn is and will be greatly missed by all of those who were blessed enough to even just have a moment with this Lion-Hearted angel.
Shawn is survived by his parents, stepmother, wife, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters.
His memory will always be a light within us, guiding our paths.

I never met Shawn, but I can see Jeff and Linda in him. He was born from strong stock with the love of the land in him. I bet he is looking at a mountain in the distance with a big smile on his face.

We have wonderful memories of ABC vacations together with Shawn and Rhonda. Deep sea fishing to playing in the ocean. Shawn was always kind and a smile on his face. Prayers to all his family! Steve and Karen Seder

Shawn was a wonderful brother-in-law and we made many memories together. Some were awesome and some not so much, but we never let it come between us. You will be greatly missed my friend!

Uncle shawn was an amazing uncle and will be miss, one of my favorite memories of him was when I was in high school and it was summer time my sisters and I went to Colorado springs to stay for part of the summer. It was amazing I had so much fun. We spent one day outside all day planting, setting up a badminton net so we could play and when we started playing, then one at point he was walking backwards to catch the birdie and fell on to the fire-pit and we all started to laugh including his and we helped him up. I am going to miss that amazing laugh he had, because it could get everyone else laughing.

Shawn was so much more then a brother n law. He was my brother for 33 years, in that time we laughed and had many fights. He is the one who named me Aunt B He loved my children as if they were his own, so much so that he gave my son his prized copper dodge lol. I love you and miss so much.

Shawn was my brother for 33 years we have laughed together and had many fights. He named me Aunt B I love him and miss hi. Dearly. He loved my children as he loved his own and that alone would be enough for me to love him as much as I do. However there was so much more.
