Thomas Joseph Millirons

Thomas Joseph Millirons, age 70, of Milo, Missouri, peacefully left this world on January 19, 2025, at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

Born on June 24, 1954, in Strong City, Kansas, Thomas was born to Joseph William Millirons and Thelma Mae (Watches) Wright. 

Thomas worked in maintenance at Murphy Farms for over 18 years, where his dedication and work ethic were evident in everything he did. Outside of work, his true passion was playing the drums and spending time outdoors. He was a proud member of the Blue Rock Band, where his rhythmic talent and love for music shone brightly. His music brought smiles, lifted spirits, and created memories that will forever resonate with those who heard him play. Thomas found peace in nature, fishing by the water's edge or hunting in the woods.

Thomas’s greatest joy came from his family. He is survived by his loving children: Tommy Millirons, Michael Millirons, and Jill Millirons; his devoted mother, Thelma Wright; his treasured grandchildren, Meranda Benton, Lake McPherson, and Avery Millirons; and his beloved great-grandchildren, Tucker Benton, Noah Benton, and Grady Benton. He is also survived by his stepbrothers, Darryl Wright and Gregg Wright, and his stepsister, Gail Juane.

Thomas is now reunited with his father, Joseph William Millirons; his stepfather, Ottis Wright; his brother, John Millirons; his niece, Kim King; and his great-nephew, Gavin King, in eternal peace.

A graveside service will be held at 2:00p.m., Saturday, April 26, 2025 at Olive Branch Cemetery in Milo, Missouri.
