Tommy McMillion

Tommy McMillion, born August 1, 1952, in Malden, Missouri, was a captivating combination of ambition, charisma, love, and thoughtfulness. Tommy spent 53 remarkable years at Williams International, a testament to his unwavering commitment and loving passion for his craft. As his daughter, Heather, I have always admired Tommy's dedication, his infectious enthusiasm, and his larger-than-life personality. As Albert Einstein once said, "The only source of knowledge is experience," and Tommy indeed was a man rich in experiences and wisdom.

Tommy, a resident of Ogden, Utah, for 55 years, was a true lover of life and the great outdoors. He passionately watched sports, collected model cars, and never missed a chance to enjoy a NASCAR race. His love for driving was evident in the joy he found behind the wheel of his red Miata RF, fondly named Bridget. However, his most cherished moments were those spent camping with family and friends, going on long rides in the canyon, and spending time with his beloved dog, Stafford. He was a man who loved deeply and was deeply loved in return. His charisma was such that he could walk into a room and instantly become the center of attention. He had a witty sense of humor that always left us wondering what he would say next.

Tommy was a man of many accomplishments, but what mattered most to him were his family, friends, and pets. He was a loving, thoughtful, and charismatic father, friend, and companion. Tommy is survived by his daughter, Heather Woodruff, his son-in-law, Larry Woodruff and his sister Ruth-Ann Reid. He is preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Helen McMillion.

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, "It is not length of life, but depth of life." Tommy's life was a testament to this. He was a man who lived deeply, loved profoundly, and will be forever missed. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

A visitation will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2025 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Boulevard, Ogden, Utah.
