W. David "Big Dave" Mills

We went to grade school with Dave and his brother Larry (who passed away several years ago), then at SHS of course. I don't remember ever having missed one of his games. One day at school I told him how much I enjoyed watching him play. He looked down at me, smiled and said I was his favorite football player. I was humbled. The whole family were wonderful people. God bless you all.

Condolences to the Mills family from the Salpointe Coonce family whose four oldest boys remember "big Dave" and what an awesome presence he was on the Salpointe basketball court. May he rest in peace.

My name is Jay Mahoney. I was in the class of 1963 at Salpointe. I was an athletic trainer and taped his ankles many times. Every one like Dave. He was so personable to all. He was as genuine as the sunrise ! He will be missed by all who knew him ! His battles with Ray Kosanke at Tucson High are legendary in high school basketball !

May he RIP !!!!

Our condolences to the Mills family. Dave will be greatly missed. From the Greshams on Clinton Place.

The Salpointe Catholic High School community extends deepest sympathy to the Mills family. You are in our prayers at this difficult time.
