William Harrison Mills

July 29, 1943 - April 16, 2024

William Harrison Mills, 80, passed away Tuesday, April 16, 2024, in Gray, Kentucky.  Born July 29, 1943, in Knox County, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Bert and Amanda Mills.

In addition to his father and mother, William was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 45 years, Patricia Mills, and 14 siblings.

He leaves behind his son, Clarence “Chuck” Mills (Michelle); daughter, Brenda Hughes; grandchildren: Amanda Mills (Isaiah), Brandie Mills (Jay Smith), Brad Mills (Amanda), Cody Hughes (Stephanie), and Josh Hughes; nine great-grandchildren; and three siblings: Irene, Lorene, and Audrey.

William was a life-long farmer who raised/tended cattle, tobacco, hay, corn, and a garden.  His tractors were prized possessions.  Recently, he had an interest in riding a Side by Side with his son Chuck.  He also enjoyed deer hunting, especially with his grandson Josh.   However, nothing was more important to him than spending time with his family.

A beloved, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, William will be deeply missed.

    I Ican’t quite accept the fact that my last brother “Will” has went on to meet the Lord.. We were in a church service at Keck Baptist Church in Gray, Ky. On a Sunday night.
    During invitation iI asked Will if he was saved and ready to go. He looked down at me and said “I took care of that years age. Praise the Lord.
