Tom is survived by his dear and loving wife Peggy Mills of Irondale, Missouri; one daughter, Alisha Stephanie DeClue and husband Login of Park Hills, Missouri; one son, Ryan Thomas Mills and wife Cassandra of Irondale, Missouri; father, Kenneth Mills and friend Myrtle Duncan of Potosi, Missouri; two sisters, Mary Ann Horton of Belgrade, Missouri, Debra Portell and husband Gary of Tipton, Indiana; one brother, Robert “Bob” Mills and wife Judy of Saint Louis, Missouri; one very special granddaughter, Rachel Barton; mother-in-law, Stella Turney of Irondale, Missouri and by many other relatives and dear and special friends. Tom was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Mills; brother, Ronald “Ronnie” Mills; brother-in-law, Jesse Horton and father-in-law, Charles Turney.
Tom had a great love for his family and each of them held a very dear and special place in his heart. His eyes would sparkle when his granddaughter would walk into the room. He always had time to visit with each of them. Tom admired his cars and took great pride in all his restoration projects, you would never know what he might come driving or riding by on. He loved to spend many hours in the garage re-doing, tinkering or mastering some project for his self or someone else. Tom always enjoyed taking trips on his motorcycle and traveling through the back roads admiring the scenery or waving to a stranger as he passed. Tom enjoyed his time at the house tinkering and fixing up things and working in the yard. He most enjoyed walking around the yard or being by the pond with his two ducks. It was not unusual for the ducks to go looking for him or “quacking” on the porch for him to come out.
