Ricky McMillan Obituary
Ricky D. McMillan, age 62, of Galax, VA went home to be with Jesus on May 30, 2020 after a short battle with cancer. Ricky was a long-time employee of Mt. Rogers IDC, in fact he was one of the original employees. He loved bowling and Redskins football. Most of all he loved people – all people! He is survived by his parents, Larry and Fern McMillan, a brother Jamie McMillian, sister and brother-in-law Brian and Vanessa Edwards, and his beloved niece Yasenia Edwards. He was cared for by the most amazing caregivers at Avila Residence (Nick, Jamie, Dave, Paul, Tony) as well as Sheri Porterfield with Medi-Hospice. Due to Covid-19 only a graveside service will be held at Blue Ridge Chapel Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers the family ask that memorial contributions be made to Avila Residences for a fund to assist residents with financial needs and wants. Checks may be made out to Avila Residences and mailed to 372 Live Oak Lane Galax, VA 24333.

We know Ricky is in a happy place. Over all the years Ricky always stopped to talk with us wherever we saw him. Just remembering when he went with us to the circus in Greensboro. Such a good trip. May God give you his strength and comfort.

I have many great memories of Ricky. He and I started at the IDC the same date and we often talked about how long we had worked together. He always had a smile and loved to tell visitors to the IDC about his work and how long he had been there. Thoughts and prayers to Larry, Fern, Vanessa and Jamie. Hold on to the memories you have and may God give you His peace and comfort at this time.

Ricky always had smile and a "good morning" for his friends. And he had lots of friends. Ricky was one of those I often thought about after I retired from Mount Rogers. Ricky will be missed by many people, myself included. Fern and Larry may the many memories of Ricky give you comfort during this difficult time. Ricky always wanted to please you in all his daily activities.
