Brandon Todd Mills Obituary (1984 - 2015)

Brandon Todd Mills, born July 28th 1984 passed away on February 24th 2015 from complications with diabetes. A loving father, son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend will be dearly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. He could make you crazy, he could make you laugh so hard your sides would hurt, but most of all, he could always make you smile. He enjoyed the outdoors and did everything he could to be out with nature. He loved fishing, (even though his trophy fish was a minnow), camping, hiking and exploring new places. He was always up for an adventure. He was a family man, and was never more happy than when he was spending time with his families. He especially enjoyed spending time with his beautiful daughter and his many nieces, nephews and cousins. He loved torturing his sisters and hanging out playing video games with his brothers. His friends were like his family and he could regularly be found playing as hard as he worked. He was always there when you needed him and never hesitated to lend a helping hand no matter the task. He was the first one to volunteer if you (in particularly Tonya) needed help moving or doing yard work, or just about any other chore you could think of. He was an amazing auto mechanic. He could keep any vehicle running long beyond it's normal anticipated life. Many of his auto repairs involved lengthy phone calls with his dad. He was always picking everyone's brain to learn how to do his repairs better or faster. Where ever he was living would have a driveway covered in auto parts while he worked on whichever beater he owned at the time. While it was not his favorite pastime, he spent so much time doing it, he was on a first name basis with the Pick 'N Pull and should have inquired if they offered a bulk discount. Brandon appreciated the small things in life. It didn't take much to make him happy. He lived life for the moment and he lived it to the fullest. He was a ray of sunshine and touched the lives of everyone he met. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. He is survived by his daughter Riann Johanna Craig, his mother Teri Gaus (Mark), his father Barry Mills (Karon), his sisters Tonya Coates, Alecia Gaus, and Kourtney Herrera (J.R.), his brothers Josh Mills and Eric Gaus, his grandfathers Dean Holdaway and Val Dean Larsen, his great grandmother Faye Johansen, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends that he cherished. He was an amazing man who was taken from us much too soon and his loss will be felt by us all.
