Obituary
MCMILLAN, David L.
Schoolcraft
Age 75, passed away on Friday, December 2, 2022. David was born in Three Rivers, Michigan on March 12, 1947, the son of the late Charles and Pheobe (Welcher) McMillan. David was a graduate of Schoolcraft High School, clas of 1965. He was a hard worker and instilled that same work ethic in his two sons, who he was extremely proud of. David was a life-long trucker and spent many years on the road as an owner/operator. Although he encouraged his children not to follow in his footsteps, they did just exactly that. Both of his sons become truckers and worked alongside their dad for years. David was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also travelled the United States extensively, visiting 48 of 50 states. David was a member of the Kalamazoo Antique Tractor Club. He loved his family and especially enjoyed spending time with his sons and grandchildren. He is survived by two sons, Stephen (Andrea) McMillan and Douglas (Chantelle) McMillan; grandchildren, Aaron (Moly), Taylor and Emma; brothers, Dale (Bobbie Jo) and Tracy (Schelle); sister in-law, Marsha McMillan; and many nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, David was preceded in death by his brothers, Dennis and Terry McMillan. A memorial gathering to celebrate David’s life will be announced at a later date. Memorial contributions in his memory may be given to Truckers Final Mile or Autism Speaks.
So sorry to hear of David’s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole McMillan family!
I was a friend of David’s since about 1980. Dave always had a smile and a story to share. It was Best Man at my wedding and signed my life away. Lol I married a truck driver and always loved to hear about their adventures on the road. It was because of Dave and others like him I found the job of my dreams. I became an OTR truck driver. Dave taught me a lot about driving just like he did his two sons and others like us. Dave was always there when I needed a friend and I cherish our friendship. You will be missed Dave. Love you Pam
