Harold Gene “Stormy” Mills, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully in Paris, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and connection.
Stormy was a devoted father to his three children: Kim, Mark, and Chad. He faced the heartbreaking loss of Kim and Mark before him, yet he carried their memories with him, honoring their lives and ensuring they were never forgotten. Stormy’s love for his family was unwavering, and he poured his heart into caring for his first beloved wife, Mary Mills, who suffered from severe dementia for many years. He sat by her side constantly near the end of her days, always talking to her and singing hymns. His dedication to Mary exemplified his commitment and love.
After Mary’s passing, Stormy found love again with his high school sweetheart, Joyce. Their reunion brought him joy in his later years, and together they built a new chapter in Paris, Texas, where Harold cherished the tranquility and community of his new home.
Stormy is survived by his devoted wife, Joyce Mills, and his son, Chad Mills, who carries forward his father’s spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of love through his grandchildren: Michael Little, Audrey Mills, Sydney Mills, Henry Mills, Alex Mills, and Cecily Mills.
Stormy Mills will be remembered for his ability to light up a room with his presence and for the countless friendships he fostered throughout his life. His talkative nature enriched the lives of many, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A celebration of Stormy’s life will be held at Fry and Gibbs Funeral Home in Paris, Texas on May 10, 2025 at 11:00 am. Visitation will be at 10:30 AM Family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and memories of a man who truly embodied the essence of love and friendship.
He will be dearly missed but forever remembered for the love he shared and the lives he touched.
Rest in peace, dear father.
