Dale Glenn Millard was born on April 17, 1979 in Chico, California to Ronald Dale and Linda Mae (Astle) Millard. He was the happiest baby, full of life and joy. He especially loved to follow his daddy around, learning the names of tools and how they worked as he and his dad “fixed the truck.” His father Ronald Dale Millard passed away in 1982. Dale and his family moved to Victorville and then to Lone Pine where he enjoyed climbing rocks and mountains. He spent countless hours in the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt. Whitney scaling the rocks and hills, admiring God's creations, and just having fun. He loved to camp and play on the sand dunes, pretending he was flying in the air in a dive, landing on the sand as if it were the ocean, and getting back up to do it again. Dale loved Legos. He loved being with people yet loved being alone to meditate and think about the future. He was a magnet for children. Everyone loved to be around him. He had an astounding knowledge of the scriptures, a deep love for the Savior, and an incredible love for his family. 

Dale attended Lone Pine High School. There he found a great interest in claymation and working with computers and video equipment. He graduated from Lone Pine High School in 1997 and moved with his family to Olympia, WA. In 1998 Dale went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Raleigh, North Carolina. He loved serving his mission and the people he met and taught there. 

After returning, he made a trip back to Lone Pine with his sisters, Kelly and Elizabeth, and stepfather, Ralph Whitney. He and Kelly climbed Mt Whitney in one day. They always had fun kidding each other about who did the best job of climbing and who was the toughest but Dale always admired Kelly for making it to the top because she was his sister. 

Dale attended Business Computer Training Institute and graduated in 2002. Dale kept close ties with his family. He loved to do anything with his brother Robert, no matter how sneaky, how dirty, or how hard it was. They truly were the best of friends. Every one looked up to him, literally and figuratively. He was the best brother to have. 

Dale worked in construction and lived in Tacoma were he met his soul mate and the love of his life, Lisa Hylen. Dale and Lisa were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple for time and eternity September 6, 2003. His love for his sweetheart cannot be compared. He was born to love her. He brought her flowers, called constantly, always opened the door for her, and never missed a chance to sweep Lisa off her feet again. They danced in the kitchen, snuggled all the time and their love grew more every day. He never wanted to leave her and couldn’t wait to get back to her. They completed each other. They recently moved to Draper, Utah to prepare to enter the University and to be close to Lisa’s family. He was so blessed to have so many people that loved him. Dale was called home for his next mission on Christmas Eve. He literally had his life taken while trying to help his brother. 

Dale served eagerly in every church responsibility he had. He loved to teach whatever he knew and would always be willing to help anyone who had a need. He lived and breathed unselfishly. He did everything he could to make others comfortable and happy, especially those that he loved. He would do anything for anyone. All you needed to do was ask. He was always gentle and kind, a living example of the phrase “There is nothing so gentle as true strength”.

Dale had an amazing sense of direction. He could find anything and go anywhere. Dale could and would climb anything, anywhere. While he was the butt of many family jokes, he took each one as the token of love it was meant to be and laughed as hard as anyone else. He collected G.I. Joe’s and was the favorite uncle to play with. He was both a child at heart and a true man all in the same package. He cannot be replaced.

He is loved by his wife Lisa Hylen Millard, his mother Linda (and Ivan) Phillips, brother Robert (and Regina) Millard, sisters Diana (and Edgar) Lovendino, Debi (and Oliver) Chadwick, Kelly (and Adam) Cornwall, Elizabeth (and Robert) West, and Katrina Phillips, Lisa’s parents John and Barbara Hylen, Lisa’s brother Rick Luke, Lisa’s sisters Maria (and Sal) Simili, Susan Hylen and Ted Smith, Jen (and Rex) Gooch, nieces Kendrah, Meikah, and Aleynah Lovendino, Katie Gooch, Sarah Simili, nephews Dallin and Mason Millard, Jared and Jordan Gooch, David Simili, grandparents James and Beulah Astle, grandfather Boyd (and Octavia) Millard, grandmother Shirley (and Dick) Albers and Lisa’s grandmother Virginia Hansen. He was also loved by uncles, aunts, cousins, and many, many others. 

Memorial services will be held on Thursday, December 30, 2004, at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Olympia Stake Center 600 Overhulse Road, Olympia, Washington. There will also be a service held Saturday, January 1, 2005, at 12:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Draper First Ward Chapel 12300 S 600 E, Draper, Utah. Interment will be on January 3, 2005 at Mountain View Memorial Cemetery 3115 E 7800 S Cotton Wood Heights, Utah 84121.

My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars, reflecting in the snow,
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description to hear the Angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not that far away, we really aren’t apart,
So be happy for me my dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my Heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all “LOVE” is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings or the love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember that I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
