Mr. Jerry L. Mills Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

ELMODEL, GA/UTICA - Jerry was born on August 3, 1962 in Georgia to the late James L. and Mildred L. (Bouie) Mills. On Tuesday morning, February 11th around 1:00 am, God allowed Gabriel to blow his horn and Jerry answered the call. During his stay in Utica, Jerry attended Miller Elementary School and shortly thereafter, the family moved to Waterbury, Connecticut. This is where Jerry developed a love for basketball at Wallace Middle School and Summer Basketball League. Jerry attended Crosby High School where he had an outstanding basketball and wrestling career. After graduation he attended the University of Rhode Island. Jerry returned to Utica, where he attended Mohawk Valley Community College and obtained a degree in Chemical Dependency. His employment included Pathmark Supermarket in Connecticut and ACC Rescue Mission of Utica. He was a member of House of God Church. Jerry loved his children, took pride in wearing a suit, and enjoyed hamburgers, his favorite food. He was preceded in death by his father and mother; his brother, James Mills Jr.; and his sister, Margaret Evans. He leaves to cherish his memory his two children, Ashayael Mills (daughter), Obadiah Mills (son); and his wife, Yvette Mills. In addition, he leaves his sisters and brothers-in-law, Myrtis and Fred Winston, Lillie and Frank Shackleford, Vera Mills, Myrtle Shorter, Peggy Reynolds, and Lisa Mills; brothers and sisters-in-law, Robert Mills, Michael Mills, John and Katrina Mills, Joseph and Tatecha Mills, Willie and Sonya Mills; and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and loved ones. The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support during our time of bereavement. We would like to extend a very special thanks to the Oneida County Emergency Service, and St. Luke’s Medical Center. Visitation will be held Saturday from 10:00-12:00 at the House of God Church. Jerry’s Home Going Service and Celebration of Life will commence on Saturday at 12:00 noon at the Church. Interment will take place in Forest Hill Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
