Lawrence (Larry) David

McMillan

Lawrence "Larry" David McMillan, age 60, of Middleville, Michigan, entered into the arms of Jesus on November 10, 2026. Born on October 10, 1966, in Flint, Michigan, he lived a life marked by faith, devotion to family, hard work, and a memorable personality that no one will ever forget.

His Christian faith guided him and gave him strength to help him persevere through life. He was known for being funny, faith-filled, and adventurous. He had a gift for making jokes, and his humor left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Larry grew up in Flint and graduated from Carmen-Ainsworth High School. Shortly after, he moved his family to Grand Rapids where he pursued a career in the trucking industry. Over time, he worked his way into semi truck sales, where his knowledge, experience, and determination served him well.

Larry enjoyed life and embraced it with enthusiasm. He loved boating, snowmobiling, and motorcycling with family and long time friends. For 14 years, he spent his summers at Sandy Pines where he shared many memories with his family. He often drove down the road on his scooter socializing with friends and giving out unsolicited advice. In his recent years, he enjoyed snow birding in a great community in Florida.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 38 years, Cheryl (Fowler) McMillan. Larry was a proud father to Amber (Dustin) Snow and David (Carrie) McMillan. He was the best "Papa Scooter" to his grandchildren, Emersyn, Sydney, Jace, and Everett. He always kept a stash of snacks in the dresser for them. He is survived by his sisters, Mardi Rein and Monica Garrett, and his extended family including his sister-in-law Chrissy (Dave) Lamb and brother-in-law Sonny (Jodi) Fowler. Larry was loved by his nieces and nephews, Marisa (Tommy), Alec (Jelah), Garett (Jordyn), and Lucy, as well as his great nephew Roman. He also leaves behind many other close family members and friends who will forever treasure his memory. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jacqueline Arnold and Larry McMillan.

May he rest in the peace of Christ, and may those who mourn him find comfort in the promise of eternal life and reunion in heaven.

Honoring Larry's wishes, cremation will be taking place. A memorial service will be held at 11a.m. on Saturday, November 21, 2026 at Peace Church in Middleville, MI (6950 Cherry Valley Rd), with Pastor Jon Delger officiating. Visitation will take place prior to the memorial service at 9:30a.m. to 11a.m.
