Jerry Alanson Millard, 76, of Clifton, Colorado, gracefully succumbed to ALS at Hope West on November 8, 2015. Jerry was surrounded by 22 of his family members and a tremendous amount of love. Originally from Picher, Oklahoma and previously resided in New Mexico, Louisiana and Nevada.

Jerry is survived by his wife and best friend Aggie of 53 years, daughters Cindy Millard, Maria Petrone (Mark), son Ed Millard (Kelly), daughters Lana Scolari (Mike) and Jerri Ann Bibbey (Ryan). Brother Larry Millard and sisters Lana Bruno and Karen Law, 15 children, and 6 great grandchildren. As well as many loving nieces, nephews and extended family. Jerry was a loving father, husband, grandfather and friend to all.

Through the years Jerry enjoyed working on and cruising in classic cars. He attended his favorite car show, Hot August Nights, faithfully for 25 years. He loved being in his garage and working on his cars until he was forced to give up the hobby he loved most due to his illness. He enjoyed watching his grandkids play and raise heck, holding hands with his sweet and ever caring wife and cruising through town visiting his favorite spots.

A special thank you to Hope West Hospice in Grand Junction for their loving care and support. Also thank you to Callahan Edfast Funeral Home for all of the arrangements.

Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Callahan Edfast Funeral Home on Thursday, November 12. Funeral services for Dad will also be at Callahan Edfast at 2pm on Friday, November 13th.
