Millard “Rusty” Wilson Reynolds Jr., of Hixson, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at his home on October 22, 2025. Born on March 17, 1950, Rusty was the son of Millard and Dorthy Brandon Reynolds. He was a proud graduate of Baylor High School and attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
A man of great talent and creativity, Rusty was known for his exceptional skill as a painter of cars and bicycles. His artistry and attention to detail made his work truly one of a kind. After retirement, Rusty found joy in life’s simple pleasures and treasured the company of his friends most of all.
Rusty was deeply grateful for the kindness and care he received during his final days. His family and friends would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to Mike and Angie, who showed him unwavering friendship and compassion, and to the wonderful teams at Hearth Hospice and Kim Walker Caregivers for their dedicated support.
Per Rusty’s wishes, there will be no formal service. However, those who knew him can say with certainty that his warmth, humor, and generous spirit will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
Arrangements are entrusted to the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory, and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson, TN 37343.
