William Wayne (Bill) Millgate"Brush Bunny"My Beloved Husband and our Father, Brother and Grand Pa William Wayne (Bill) Millgate passed away on November 14, 2012. He was born on August 29th, 1931 to Ernest and Ruby Briggs Millgate. Survived by the love of his life, wife Betty Lou McManus Millgate, their five children Terry (Brenda), Bill Jr. (Shanna), Sherry Lynn, Bruce (Gina), Tricia (Jim) brother Ernie Millgate and 12 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Bill and Betty shared the passion of traveling and enjoyed many beautiful trips together. Bill took great pride in his ability to earn a living for his family with his hands as a carpenter; he was always willing to help those in need. An avid sportsman, he passed the love for the great outdoors onto his children and grandchildren. It was his dying wish that his body be donated to the U of U medical research. At a later date he will be cremated and his ashes will be spread over the Uintah Mountains and Lake Powell. There will be no formal service, just an informal celebration of his life. It will be held at 1445 West 11775 South on Sunday November 18th from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Hospice for Utah.
