David S. Mills

David S. Mills of Winters, Calif. was called home on Monday, Oct. 31 2022 after a battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was 70 years old. 

David is lovingly remembered by his family and friends as an avid outdoorsman, with interests in hunting, fishing, golf and aviation. His early life was spent in Lemon Cove, Calif., where he graduated from Exeter Union High School. 

Dave and Nanci moved to Winters, Calif. in 1980, where Dave managed Tufts’ Ranch packing shed (now Berryessa Brewing Co), before embarking on a journey of Real Estate, community involvement through Rotary, as well as establishing a legacy as the head of the Mills Family. 

He is survived by his bride of 45 years Nanci Mills; daughter, Ashlee Mills Minton (John); son, Adam Mills (Eleanor); four grandchildren Kayden Kendrick, Madelyn Kendrick, Sofia Mills, and Easton Mills; two brothers, Brad Mills (Ronda) and Charles Mills; and many extended family to include aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. 

His contributions to the community will be remembered fondly, and his memory cherished by all. The family will be holding a celebration of life at 11 a.m. on Dec. 2, 2022 at Berryessa Brewing Co (27260 CA-128, Winters, Calif. 95694). The family invites the community for a time of remembrance and celebration of Rocky Mountain Dave.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a tax-deductible donation to Rotary Club of Winters Foundation at P.O. Box 565, Winters, Calif. 95694.

Dave and I were classmates from the 4th Grade at Sequoia Union through high school at EUHS. I have so many memories od Dave growing up together in Lemon Cove.  We shared time toogether as Cub Scouts and his Mother, Peggy, was our Den Mother. We were also charter members of the Willie Mays Fan Club in Lemon Cove.  I used to go to Dave's house on the weekends and sit by the radio with his Dad, listening to the Giants baseball games on the radio.

Most of all, I remember Dave as a good friend, who could always  brighten up a day with his smile.  We last met in October 2019 at the Sequoia Union 50th Reunion and I will always treasure those memories.  He left us too soon, but I am sure that he has gone to a better place.
