Millard Welsh

In Loving Memory of Millard Henry Welsh
`
Millard spent his childhood in Hutchinson, Kansas, and later made his home in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, ultimately settling in Cleburne, Texas.
On November 26, 2003, Millard married the love of his life, Barbara. Together they shared 22 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.
Millard proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, attaining the rank of Airman First Class (E-3). Following his military service, he continued working as a civilian contractor for the military in Greenland and Guam.
He later worked as a computer programmer for AIG, a career that perfectly suited his lifelong fascination with technology. If it involved a computer, Millard was game. He loved computer games and especially enjoyed building computers from individual parts.
Millard loved trying new things, and one of his favorite traditions with Barbara was trying a new restaurant together every week. He was also a true newsaholic and always wanted to know what was happening in the world.
He was a member of The American Legion and was proud of his military service.
Those who knew Millard will remember his wonderful sense of humor—he was funny without ever trying to be. He had a personality that drew people to him. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him. Although he could light up a room, Millard was just as happy at home in his easy chair with his remote control.
Millard is survived by his wife, Barbara; his daughter, Jessica Welsh; his son, Jonathan Jeffers; and his siblings, Jack (Shirley) McClelland, Chris (Barb) Welsh, and Carol (Ron) Nichols.
He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Albert Welsh; and siblings Bob Rubidoux; Beth Chambers; Pat Cruz; and Art Welsh.
At Millard's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service.
A Love Like Ours
For 22 years, Millard and I loved each other in the little ways that became the biggest things.
He opened my car door every time we went somewhere. I never put gas in my own car because he always did. He took care of me, and I lived to take care of him. We simply loved doing for each other.
That was our marriage. I lived to do for him, and he lived to do for me.
Anyone who saw us together could see what love looked like.
Millard was my husband, my best friend, and the person I shared my life with. His absence leaves a space in my heart that can never be filled, but I will forever be grateful that I got to love him—and that he loved me.
He was my love, my home, and my person.
I loved him so much. I always will.
