Brian Mills Jr.

Brian Keith Mills Jr., 37, of Leetonia, OH, passed away at 3:50 a. m., early Saturday morning, November 13, 2021.

He was born on October 30, 1984, in Salem. He is the son of Brian Keith Mills Sr. of E. Palestine and Roxanne (Stokes) Kerr of Leetonia.

Brian was a 2002 graduate of Leetonia High School. He was a die-hard black and gold Pittsburgh Steelers Fan and if the game was on, that’s where he could be found. Brian liked to work on cars. His knowledge of cars aided him well as he assisted customers as an employee of Advanced Auto Parts. Brian enjoyed watching movies, but if given the option, his true pleasures were most any activity that could take him outdoors. Golf and swimming were among those activities. He completely loved the rush of racing dirt bikes and quads, but also, the peacefulness that fishing, camping, and boating offered him. Brian will be greatly missed by those who loved him dearly. 

In addition to his parents, Brian is survived by his step-mother; Sue (Kunkle) Mills, step-father; Mike Kerr, sisters; Paige Kerr of Leetonia, Alexandra Mills of E. Palestine, Danielle Gorby of Fairmont, WV, maternal grandmother; Nancy (Martin) Neff and step-maternal grandfather; Larry Neff Sr., both of Leetonia with whom Brian lived.

Brian is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather; Lawrence Stokes III, paternal grandparents; Bruce and Betty Mills, step-maternal grandparents; Patricia (McTague) Carpenter and Donald Kerr, step-paternal grandparents; Delbert and Betsy Kunkle.

Visitation will take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p. m. on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at the Arbaugh-Pearce-Greenisen & Sons Funeral & Cremation Services in Salem, followed by services at 2:30 PM. Pastor Kari Lankford will be officiating the services.
