Carl Dean McMillon, 60, of Amarillo, passed away on November 4, 2026. He was born in Elk City, Oklahoma, on January 4, 1966.

Carl had a genuine heart and a precious soul. He was rugged and tender with a deep love for family rooted in strong Christian faith. He was motivated by work and loved his work family dearly.

Every Friday night, he could be found in his shop listening to his favorite music. Carl enjoyed so much in life, from yearly fishing trips in Red River to being a huge fan of #24 Jeff Gordon NASCAR, the Dallas Cowboys, and Stars hockey.

He loved hosting 4th of July fireworks and cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner.

He was an honorable man who stayed true to his word, lived intentionally by his beliefs, and was careful with his actions because he was respectful and so very proud of his last name, McMillon. Carl, you are SO loved!
