Mike was born in Magna, UT on February 27, 1959, to Kent Mills and Doris Deveraux. He married the love of his life Cheri Conti 40 years ago on June 6, 1981. Mike was well known in the Insurance business for being the top Claims Adjuster in the nation for many years and was a mentor to numerous people and made many great relationships. During his high school playing days he was known as a pinball at Running Back and made the all-state football team his senior year for Cyprus High School. His love of football took him into coaching shortly after college for Cyprus and Bingham for over 20 years where his teams won multiple state championships and he was a devout Dallas Cowboys and Bingham High School football fan. He loved spending time with his family, working on his immaculate yard, doing projects and hosting his annual Mills-a-Palooza BBQ. He enjoyed the outdoors and loved riding in the mountains in his RZR with his wife, family and close friends. Mike was the best husband, father and “Papa” and a role model to so many people whose lives he touched in so many different ways.
