Edward “Eddie” Jacob Millard, 1, Pittsville, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, June 5, 2026 at his home.
Eddie was born on June 3, 2025 in Wisconsin Rapids to Jacob and Rachel (Hahn) Millard.
Eddie was ready to go places - walking tall, climbing and exploring. He enjoyed trying to chase and play on the playground. He liked to clap and cheer on others with an enthusiastic “YEAH!” His first word was his sister’s name.
Eddie’s favorites, beyond his daddy’s tossing and beard tickles, was watching what his sister was into. He thought she hung the moon. They enjoyed building block towers and knocking them down! Who can scream louder, chasing bubbles, and splashing in baths. Eddie loved fruit, meat and anything good to eat! Cars, puppies and chocolate milk.
He is survived by his parents Jacob and Rachel, beloved older brother Connor Black, and sweet older sister Millie.
He is further survived by great grandparents Char and Glen Geer, Grammy Tammy Millard and grandparents Thomas and Gretchen Hahn, loving aunts and uncles Glen (Kim) Geer, Curtis (Michelle) Millard, William (Shannon) Millard, Jo Ann Millard, Lisa Altman, Ronald (Hailey) Hahn, close friends John and Katie Hoffman, his Godparent Trio of Rebecca & Nickolas Schmit and John Robert Hoffman, as well as a vast collection of precious cousins, friends and community.
He was welcomed to his heavenly home by his namesake, grandfather Edward E. Millard, grandmother Christine Ann Keech, and great grandparents Walter and Caroline Keech & Walter and Virginia Hahn.
A Gathering to Share Memories of Eddie is to be held from 5:00 - 8:00 pm on Sunday, July 19 at Wildwood Station Pavilion. Children are welcome and encouraged to attend.
