Andrew Clinton Mills

Andrew Clinton Mills passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends on Sunday, April 9th, 2023, after a lifelong illness. He was 29 years old. Andrew was born October 21, 1993, to his parents, Jackie Stokes Pierce and John Clinton “Soc” Mills. He attended St. Ignatius in Mobile and graduated from Mountain Brook High School in 2012. As a teenager, Andrew spent summers in Rosemary Beach where he was known by everyone as the original “beach butler.” After graduation, Andrew moved to Vail where he made countless friends and fully embraced the Colorado lifestyle. While in Vail, he loved working in the culinary field and spent years working for Vail Resorts. Anywhere Andrew went or lived, he was known by everyone for his unique personality and wicked sense of humor. Andrew was steadfast in his beliefs and opinions. He was passionate about cooking, skiing, music, model building, classic television, social media, politics, politics, and politics. He never let his neurofibromatosis (NF1) define him or dampen his spirits. He bravely faced his own mortality on several occasions without an ounce of fear. His infectious laugh could light up a room, and he was always ready with a joke that could make your day. He is survived by his mother Jackie Stokes Pierce (Robby) and father John Clinton “Soc” Mills, sister Sheldon Mills Morrissette (William), brother John Harris Mills (Mallory), nephew Jackson Kirkpatrick Mills, Grandmother Alice Stokes, and countless aunts, uncles, and cousins.
