It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Andrew "Andy" Mills, a beloved father and husband, who peacefully departed this world on August 21, 2026. Born on August 19, 1964, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Andy was the cherished son of the late Donald Mills and Sarah Lopez Mills.

Andy is survived by his loving spouse, Angelica Mills, and his children, Nicholas Mills, Andrew Mills, Maximilian Mills, and Sophia Mills, his grandson, Sam Mills and his sisters, Cathy Mills Vandergriff and Patricia Mills Baehr, as well as his brother, Chuck Mills.

Andy, known for his adventurous and youthful spirit, had a deep passion for world travel. He was fascinated by exploring new cultures and remote corners of the globe. He found solace in the breathtaking beauty of sunsets and the serene landscapes of the Smoky Mountains. As a devoted father, soccer coach, lake enthusiast, and Tennessee Volunteers fan, Andy cherished creating enduring memories that he held dear.

Andy followed his father's footsteps into the flooring business. He had a gift for sales and made a career of peddling floors first in Tennessee and then across North America. He was a founding partner and Vice President of PMMAmerica importing and distributing Silikal flooring from Germany to the USA, Canada and Mexico.
