MILLICAN

Donald Louis Millican passed away on October 31, 2024, in Greeley. He was born in Durant, Oklahoma, on April 23, 1940.

 

Don, as he was known to his friends and family, lived a full life. He was an artist, composer, author, musician, aircraft pilot, entrepreneur, inventor and most notably an engineer. As a top-level engineer for IBM and Storage Technology computer companies, he received awards for the electronic designs on many stateof- the-art computer storage devices and he holds patents on several related inventions. In 1976, with his wife Nancy and brother Derryl, he founded MECA, a personal computer company at the very genesis of the personal computer industry.

He is survived by his faithful wife Darlean; sons, David Reese and Mark Louis; as well as 11 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

His ashes will be spread upon his mother’s grave in Atoka, Oklahoma.
