Larry Millard - Firefighter - Wisconsin

Larry Millard

Firefighter Lawrence “Larry” W. Millard, age 56, died in the line of duty on December 11, 2015, at a hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. 

Firefighter Millard was a volunteer member of the Endeavor-Moundville Fire Department. He had 34 years of service in volunteer firefighting. 

Around 4:00 p.m., members of the Department arrived at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Interstate 39 in Marquette County. Larry was directing traffic around the scene. A driver did not see the firetruck on the highway and swerved to avoid it but struck Larry. 

Larry was rushed to a hospital in Portage and then flown to a trauma center in Madison. Tragically, Larry died from his injuries. 

The cause of the accident is under investigation. 

Florian, Patron Saint of
Firefighters, pray for Larry
and for those who have lost him.

The members of the Endeavor-Moundville Fire Department are in mourning over the death of their brother. Larry had a big heart and was like family to his comrades. He loved his work as a firefighter. He was an asset to the community and was a well-loved and well-respected man. He will be forever remembered.

Larry's loved ones are devastated over his sudden and tragic death. He did his best. He will be forever mourned.

Larry is survived by many loving comrades, friends and family members including five siblings and two daughters. 

Thank you for your service to the community, Larry. 

Pray for all who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and are gone before we can say goodbye.

Pray that Larry is in Heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
