David E. McMillon, DVM, 64, died January 23, 2020, at Salina Regional
 Health Center. He was born July 21, 1955, in Wichita, Kansas, the son 
of Hancel and Thelma (Houston) McMillon.

David grew up in Wichita, graduating from Wichita East High School in
 1973. He attended Kansas State University where he earned a Bachelor of
 Arts in 1977 followed by his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 
1980.

Dr. McMillon - or Dr. Dave - joined the Hoisington Veterinary 
Hospital in June of 1980. In 1989, he bought the practice from Dr. Ray 
Ganoung and maintained a solo practice hospital until 2009 when he hired
 Dr. Lindsay Mitchell as an associate. Dr. Dave retired in 2015, selling
 the practice to Dr. Mitchell. He then continued to work part time for 
the Downs Veterinary Clinic for the winter of 2016-2017. Dr. Dave&nbsp;was a 
lifetime member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA, 
the Kansas VMA, and during his active years, a member of the American 
Bovine Practitioner’s Association.

Dave was a pillar of the community, a philanthropic heart, and a good
 neighbor to everyone. He was a member of First United Methodist Church,
 where he was involved for many years on the Administrative Council, 
serving several years as chairman, and also chaired the Finance 
Committee for six years. He served three years on the Trustees committee
 and the Staff/Pastor-Parish relations committee. He also taught the 
high school class of Sunday school for several years. He was one of the 
original board members for the Clara Barton Hospital Foundation, serving
 for 12 years, including several years as chairman, where he helped 
organize the first foundation benefit auction and golf tournaments, and 
emceed the foundation auction for more than 20 years.&nbsp;

In his spare time, he coached baseball for the Hoisington Boys little
 league, Babe Ruth, and K-18 teams for about 10 years. His teams earned 
awards such as the Babe Ruth Regional tournament sportsmanship awards 
two years in a row. In 2016, his team won the K-18 state championship. 
He was honored to be an assistant coach for the Babe Ruth West team at 
the 2013 East/West All-Star game, but could always be found down at the 
ball fields cheering for everyone. Dave was also well known for his 
metal-detecting hobby, and not only could be seen showing off his 
treasures around town, but after retiring from his "on-call" time as a 
vet, remained on-call to find lost items with his metal detector. 
Finally, he has volunteered for a variety of Hoisington Labor Day 
activities over the years.

On August 5, 1999, in Hoisington, Kansas, he married Peggy and they had 20 years together.
