Milford L Dees
February 25, 2026
Milford L Dees went home to be with his Lord on February 20, 2026 after a brief, aggressive battle with cancer. Born in Jay, Florida, he was a lifelong resident on Northwest Florida; he did travel a little, but was happiest when he was home.
He graduated from Tate High School in 1957, and joined the United States Army Reserves, serving for 8 years. He worked at Chemstrand/Monsanto for 35 years, retiring in 1992.
In 1960, he married his high school sweetheart Carol (Miller) Dees, and they were happily married for 47 years, until Cookie’s death in 2008.
In 2013, he married Patricia (Arnette)Dees, and was a faithful husband until her death in 2024.
He is survived by his two daughters – Denise (Keith) and Carolyn (David); two grandchildren, Ben and Rachel; a beloved sister-in-law, Frances; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Services will be held at Faith Chapel North in Cantonment, Florida, on Friday, February 27, 2026 at 10:00 am. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, that the money be donated to your favorite charity.
