With profound sadness we announce the passing of Edgar (Ed) Millar on Thursday, February 6, 2025. Predeceased by his devoted wife Sheila (Kinnell) Millar. Loving father to Susan (Mike), Julia (Stéphane) and James (Ellie). Cherished Grampie of Rebekah, Zachary, Darren and Dean. Dear brother to Lillian Paul (Jack), Nelson Millar (Masayo) and Kenneth Cavanagh. Son of Gretha (d.2005) and Sidney Millar (d.1940), and stepfather Kenneth Cavanagh (d.1999). Will be missed by his Kinnell in-laws, and all of his nieces, nephews, cousins and family across the country.
Ed was born in Prince Edward Island (March 22, 1939), where he lived with his family until moving to Ottawa at age ten. After graduating from high school, he trained in meteorological studies before moving to then Coppermine, NWT (Kugluktuk, Nunavut). He would be there for six years, ultimately managing the weather station, before moving to Toronto to continue his career with Environment Canada and marrying Sheila. Together they raised their three children in King City and became proud grandparents. An active member of his church and community, Ed was a member of the Oak Ridges Trail Association since 1994 and was past Chair of the King Chapter. As a hiker, he conquered both the Bruce and Ganaraska Trails (amongst others) end to end, was leading hikes until the fall of 2024, and often seen out doing trail maintenance. His hard work and dedication was commemorated with the naming of the Ed Millar Side Trail. Amongst other volunteer activities, he was on the board of the King Township Historical Society, the York Branch of the National Association of Federal Retirees (NAFR) and no one will forget ‘Ed’s Bread’ and famous desserts at All Saints Annual Women’s Dinner. To recognize his service to the community he was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by King Township in 2016.
