SUTTON - Joshua Millea passed away unexpectedly on March 18, 2024 in Richland WA.
He leaves behind many precious and happy memories for his parents Keith and Robin Millea, his sisters Brooke Millea and her partner Andrea, Hannah Millea Jordan and her husband Chris, and his joyful niece Kendra. Josh will also be dearly missed by cousin Julie, who was more like a big sister, his loving grandparents Thomas and Beverly Chisholm and many uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Josh graduated from Purdue University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering, George Washington University in 2015 with a Masters in Engineering Management. He obtained his Professional Engineering License for Virginia in December 2016.
We are so proud of all Josh’s accomplishments. Josh started his professional career with Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, October 2012 as a Nuclear Engineer. March 2018 Josh started employment with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine. July 2023 Josh took a position with the U.S. Department of Energy as a Nuclear Safety Engineer in Richland WA.
Joshua’s love of the outdoors is evident in the breathtaking photos he took during the many hikes and adventures he went on. He mastered his skills for rock and ice climbing through the years. Whether hiking solo or in a group, day or overnight hikes, or on one of our many family (less strenuous) hikes, he enjoyed the challenges and beauty of the world.
Family and friends will celebrate and remember Josh’s life by gathering for a time of visitation on Thursday May 23 from 10 to 11:30am in Mulhane Home for Funerals, 45 N. Main Street, Millbury. His funeral service will follow at 11:30am in the funeral home.
