Joseph Dell Millward, age 56, died Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025, at his home
in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was born Aug. 14, 1969, in Moses Lake,
Washington to Joseph DeMott and Lanae Hill Millward. Tilly Jenski was a
long-time partner with whom he had a daughter, Madelyn. He later married

Dell grew up in Kingman, Arizona and graduated from Kingman High School
in 1987. From an early age, he enjoyed riding and working with horses.
He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
in the Belo Horizonte Brazil Mission. After his mission, he attended
college in Portland, Oregon to become a Farrier. He lived in Pocatello,
Idaho, and Logandale, Nevada for a short time before settling in Las
Vegas, Nevada in 1998. He was respected in the Equine community for his
horse shoeing abilities, team roping, and his work with horses. He was
fiercely loyal, genuinely concerned and uncommonly thoughtful to his
many friends. He was respectful and congenial to all who knew him in

his two beautiful daughters.
