Freddie Lee Millsaps of Lynchburg passed this life and entered into the kingdom of heaven on May 8, 2026. Freddie was born June 30, 1957, to Fred and Mary Jane (Bradford) Millsaps who preceded him in death. Freddie met the love of his life, Sheila (McGowan), at the age of 16, and they were later married on June 11, 1977. They made their life in Lynchburg and had two children, Jessica (Trevor) Horton of Tullahoma and Joshua (Shannon) Millsaps of Lynchburg who all survive him. Freddie was lovingly known as “Pa” to his six grandchildren: Tyler (Vivian) Millsaps, Zachery Millsaps, Emma Millsaps, Sawyer Williamson, Presley Williamson, and Brayden Horton.
