Tribute: Major Brenton Millar 8/10/72 – 3/02/26 

Major Brenton Millar will be remembered for his unwavering faith in his Lord, devotion to his wife and family, consistency of character, heart for worship, true humility, constant smile, encouragement of others, faithfulness to his calling and his mischievous and fun-loving nature. 

Brenton served for 20 years as a Salvation Army officer, but his desire for others to know Jesus began long before his commissioning. Brenton’s life was underscored by his passion to share Jesus with everyone who came across his path. ‘Be kind, be brave and look after the lonely ones,’ became the catchphrase of his life—spoken by Brenton and Sammy to their children as they left for school and quoted at his funeral—a challenge to us all.  

Brenton was a loving and devoted husband to Major Sammy Millar for 18 years and a loving and dedicated father to their four children, Zac, Evy, Josh and Hope. He was the beloved son of Majors Bill and Alison Millar, and cherished by his three sisters Lynnaire, Kelly, Sonya and their families. 

Brenton’s love, friendship and influence extended to many friends, officer colleagues and Salvationists across the territory. Brenton will be missed by many and for many years to come. Well done, good and faithful servant.
