Timothy J. Millbern

Timothy J. Millbern, 70, passed away on October 16, 2025 in St. Augustine, Florida.

Tim was born in Bremen, Indiana to Jack and Elizabeth Millbern on July 1, 1955. He graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Outdoor Education and Recreation. Tim dedicated his career to the camping industry, working at several camps in the Midwest and New England, including YMCA Storer Camps in Jackson, MI; Flat Rock River YMCA Camp in St. Paul, IN; YMCA Camp Wilson in Bellefontaine, OH; Camp Burgess and Hayward in Sandwich, MA; Camp Hazen in Chester, CT; and Crossroads Youth Development in Duxbury, MA. He made a lasting impact on countless individuals and the camps he served, often revitalizing and improving programs. Tim deeply cherished this time in his life, forming lifelong friendships and serving as a mentor to many.

After retiring from the YMCA, he and his partner, John Gallagher, moved to St. Augustine to become innkeepers of At Journey’s End Bed & Breakfast. Tim and John worked tirelessly to make the inn one of the top-ranked establishments in the area. They took great pride in delivering exceptional service and hospitality.

Tim is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Liz, and his partner, John. He is survived by his children, Adam Millbern and Kylie Millbern; his grandchild, Kalani; and his former spouse, Maura Millbern. He is also survived by his siblings, Mike (Dotti) Millbern, Debbie (Jim) Powers and David (Paul Colichman) Millbern as well as his nieces and nephews: Ashley, Jeffrey, Chris, and Kate.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to support one of the camp programs below that help those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend.
