Obituary | Wallace Milam of Dyersburg, Tennessee | Curry Funeral Home

Wallace Milam, 82, of Dyersburg, died Sunday, June 13, 2021, at his residence.  He was born February 21, 1939, in Clarksburg, Tennessee, to the late Eldon and Annie S. Wiles Milam. Mr. Milam was a beloved history teacher at Dyersburg High School until his retirement in 1997; however, he continued adjunct work through 2003. He was hired in 1964 as the head football coach at Dyersburg Junior High School, then moved to  DHS in 1965 as assistant football coach under Coach Jere Stribling. In his later years, he did the football statistics under Coach James Counce. During his high school tenure, he, Lloyd Ramer, and Nawasa Jonas worked together to transform the DHS history department into “History Land” to engage students. Mr. Milam was a John F. Kennedy assassination expert and lecturer.  He spent much of his life traveling to Dallas, Texas, conducting interviews of people who were involved and researching exactly what happened that fateful day. He also spent time in Washington, D.C., researching in the National Archives.  He served on the Senate Select Committee of the assassinations of both JFK and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and testified at the senate hearings.  He was also an avid tennis player and former instructor.  

Memorial services will be at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 30, 2021 in the Chapel of Curry Funeral Home.  The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00 a.m. until service time at the funeral home.

He is survived by his wife, Becky Milam and three step-children, David Collins, Jamie Collins Hildibrand, Lucas Younger and two step-granddaughters, Keira Taylor and Pandora Hildibrand.

Wallace Milam was a class act, brilliant and funny. He gave great presentations in the 1990's that skewered Lattimer and Posner.

Greatly missed.

I agree with that Joe.

Wallace was an efficient and accurate researcher who talked about a variety of subjects.

He was easy to understand and humorous at times.

After looking into the Guinn NAA stuff and before he was about to launch his first broadside against it, he prefaced his remarks with something like this:

This whole NAA thing is an utter mess that has no probative value.  And remember this is from a guy who is coming from the medial evidence swamp.

Thanks.

Wallace's discovery of the stuffed animal dog was really good.

As was his exposure of Posner and Gaudet.

Jim Moore was a waste.  yech.

Jim Moore was like poor man's (pre) Posner LOL! His book was lame. When he wrote that he experimented with a stick for a rifle out the 6th floor window, I knew you couldn't take what he had to say seriously.

What I would have liked to have asked him is this:

If God appeared to you and told you that the CIA had killed Kennedy, would you believe it?
