Barney was also known as "Aggie" McMillian to many who knew him. Barney was born December 24, 1918 to Thurman McMillian Sr. and Kathryn Kincaid-McMillian-Barnett, in Clinton, MO. Barney loved boxing, football, hunting, fishing, working-out, and flying. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. Barney married his second wife Dorothy Geraldine "Gerry" Evans over 50 years ago and they spent their life together until her passing away in 2008.
After attending Clinton High School, Barney graduated from Kemper Military Academy. Barney then attended Wentworth Military Academy for Junior College and ROTC.

Barney liked working with children. After returning to Clinton he taught school at Sherwood High School. When his children were younger he would take them sledding, sleighing, ice skating, and snow skiing in the winter.
