Marty L. McMillan loved to fish.
"It was his interest from childhood, from when he could pick up a rod and reel, and it grew to an obsession," recalled his brother, Matt, of Mastic Beach.
McMillan conveyed that passion - surfcasting from shore or chasing blackfish from his custom-built 30-foot aluminum sportfishing boat - to his son, Cody, 16.
They were sharing a fishing trip Sunday off Montauk when McMillan's leg became tangled in an anchor line. He was pulled overboard and drowned.
McMillan, 51, was a longtime Wantagh resident who moved to Manhattan several years ago. When he wasn't fishing or running Intelli-tec Security Services, the Westbury security firm he co-founded, he was often bowhunting. "He was an expert marksman in archery," winning numerous awards and filling his office with animal trophies, his brother said.
McMillan was also an expert instructor in a martial art called wing chun.
"He was full throttle all the time," Matt McMillan said. "Everything he did, he did to the max."
McMillan was born in Kansas City, Mo., and his family moved to Long Island in the late 1960s. He graduated from Great Neck South High School in 1975 and moved to Kansas, where he entered the security field as an apprentice locksmith.
He then went to work for, and eventually became service manager of, Security Link in Plainview, and served as general manager of Alarmguard in Plainview before striking out with two partners to form Intelli-tec in 1999.
He was a member of the Nassau and Suffolk Police Reserves, nonprofit organizations in each county that support the police, and was active in the Long Island Chapter of ASIS International, an organization for security professionals.
In addition to his son and brother, McMillan is survived by his wife of two years, Nancy; a stepdaughter, Sylvia Zhao of Manhattan, and ex-wife, Susan McMillan, of Wantagh.
A wake will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at Charles J. O'Shea Funeral Home, 2515 N. Jerusalem Rd., East Meadow, with private cremation to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Cody McMillan College Scholarship Fund, c/o Intelli-tec Security Services, 2000 Shames Dr., Westbury, NY 11590.
Marty,
