Kevin Miller Obituary

Kevin Bradley Miller 7/2/1955 - 5/26/2011 Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Friend. A titan of a man with infinite talents and a work ethic matched by none. Kevin was the type of person everyone loved to be around. Putting others always before himself, Kevin would help you anytime and with anything. His grin was enough to brighten the darkest day. As his boys have become men, he has guided the way. A respected man with an even bigger heart; too big for his own good. It is with a heavy heart that he will be remembered. His hat read "life is good" and so it was; with memories of him shall it ever be. Survived by Wife: Teresa, Sons: Wesley, Shane and Cody. Parents: henry and Eva, Siblings: Steve, Stan (Ellen), Brian (Sandy), Kim (Fred), Kerry (Bonnie), Dianna, Chris (Marion), Matt (Katie), Margie (Robert). And Countless relatives and friends. Viewing will be held today from 5-8pm at Curnow Funeral Home, 1410 Main St. Sumner. A funeral service will be held on Thursday June 2nd at 11am at All Saints Catholic Church, 204 6th Ave SW, Puyallup. Please sign online guestbook at www.curnowfuneralhome.com

Kevin was my best friend in Junior High School and in my first year of high school. I moved away to Idaho in 1972.
I had a chance to go camping with his family one year near Port Angeles. Even tho the trip was interrupted by a missing teen and constant helicopter take-offs and landings by the National Guard, we still managed to have some fun camping and being in the outdoors.
I was so sorry to see that Kevin had passed. I wish I had checked in with him sooner. My name was Flaherty back then but I was adopted in 1973

My brother Kevy was the most impressive man I have ever known. From his amazing creativity to his ability to touch the hearts of everyone he ever came in contact with. When Kevy was around, he made you feel special no matter who you were. We are all very lucky to have had him in our lives. Our hearts ache and the hurt is unbearable. He will be missed. Teresa, our thoughts and prayers go to you and the boys. What a wonderful man, what an exceptional life!!!
