Michael Miller Obituary

Published by Decker-Givnish Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 1, 2022.
Michael D. Miller of Chalfont, PA., passed away on January 1, 2022 at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. He was 64. Born in Abington, PA, he was the son of the late John "Jack" and Carole (nee French) Miller. He was the beloved husband of Wanda Lynn and the loving father of Tammy (Melvin) of Sellersville and Heather (Mike) of Harleysville; grandfather of Nicolas and Jonathan; brother of David of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Eric of Frederica, Delaware. Mike was Director of Data Warehouse Operations at Independence Blue Cross in Philadelphia. Previously, he worked for Prudential, Seabury and Smith and MarshMcLennan. Mike grew up in Hatboro, PA and attended The Upper Moreland School District until his family moved to Florida, where he graduated from Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach. Mike was a proud graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude and was a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society. Mike loved sports. One of his greatest joys was coaching his daughters' athletic teams when they were kids, including Upper Moreland softball, soccer, and basketball. Mike also enjoyed playing softball and basketball through his work leagues, and was an avid Eagles and Penn State football fan. Mike and his wife had fun listening to classic rock and country bands. Mike was also a craft beer enthusiast, traveling to different breweries around the country with his wife. He was a huge animal lover as well, going to great lengths to rescue numerous abandoned and feral cats. Just a couple years ago, he donated several cat shelters he built to Forgotten Cats. Mike's memorial service will be private. To honor Mike's memory, the family requests donations be made to Forgotten Cats, 4023 Kennett Pike, Suite 422, Greenville, Delaware 19807, or you can also donate online at https://forgottencats.org/services/donate/.

Wanda, our thoughts and prayers are with you on this saddest of times. Mike was a good man who obviously was taken from us way too soon. Kath and I will always remember the occasions when the four of us would visit wineries, breweries, music venues, or just having dinner and hanging out. We will all fondly remember the humor and wit that Mike brought to the Friday lunches, after work gatherings, and the annual Christmas party. Good times indeed. Rest in peace Manager Mike, you will be sorely missed.

I was fortunate to have worked with Mike at Prudential for several years. After he and I left Prudential, I would periodically run into him at Home Depot and often rode the train from Ft Washington with him down town. At Prudential, we played a lot of ping pong in the recreation lounge. Mike was very competitive and very good - I lost more than I won. He had a great sense of humor and a fast wit. One day I made the mistake of wearing two different shoes and was 5 minutes from leaving for the day unnoticed - and then Mike walks to my desk. In a matter of seconds he has an audience looking at my shoes. It was all in the name of good fun. He often mentioned his family and was very proud of all, so I hope you can take comfort in that. It was an honor to have known him.

Mike and I used to have lunch often when we were still in the office, and attempt to solve the problems of world and keep ourselves sane. Never succeeded at either. I miss him dearly and my heart goes out to Wanda and the girls. It was my privilege to know him.

Mike was more than coworker. He was a friend mentor, horseshoe buddy, lunch buddy. Always have time in his busy job to ask how the family were doing or to give some great advice. Will miss the stories and dry sense of humor.

Mike - You will be greatly missed, especially your welcoming nature and down to earth approach to relating to everyone, no matter what level on the corporate ladder. I also enjoyed our many conversations about music. I wish we could have attended at least one of the many shows that we talked about going to. Such a good and humble man. My sincere condolences to the family.

Mike was a great guy. We used to shoot the breeze about Delray Beach, where he spent part of his growing up years. He also advocated for me at work to management, completely unsolicited, which I greatly appreciated. He was a mensch, as we say. I'll miss him.
