Mark Miller

PORT ALLEGANY - Mark Murray Miller of Roulette passed away at Buffalo (N.Y.) General Medical Center following a stroke Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, at the age of 74.
He was born in Buffalo on May 12, 1951, and raised in Colden, N.Y. He was the second child born to the late Richard and Shirley Miller of Springville, N.Y.
He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia; they were married for almost 52 years. He was a PROUD and loving father to three daughters, Regina (Jeremy) McCartney-Mackay, Nicole Jenette (Steve) Miller and Mindy (Pete) Elniski; and is also survived by six grandchildren, Thane, Erik, Carter, Katrina, Bryce and Grant, who lovingly called him EE; and five siblings, Margo, Marie (Rich), Marla (Jim), Marlon and Martin (Patty).
Mark graduated from Griffith Institute in Springville in 1969. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from SUNY Fredonia in 1973. Later that year he started working at Red Wing Co. in Fredonia. In his 33 years there, he worked his way up from ketchup palletizer to vice president of procurement. The family moved from New York to Kansas and Colorado, then back to New York as the company changed ownership through the years.
In 2006, after retiring from that business, he started his own broker/consultant business, which he continued to the present. In 2015, Mark and Pat moved to Roulette, enamored by the beauty and peace of the mountains and the river.
An avid outdoorsman, Mark loved fishing, hunting and travel. On one of his many fishing expeditions to Alaska, he and his four buddies brought home 400 pounds of fish! He hunted in Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado and Texas. How perfect to spend his later years in God's Country, where he could fish and hunt in the backyard of his camp!
Mark and Pat travelled to many national and international locations, a favorite being Australia. Two of his favorite expressions were "Travel while you can" and "Get 'er done." And they did!
Mark was a quiet, thoughtful, patient and intelligent gentleman who loved his family and had a deep respect for nature. He will be missed by many.
Per Mark's wishes, there will be no service or visitation. The family will honor Mark privately.
We thank the excellent care of the Roulette emergency team who responded to our call for help. We appreciate, also, our caring neighbors and friends, and family.
