Millsap, Texas - Scott Rupert Miller passed away after a short battle with cancer in Millsap, Texas. Scott was born in Corvallis, Oregon to Forest and Arlene Miller. The Miller family moved a few times before settling in Hillsboro, Oregon where Scott attended Hillsboro High School. Scott joined the Navy shortly after graduation and served honorably aboard the carrier USS Midway during the Vietnam War. During his duty on the flight deck, Scott became inspired to be a pilot. Following his discharge, Scott returned to Oregon to begin flight training.
His first professional piloting was with Western Skyways in Troutdale, Oregon. He then moved to Garland, Texas to fly for Sabine Oil & Gas. It was there he met and married Glynda Sue Sanders, his beloved wife of 40 years. From Sabine, Scott went to work for Electronic Data Systems, enjoying a 26 year career and eventually managing their large corporate flight operations. Scott left EDS after the merger with Hewlett-Packard in 2009. At the time of his death, he was employed as instructor at CAE and a pilot at Cook Canyon Ranch.
Scott had broad interests including anything related to aviation, sports, classical music, and car collecting. He enjoyed visiting his parents hometown in Halfway, Oregon and had many fine hunting and fishing trips there. He was a lover of all animals, especially dogs, and was known to spoil any of whom were lucky enough to live under his roof.

He is survived by his partner, Nancie Kathrens (Millsap); sister, Macie Brightman (Ed) of Portland, Oregon; stepdaughters, Michelle Sandlin (Scott) of Colleyville and Deana Demoret (David) of Keller; granddaughters, Megan, Jordan, Dani, Sami, Rivers and Riley and nephew, Evan Brightman.
