Michael Miller Obituary

Miller Michael "Mike" Miller, 63, of Dublin, passed away Wednesday morning, January 27, 2016 after a long illness. Mike was born April 3, 1952 in Columbus, OH. He was the only child of Marjorie (Miller) Zielke. He attended Whetstone High Sch-ool and held a Bachelor's degree from Ohio University and a Master's degree from Ashland University. A middle-school tea-cher for 28 years, Mike was passionate about the STEM education program and was a pioneer in introducing technology to the classroom. He taught at Worthington Kilbourne Middle School and Licking Heights Middle School. Prior to teaching, Mike owned his own landscaping business--to the end, he remained devoted to having a perfect lawn. His hobbies included music, specifically guitars, cars, and remodeling projects. Mike is survived by his wife, Lynette; and children, Brian, Nicholas, Matthew, and Caitlyn. He was preceded in death by his mother Marjorie (Miller) Zielke and stepfather Clarence Zielke. In keeping with Mike's wishes, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to "Mike's Pay it Forward", a gofundme account to help those in need of alcohol dependency assistance. www.gofundme.com/hv3s6mhw

Lynette--
I was Mike's roommate at OU (and he was my best roommate ever). I have such fond memories of our times together. Hopefully, the memories of the good times together will help you through this difficult time.

I'm sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I remember seeing him regularly at the Worthington Rec Center. Mike had my son Kenny in class, and was one who knew how to teach a very spirited boy. To Caitlyn, a former student of mine, I'm sorry for the loss of your father.
