In Loving Memory of Keith Miller

Keith Miller, age 66, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2025 after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by loved ones in his final days.

Born on November 29, 1958, in Barberton, Ohio, Keith lived a life marked by struggle, perseverance, and deep complexity. His story is also one of resilience and love in its own imperfect forms to live life on his own terms.

As the father of two daughters, Crystal and Kindra, he navigated a challenging journey, though it was far from easy, he was deeply loved and cared for-especially by his devoted daughter Crystal, who stood by his side and cared for him through much of his adult life. Their bond was one of unwavering loyalty, shaped by experience, forgiveness, and enduring compassion.

Keith was known for his sharp wit and stubborn spirit. He had a quick comeback for just about everything and a streak of independence that never faded. Beneath that tough exterior, though, was a man who cared deeply-and while he didn't always show it in traditional ways, he had a way of making sure the people he loved knew it. Whether through a teasing joke, an unexpected favor, or simply being present when it mattered, Keith found his own language of love.

Preceded in death Parents: Jack, Kay Miller Siblings Rick Miller, Danny Miller, and Mark Miller

Survived by his daughters: Crystal/Chris Osborne and Kindra/Alan Yeager Grandchildren: Breanna and Kindsy Cavendar, Aiden and Bryce Yeager, Christian, Jaxon and Jaggar Osborne Sisters: Debbie Lushes, Donna Sprinkle, Kim Miller, Connie Miller, his ever - faithful fur, companion Baby Girl, and those who knew his heart despite the scars.

In keeping with Keith's wishes, cremation is planned without a public visitation. His family will celebrate his life privately. Those wishing to honor his memory by a charitable contribution are encouraged to do so to their favorite charity, in lieu of flowers.
