Steven Miller Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 10, 2016.
Steven D Miller, age 73, passed away at his home on March 26, 2016. He is survived by his wife Patti, sons Brian and Brent, and granddaughters Isla and Lainee. Steve was born on January 16, 1943 in Charlottesville, VA to parents Albert and Sudie Miller. He graduated from the University of Miami and went on to become an airline pilot in 1967 and flew for Eastern Airlines until 1991, 24 years. He later worked with Miami Air where he eventually retired at 60. When he wasn't flying he was on the water. Steve was an avid boater, member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and generally loved anything having to do with his boat and the ocean. A private memorial service for Steve will be arranged at a future time.

Steve, as we flew our last trip at Evergreen together, I remember how much fun it was! I am glad I got to connect with you again a few times over the last year. It was great to see you. Rest in peace.

Steve,
Sorry to hear of your passing. Those "after years" of Eastern and Panam....we all worked so hard to make it happen again at Miami Air. I was privileged to be your scheduler. Susan Mefford

Roy and I enjoyed going on patrol with Steve. We all miss him very much. He was a very good friend to all of us. We enjoyed having a drink at the back of the house at other times. Steve always had good stories to tell us. We liked going out on the night helicopter operation where we were the safety boat and other times just going to marker Charley at night just to stand by with no other boats out on the water. We were always ready to respond to any call from the Coast Guard Base.

Captain Miller, Was a one "of-a-kind"! Very few folks, that I knew, commanded the attentation and admiration of Steve. He was a classmate of mine at Eastern and a wonderful person. May his sole rest in pease.
