Visit the Shackelford Funeral Directors of Selmer website to view the full obituary.

Garry Lane Miller, a cherished soul, was born on August 16, 1951, in Selmer, TN, to the late James E. and Mary Edith Hill Miller. He peacefully departed this life on January 18, 2025, in Corinth, Mississippi, leaving behind a vibrant legacy of love and warmth.

Garry Lane was united in marriage to Suzy Webb on July 18, 2014, and together they crafted a beautiful life filled with companionship and joy. He dedicated many years of his life to his work, serving as a maintenance manager for General Electric and Spectrum and later as a heavy equipment operator and worked for Griswell Construction. Garry Lane's work ethic was matched only by his passion for his family and friends.

When he wasn't pouring his energy into his work, Garry Lane could be found on his beloved farm, reveling in the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of nature. He was known for his kindness and generosity, often described as a remarkable neighbor and a steadfast friend. His love of animals, especially his horses and dogs, reflected the deep compassion he held in his heart.

A true enthusiast, Garry Lane found joy in square dancing, dirt track and stock car races, and watching western movies. He enjoyed a good meal and had a particularly soft spot for chocolate. He was a man of many talents from working in maintenance, driving heavy equipment, hosting get togethers to the gentleness of rocking babies - his passion and dedication was his family, friends, and his work.

Garry Lane leaves behind a loving family: his wife, Suzy Miller of Bethel Springs, TN; three daughters, Sonya Miller Inman of Finger, TN; Krissy Miller of CA; and Keshia Miller Wilson of Bethel Springs, TN; stepchildren, Willie H. Tapp and wife Lindsey of Stantonville, TN, and Jimi Tapp of Adamsville, TN; four grandchildren, Jacob Williams and wife Madison, Chelsey Williams, Keyllie Shelton, and Kynleigh Smith; step-grandchildren, Destani, Aaron, Mallory, Stetson, Ridgelee, and Elam; and great-grandchild McKinnen; a brother, Barry Miller of Bethel Springs, TN; nephews, Brent Miller and wife Heaven of Bethel Springs, TN, Corey Miller and Casey Miller both of FL; and a vast circle of extended family and friends.

Garry Lane was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, William Miller; a nephew, Bradley Miller.

As we remember Garry Lane Miller, let us celebrate a man whose life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and dedication.
