Gary Miller Obituary

Gary Miller was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished brother, proud grandpa and great-grandpa, and a friend to all who knew him. He lived a life full of laughter, wisdom, and fierce love, leaving behind memories that will be treasured forever.


Gary had a rare gift for making people laugh. He was a true jokester, always ready with a smile that stretched from ear to ear and a laugh so contagious it filled the room. His joy was effortless, and being around him meant you were guaranteed a good time. He was known for his witty remarks and classic humor, often joking that a good foot rub could fix just about anything.


He loved deeply and wholeheartedly, especially when it came to his wife, Patricia Miller. Gary adored pampering her, and their love was something truly special to witness—one that set an example and gave others something to look up to. Patricia passed away on February 1, 2025, and just eleven months later, Gary joined her in heaven. Their love story continues, reunited once again.


Gary was a proud veteran, serving 20 years in the United States Navy before retiring. His service reflected his strength, dedication, and sense of duty—qualities he carried into every part of his life. He was a wise man who taught his family so much, not just through words, but through the way he lived. In addition to his military service, Gary had been a dedicated Mason since 1981, a lifelong commitment that reflected his values of brotherhood, charity, and integrity.


He is survived by his children: Kimberly Boyer (Rodney Boyer) and his son Bradley Pack. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren: Heidi Anderson (Dillon Anderson), Elizabeth Pack, and Colton Boyer as well as his precious great-granddaughter, TaLeigha Bessie.


Gary is also survived by his brothers: Dale Miller, Tren Miller (Linda Miller), and his youngest brother Marvin Miller (Teresa Miller), along with many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.


He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy Miller and Forrest Miller; his brother, Dennis Miller; and his beloved wife, Patricia Miller.


Gary Miller loved fiercely, laughed loudly, and lived fully. His wisdom, humor, and enormous heart will be missed beyond words, but his legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the love he shared so freely.
