He is survived by his wife of 14 years Esther (Mary) Miller; daughter Jennifer Ridenour; grandsons Patrick and Jerry Ridenour; granddaughters Ariel Ridenour and Ashlee McFarland; great granddaughters Chloe and Marcella McFarland, Ophelia Burnside Ridenour; sister Barbara Ann Herndon; nieces Barbie Meyers and Kim Dean as well as many nieces and nephews of Fellsmere, Florida; sisters-in-law Dreama Washington and Annie Klemann and her husband Tim.
He was preceded in death by his parents Hughie Eugene, Sr. and Oneida Miller; brother Marion Monrow Miller; sister Patricia Kay Miller Brock.
Hughie served in the Vietnam War era in the United States Navy on the aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt. He loved to dance – especially disco.
I miss his sense of humor and laughter.

Just a few of the photos from a cruise to the Caribbean's Hughie went with me. It was a trip to remember, best of friends!

First met Hughie when a home he was living in had an Insurance claim, our business was doing the repairs. He soon became an employee in our Nursery business, also working in our restoration business. His knowledge and experience in horticulture was a great asset. Everyone loved his "forever bubbly" and fun personality. Always willing to work where ever he was need, going that extra mile in all that he did. He was my friend, we shared some bad times, but many more good times. My very favorite photo was the one I took on one of our many visits to his mother's. Changes in life, changes in health, prevented us from spending time together in these later years. He will always have a place in my heart and I shall enjoy our many memories shared. I pray that you found peace and a place in the Heavens.
