In Loving Memory of Michael A. Miller
Michael was born May 22, 1950 in Indianapolis, IN to David and Mae Miller. A graduate of Indiana State University, he went on to work, and later retire, from Henry C. Smither Roofing Company. Mike is survived by his loving wife, Leslie Miller, children, Jeremy Miller (Kristen Self) and Erica Miller, and siblings, Myrna Sausser and Jim Miller (Peggy Miller).
Mike, a man of quiet strength and boundless kindness, passed away on February 17, 2025 at age 74. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, and his presence brought warmth and steadiness to all who knew him.
A man of few words but deep wisdom, Mike embodied stoicism, grace, and unwavering love. His kindness was not loud but ever-present, a gentle reassurance to those needing it most. He had a way of making the world feel a little safer and softer simply by being in it.
To his family, he was a pillar of strength, offering love in the quiet moments, a reassuring smile and witty demeanor, a steady hand, and an unspoken understanding. To friends, he was loyal and true, always there when it mattered most. To everyone who had the honor of knowing him, he was simply a good man.
Though he was not one to seek attention, the love he gave will never be forgotten. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those he touched, in the kindness he showed, and the quiet but profound impact he had on the world around him. He is deeply loved and missed.
For those residing in Tennessee, a Celebration of Life will be held on May 24, 2025 at the Rarity Bay Golf Club (Vonore, TN) from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. For friends and family located in Indiana, there will be a Celebration of Life from 4-7 PM Friday, April 4, 2025, at the I-Town Church Olsen Farms location, 12491 E. 136th St. Fishers, Indiana 46038. Updates, when available, will be posted to his obituary on the Washington Park Cemetery website. Local arrangements by Biereley-Hale Funeral Home, Madisonville.
