Peter Miller Obituary
1949 – 2013
Resident of Lafayette
Peter died after a battle with liver cancer. He grew up in Lafayette and thereafter found limitless love and joy living anywhere near water, particularly Fallen Leaf Lake. He was happiest cruising in a fast boat, working with cars and being surrounded by fantastic friends, family and his dogs. Our hearts are broken and we will miss him.
Peter worked as an estimator for Welcomes Auto Body Shop in South Lake Tahoe and was manager of their shop in Minden, Nevada.
Peter is survived by his sweetheart Pamela Brown-Beagle, his parents Harriet (Petie) and Norman Miller, sisters Nancy Ryan (Joe) and their children Peter (Vina), Amy and Nick, and Katie Orlopp (Kevin) and their children Kelsey, Christopher, Colton and Audrey.
No services are planned at this time.
