Paul William Miller

1964 - 2026

Slot car enthusiast and fisherman

Paul William Miller, born April 17, 1964, shuffled off this mortal coil at 11:33 pm Monday, February 9, 2026.

Born to Helen Louise Ripley Miller and William Damian Miller in Minneapolis, MN, Paul grew up in Burnsville, MN and attended the University of Minnesota where he received his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. Despite many career and location changes throughout his life, he found himself returning to Minnesota and a career as Staff Quality Engineer with Abbott's Structural Heart Division.

Paul enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, 3D printers and slot cars.

He is survived by his wife Dori Miller; children Gregory and Simon; stepchildren Beth, Mike and Caleb; and grandchildren Gabriel and Mialee. He is also survived by his mother Helen; sisters Marie, Cheryl and Laura; and brother David; as well as other family and friends.

Welcoming Paul to Eternity are his father Bill, Dori's father Cecil, long-time family friend William "B-Dawg" Uptegrove and other beloved family and friends.

There will be an open format celebration of Paul's life on Saturday, April 18th at the Sun Room in Lake Waconia Regional Park between 11 and 4. All are welcome to attend. Casual dress is required, extra credit for dropping a line in the water in his memory! Memorials may be made in Paul's memory, if so desired, to Let's Go Fishing, a charitable organization which serves older adults, veterans and the disabled by providing fishing and boat trips at no cost.
