Miller and Elizabeth “Betty” Miller. He graduated from Borah High School and received his A.A. degree from Boise Junior College as a machinist in 1962. He was a member of the 1959-63 Statesman Band as their bass musician. He worked for Yankee Machine Shop and Selkirk for many years as a tool and die machinist retiring in 2011. He was involved in the Elks, Boise Jaycees, and Wright Community Congregational Church as a young man. He spent many years at Lowman as a child because his parents owned the Lowman Inn Resort. Later he helped develop Miller’s Pinewood Estates at Lowman and spent summers with his family camping, hunting and fishing there and at McCall, Warm Lake, Redfish and other favorite fishing, hunting, and camping spots. He had a great love for the outdoors his entire life. He traveled to many states as well as Mexico, Spain, and Japan. He spent the last two winters at Echo Bay on Lake Mead. He was never impressed with new technology, but was content with a lantern, fire pit, T-bone steak, his fishing pole and his best friend, Sammy, his beloved cat. He is survived by his son, David Miller; daughter, Julianne (Jason) Nye, and his two grandchildren: Nathan and Kristy Nye. He is also survived by his sister, Lynda (Ron) Hall of Meridian and their three children: Ronda (Chuck) Baines and family from Fruitland; Gary (Kellie) Hall and family from Meridian and Celeste (Mike) Evans and family from Boise.
