Obituary of Robert Lee Miller

Robert Lee Miller, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother-in-law, and friend, passed away on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at Bay Medical Facility in Essexville, Michigan. Born on May 6, 1937, in Bay City, to the late George and Lillian (Bronson) Miller, Robert was a man whose life was filled with the joy of music, the thrill of sports, and the warmth of family gatherings. Throughout his life, Robert was known for his love of Country & Western music, which brought rhythm to his days and joy to those around him. In his younger years, he was an avid sports enthusiast, engaging in boxing, weightlifting, and football. These activities not only kept him fit and healthy but also taught him the values of discipline and teamwork that he carried throughout his life. Robert and his beloved wife, Juanita "Jane," shared a passion for cooking and community, which they turned into a successful venture, B & J Catering. For many years, they delighted in serving up delicious meals for events, large and small, bringing people together over shared tables. Robert's love for the outdoors was evident in the meticulous care he gave to his yard work, creating a welcoming space for family and friends to gather. Robert was a cherished presence in the lives of his family members. He is survived by his devoted wife, Juanita "Jane"; his children, Brian L. Miller, Rick D. (Debbie) Miller, Sandra M. Miller, and Angela K. Miller, 12 grandchildren, great great grandchildren, special cousin Marilyn and numerous nieces and nephews, will also hold his memory dear in their hearts. He is proceeded in life by his beloved brothers & sister. Feddie Miller, David Miller, Donald Miller, Earl Miller, Danny Miller, Timmy Miller, sister Nancy Jimenez, and baby Geradine. Robert's life was one of active engagement with the world around him, and his passing marks the end of an era for those who knew him. His legacy is one of love, dedication, and the joyous spirit with which he approached every day. He leaves behind a tapestry of memories that will be cherished and shared by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Robert Lee Miller was a beacon of light and love in the lives of his family and friends, and though he is no longer with us, his spirit will continue to inspire and guide us.
