Allen Franklin Miller

February 18, 1954 – July 23, 2026

Allen Franklin Miller was a beloved husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness, love, and unwavering faith touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Allen was the beloved husband of Susan Miller and a loving father to Matt Miller (Lauren) and stepfather to Monica Nichols, Carolyn Cirasole (Pete), and Edward Kunas (Lindsey). He was a devoted brother to Gloria Zach, the late Carolyn Larich, and Janet Renard.

Allen was a loving and deeply involved grandfather to Edward, Cassandra, Owen, Carter, Vance, Christian, Easton, Matthew, and Vinny. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren and took great pride in being an active part of their lives. One of his greatest joys was teaching each of them how to fish, sharing with them a love that was so special to his own heart.

Allen was a talented mechanical design engineer who truly loved his work. He was also a skilled designer and woodworker who found great joy in creating beautiful furniture and special pieces from wood. His creativity, craftsmanship, and patience were reflected in everything he made and everyone he taught.

Allen was a Christian man with a strong and unwavering faith. He lived his life with love, kindness, patience, and generosity. He was a shining example of what it means to care deeply for others and to give of yourself without hesitation. His presence made life better for those around him, and he left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Allen’s legacy will live on through the values he instilled, the lessons he taught, the memories we cherish, and the love he shared so freely. Though he will be dearly missed, we find comfort in knowing that he is now resting peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord.

Rest in peace, Allen. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
