Neil K Miller

Neil K Miller, 60, of West Palm Beach, FL, passed away peacefully to be with our Lord on June 23, 2014 at Palms West Hospital with his family present. He was born on December 15, 1953 in Reed City, Michigan, to Jack and Joan (Bull) Miller. He spent most of his life in Michigan before relocating to Singer Island, FL, where he graduated from Suncoast High School in 1972. Neil was a family man; he was a loving father and grandfather. In 1976, he married Karen Staples; they were married for 23 years and raised two beautiful daughters. He devoted 22 years of his life to his career at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, before retiring. Neil was a man of many talents from building his 1932 Ford Roadster hot rod, restoring his two antique Chris Craft wooden boats, to attaining his private pilot license and purchasing his dream plane, a Cessna 170 tail-dragger. You could always find Neil "tinkering" on his newest project. He most recently restored a 1942 National Flyer wagon for his grand-daughter. He loved spoiling his pugs, cooking, reading, riding Harley's, listening to music, attending church, and anything that involved helping others. Neil is survived by his daughters Tracey Miller and Michelle (Evan) Brown, grand-daughter Madison Mae Brown, brothers Scott (Janette) Miller and Jeffrey (Judy) Miller, sister Tamara (Mark) Carlson, special friend Linda Feldner, as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2 pm on July 26th, at the Fern House, 1958 Church Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33409.
