Michael Dean Miller, 68

April 16, 2024

Michael Dean Miller, beloved father, grandfather, brother, and ultimate friend passed away at home on April 16, 2024. Born in York, PA., he was the son of the late Elmer H. and Shonna (Mehring) Miller.

Known for his unwavering love of cars, Michael often referred to his 2003 50th anniversary edition Corvette as his “wife” and his Harley Davidson motorcycle as his “mistress.” Throughout his life, he showcased his versatile skills as a jack of all trades, excelling in fixing anything that came his way.

Having dedicated years of service, Michael retired from Williams Service Company, leaving a legacy of hard work and determination. His altruistic nature touched the lives of many as he was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. In addition to his mechanical prowess, Michael was a licensed Solo Pilot, showcasing his passion for adventure and exploration.

Michael is survived by his daughters Victoria Pipher (wife of Ryan Grant) of Quarryville and Vanessa Meyer (wife of Christopher Meyer) of Philadelphia, cherished brother of Timothy Miller (husband of Tonja Miller), seven grandchildren, one niece and a host of friends that are too many to count.

In addition to his parents, Michael is preceded in death by his sister, Lonna A. Miller and his brother Donny Miller.

A memorial service to celebrate Michael’s life will be held at the Charles F. Snyder III Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. in Willow Street on April 20, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Prior to the service, a visitation will take place at 2:00 pm, providing friends an opportunity to pay their respects to the family.

Michael’s legacy of kindness, skill, and passion for life will forever be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he soar high in the skies he loved to navigate and may his spirit continue to guide us all.

I had the privilege of being in a loving relationship with Michael for 5 years between 1990 & 1995 – then reconnecting with him last year. We enjoyed going out for dinner and watching whatever shows he enjoyed at home. When visiting with him at the hospital – his brother Tim and I played music for him and made him smile. I will love you forever Michael. God Speed on your journey to eternal life. Rebecca

Our condolences to the family. He surely was a kind and generous soul. I have many fond memories of us boating, camping, riding motorcycles and just hanging out. He would do anything for you, expecting nothing in return…a rare quality these days ❤️
