Glen Eugene Miller was born September 19, 1941 in Linn County, Kansas to Glen and Bessie Virgin Miller. He graduated from La Cygne High School, and enlisted in the US Army. He was united in marriage to Bonnie Martin on January 2, 1970. After serving his country for six years and being honorably discharged he went to work for Pittman in Grandview, Missouri until it’s closing.
Gene then went to work for Cates Sheet Metal in Lenexa, Kansas until his retirement in 2006. He was a proud member of the Sheet Metal Workers Union for many years.
Gene was a hard worker and generous provider for his family, but when he wasn’t working, he and his family would spend the weekends camping and fishing with friends. He loved to smoke meats and BBQ, and share with family and friends. Gene was quite the jokester, there was never a dull moment when he was around.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Walter Miller, brother Clifford Driskell, sister Dorothy Deel, sister Geraldine Dalrymple, sister Mabel Hill, sister Virginia Glaze, brother Jackie Miller, and sister Norma Meador. Gene is survived by his wife of 53 years, Bonnie Miller, son Terry Miller and wife Nancy, daughter June McGuire and husband Michael, seven grandchildren, Amanda Boyd, Jacob Ruff, Jeremy Ruff, Rebekah Silver and husband Asa, Zachary Miller, Jesse Miller, and Katie Miller.
He also leaves behind seven great-grandchildren, Ethan, Corbin, Hannah, Dylan, Jackson, Asher, and Aiden, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
