Thomas M. Miller

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Marvin Miller, a man of devout faith and intelligence. Tom was born on May 12, 1936, and transitioned out of this life on October 22, 2025. Through his journey of 89 years, he touched many lives with his faith, wisdom, humor and an unwavering love of family.

Tom served his country in the Air National Guard for 8 years with activation to France during the Berlin Crisis. He was a graduate in Chemistry at the University of Minnesota with employment at 3M, Buckbee Mears Co, and Plasti Dip International.

Driven by an endless curiosity, Tom was a lifelong learner of astronomy, and a devoted biblical scholar. He had a passion for family gatherings, star gazing, prayer, and scripture reading along with pleasures of food, travel and an annual visit to the State Fair. This spirit which characterized his life translated into lessons he earnestly imparted onto those around him.

Tom's legacy of knowledge, faith, and family will be carried forward by those who had the privilege of knowing him. His remarkable life will forever be an inspiration, a testament of unconditional love with curiosity and resilience.

He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
