Ron Miller started his life October 4, 1961, in Andrews, Texas. His parents moved to San Marcos a year later in 1962 where Ron would spend most of his life. Ron would eventually have 2 more younger siblings to grow up with along with one older brother. He graduated in 1980 from SMHS. Ron was a fun loving, funny character, especially in his formative years. You could count on Ron to say or do something out of the ordinary all the time.
Ron loved to fish, shoot guns and fly planes. He was a master plumber by vocation, however he lived larger than your average plumber. After befriending a number of charter fishing Captains, Ron was able to do more exotic fishing that most. One of his highlights was catching about a 1000 blue marlin.
He loved shooting from his first BB gun to his arsenal of various types of rifles and handguns. A mere mention of shooting range and Ron would be gathering his guns.
Ron also pursued a private pilot’s license, a lofty aspiration for a master plumber. He really enjoyed flying all over Florida and at times various parts of Texas. Unfortunately, he would only fly a few years before suffering his first stroke at 50, thus ending his piloting days.
Over the next 9 ½ years his health would suffer a steady decline with several TIA’s, high blood pressure, ultimately kidney failure, and dialysis 3X a week.
Ron’s passing would take us by surprise July 30,2021. Ron was preceded in death by his father, Clarence Miller, and his sister, Teri Miller. He is survived by his mother, Rita Miller, and brothers Tony and Steve Miller. As well as Joyce and Roger Kidd, his aunt and uncle. A celebration of life will be planned down the road.
