Donald H. Miller

Donald H. Miller passed away on August 11, 2012 in Sun City West, Arizona. He was born in Middleport, Ohio on March 19, 1933 to parents Charles and Bonnie Miller. He attended Rutland elementary public school system and earned his GED at an early age.

Don worked as a young man in the Strip Mining fields of Southeastern Ohio then, at age 40, moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he began and built his successful business of mining cinders in Northern Arizona. The business was passed to his son, Mark, and recently to his grandson Robert.

Don’s favorite pastime was flying his air conditioned Beechcraft Bonanza regularly with friends and family. Naturally, his last venture was to develop a private Airpark in Salome, Arizona. Western Sky Airpark is home to pilots and their families who live next to and taxi their planes directly to the runway, from their personal hangars.

Don and Violet recently celebrated 60 wonderful years of marriage which includes 4 sons Steve, Mark, Greg, and Jerry and 11 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Don Miller spent the last year of his life at Clare Bridge and enjoyed a most wonderful and caring environment filled with love and kindness, so although contributions are not necessary, you may consider making a donation to the Clare Bridge Memory Care of Sun City West at 14001 W Meeker Blvd, Sun City West, Arizona. 85375
