Robert “Bud” Louis Miller, 87 of Livingston, Texas passed away on Saturday, February 6, 2021. He was born in Ridge, Texas to Collie P. and Deslay (Martin) Miller. Robert was a quiet simple man with a Heart of Gold. He would do anything for others, was taught a good work ethic and passed that on to his family. He always enjoyed traveling with his family and had a natural talent to fix just about anything. He also always enjoyed fishing and hunting as well. While growing up the youngest of 5 children, he enjoyed playing baseball and was considered very talented enough to go to a training camp for the Saint Louis Cardinals, but chose to stay home to help with the family. He graduated from Pasadena High School and served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict where he received a National Defense Service Medal. He worked in instrumentation most of his life with different companies such as Sinclair, Arco, Lyondell and Austin Industrial until his retirement in 1995 to Lake Livingston with his wife of almost 65 years, Patsy Miller.
