His faith, wife, and family were his priorities in life. Junior never met a stranger and always held out a helping hand for family, friends, church, and his community. Junior loved to be active in Hyrum, the town he loved so much. His favorite golf partner was Norma, you could also find him on the courses with his children and grandchildren. He was a member of the Biltmore Country club in Phoenix, AZ and was much loved by all he became friends with.
Junior, Norma, their children, and grandchildren snowmobiled and fished for many years up at his ranches in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. Junior held a pilot’s license and loved to fly, it was in his heart and blood.
Junior was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and he served faithfully in various callings. Junior and Norma were able to serve two missions together. The first mission was in Ghana, Africa and the second in London, England. Junior served his country in the Army Air Corps during World War II.
Junior worked side by side with his father, E.A. Miller and his older brother, Lynn, in the business E.A. Miller and Sons. After E.A. Miller passed in 1954 the two brothers were partners in making the business a renowned producer of Miller’s Blue Ribbon Beef. This company has since been sold to JBS. Junior, being the business man he was, then started up Miller Companies, a company that provides crops, compost, and raises cattle. These establishments have employed many of his best friends and family. He has always had a way with others, showing love and compassion to all he met.
