In Loving Memory
Roger L. “Moose” Miller Sr., 85, formerly from Kokomo, passed away March 1, 2026, peacefully in his home. He was born Sept. 2, 1940, in Kokomo, IN, the son of Marion L. and Fern I. (Templin) Miller. He grew up playing sports and was a standout football player for Kokomo High School, receiving All- State Honors. After graduating in 1958, he went into the Air Force and was a reservist, stationed in Mississippi. After the service, he pursued a career as a foreman at Kokomo Transmission Plant, retiring in 1995. He was an avid duck hunter, collector of antiques, and loved to be with family and friends.
He was blessed with 3 children, 6 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren (with another on the way). He never missed a game or match when his children or grandchildren were playing. He was the most supportive dad and grandpa. Throughout his life, he formed many lasting friendships, notably Dan Forkner and Wayne “Fuz” Killion.
