Guy Raymond Miller 1947-2018

Mesa, AZ. – Guy “Ray” Miller, 71, formerly of Lordstown, Ohio peacefully entered the presence of his Lord and Savior, Friday, November 23, 2018 at Banner University Hospital in Phoenix, AZ.

He was born on October 24, 1947, in Warren, Ohio, the son of the late Carl and Geraldine Miller.

He was a graduate of Bristolville High School and spent much of his career as a member of the Teamsters for over 25 years.

Ray married Betty Byler of Parkman, Ohio in 1971 and together they raised two children in Lordstown and they later moved to Mesa, Arizona, to be with two of their grandchildren.

While residing in Lordstown, he was an active member of Bailey Road Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon, trustee and Awana leader.  Upon his retirement in 2009, he and Betty moved to Mesa, Arizona, where he was a member of Calvary Baptist Church serving as a deacon.

Ray enjoyed wood working, remodeling and repair work for himself and others.  He was known for his sense of humor and kindness.  He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend to many.  He most enjoyed his time with his grandchildren, watching them play sports, playing board games and taking them to the park.

Ray will be greatly missed by his loving wife Betty; son Jeffrey S. (Nancy) Miller of Mesa, AZ.; daughter Julie Miller-Hock of Charleston, SC., grandchildren Nicholas & Luke Miller, and Madison Hock, brothers; Carl A. Miller and Espy H. Miller.

A Memorial Service will be held at Calvary Baptist Church in Mesa, Arizona on December 15, 2018 at 10:30 a.m., which will be followed up by a Celebration of Life service at Bailey Road Baptist Church at a time and date to be determined in early 2019.
