Scott Rulon Miller, 57, passed away from an unexpected heart attack on February 21, 2015. Scott was born in Midvale, Utah on January 23, 1958 to Rulon and Norma Miller. He leaves behind his wife of 35 years Terri, children Reina (Julia), Devin (Ruthann), Elisha Sandberg (Josh), his parents, siblings, Gary and Marilyn, and 4 beautiful grandchildren with 2 on the way, Jaxon, Henry, Oliver, Emma, Adam, and Carl.
Scott served an LDS mission in Lancing, Michigan from 1977-1979. Upon returning home he attended college and found his sweetheart, Terri, a few months later. On February 22, 1980 they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple. They raised 3 beautiful children in West Jordan, Utah before moving to Arizona in 1991. There they made their home in Mesa.
Throughout his life, Scott served in many callings such as Elders Quorum, Primary, Scouts, as well as spent time working in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. However, his most important calling that he fulfilled was as a faithful husband, loving father, and “Papa.”
Scott loved watching sports with his son, movies with his wife, and eating ice cream with his family. He loved planning vacations and watching his family enjoy the places they went. His favorite places to visit were Disneyland, San Diego, and Swan Lake. Scott was a kind and loving man, who is loved and will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to know him.

Dear Miller family,
We are all so sad to hear about Scott’s passing. My dad especially had a hard time hearing the news; he always loved Scott and the summers spent goofing off with him in Swan Lake. I have always thought of you all as family, and I hope you know how much we love you.
To Mr. Miller’s family, I’m very sorry for your loss, and I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. Isaiah 25:8 says “God will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” I hope this verse brings you some comfort as you cherish the memories of your loved one.
