William Paul Miller

Heaven’s gained another angel.

William was a man of many talents and passions. In his younger years, he was a gifted football player who excelled in many positions throughout his school years, carrying with him the same determination and team spirit that would define the rest of his life. He dedicated 32 years of service to Lenzing Fibers, where he earned the respect of his coworkers not only through hard work, but through leadership, serving proudly as Union President for 10 years.

William’s love for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football was legendary. Saturdays in the fall were spoken for, and he cheered for Alabama with the same wholehearted devotion he gave to everything and everyone he loved.

He is survived by his loving wife, Leigh Marler Miller; his son, Chris (Cat) Miller of Yulee, Florida; three cherished grandchildren, Jacob, Daniel and Hannah; brother Tim Miller and beloved sister in law, Karen; niece, Brittany (Ryan) Weston and great niece, Lillian; stepson, Buddy Atkins and his stepdaughters, Mary Atkins and Madison Lumpkin. He also leaves behind many cousins, aunts, uncles, and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

Though his chair may now sit quiet, the stories, laughter, smoke from the grill, echoes of turkey calls, and crimson Alabama Saturdays he loved so much will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Roll Tide, William. Until we meet again.

Pallbearers are Carl Rowell Jr, Jay Rowell, Jonathan Robinson, Robby Turner, Gary Miller, Daniel Miller, Blain Chastang and Barry Stagner. Honorary Pallbearers are all the cousins.
