Ken Miller

Ken Miller was born in California June 26th 1930 to Louie and Emma Miller. In 1947 he became a Navy Corpsman. After leaving the Navy he moved to Vancouver Washington and met his love, Della. They married May 3rd, 1952, then moved to Colfax and he became a Washington State Patrolman. In 1968 he became a Sergeant and the family moved to Mercer Island.

His life was about family, caring for others, and serving the Lord. He was an active church member and gifted everyone with his amazing voice, singing in the choir, and solos. In his retirement he became a ship captain, and was able to sail through the Panama Canal and in Alaska. He devoted his time to the Civil Air Patrol, as a pilot heading search and rescues, and mentoring young people. He worked on the board for the Arlington Fly-In.

It would be impossible to count the people he saved, or those blessed to be touched by his life. It was evident to all that he loved the Lord, was devoted to family and believed in living life to its fullest. He will be missed by his wife, Della; his daughters Marlys, and Andrea; his sons-in-law Douglas and Dave; his grandchildren Zachariah, Joshua, Sarah, Rachel and Kristoffer; and his God daughters, Melissa, Carly and Gabby. We rejoice in knowing that he awaits us in the ultimate wild blue yonder, Heaven.

Services will be held on March 20th at 2:00 at Bellevue Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be sent to The Civil Air Patrol.
