Kenneth Miller

Kenneth (Kenny) Dale Miller, Jr., of Oakwood, IL passed on January 25, 2021. He was born on January 30, 1948 to Kenneth and Elva Miller in Danville, IL. He was a graduate of Oakwood High School in 1966. He married the love of his life, Mary Ann Burnett, on September 2, 1967, she survives. Kenny served in the Air Force for four years and did a tour in Vietnam with their intelligence division. After returning home, Kenny started to work at TeePak as a line worker, where he worked for 42 years until he happily retired in 2011.

Kenny is also survived by his three sons, Brett Patrick (Shelly Collom) Miller, of Georgetown, IL, Scott Dale (Brooks) Miller, of St Joseph, IL, and Jeremy Joseph (Jennifer) Miller, of Byron, GA, and his four grandchildren, Makynzie Britton Miller, Catlin, IL and Mark Edward, Teagan Noelle, and Ashlyn McKenna Miller, all of St Joseph, IL and numerous in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his younger brothers Dave and Merle. 

Kenny was the kindest, most gentle soul you could ever meet. He never had a harsh word to say about anyone. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. But what he loved most in this world was his family: his wife was his light, his sons his pride and his grandchildren his joy. They have all lost a part of their heart and will forever miss their husband, dad, and grandpa. He will be missed dearly by all those who loved and knew him.
