Born in Spokane, WA, he was a son of the late Stanley Miller, Sr., and Evelyn Cooper Smith.

Ronnie was a devout member of Forestville Baptist Church and was well known for playing the role of Jesus in the Easter program for 18 years.

He was quite the social butterfly and was always making others laugh. He was a prankster and could always convince others to join in on the mischief. He enjoyed being active, playing golf, traveling to the beach, riding his Harley, and spending time on Lake Hartwell with his family and friends.

He was a diesel mechanic manager for 45 years and was the proud owner of Miller’s Mobile Service.

One of his most cherished moments was the day he met his wife, Debbie, while cruising Main Street in his 65′ Chevrolet Chevelle. Debbie asked him if it had a Canadian Block in it, and he was smitten from that point on. They dated for five years before they got married and started their family. He was an amazing son, brother, husband, father, “papa”, uncle, and friend who will be missed by many.

In addition to his adoring wife Debbie, Ronnie’s legacy will continue on with his two wonderful sons, Jared Miller and wife, Jessica of Greer, and Zachary Miller of Greenville; his precious granddaughter, Emery Elisa Miller; two sisters, Pamela Omdsom, of Dacusville, and Priscilla Styles and husband, Regan of Travelers Rest; three brothers, Johnny Miller of Greenville, Rolland Miller and Alan Miller, both of Florida; sister-in-law/partner in crime, Pamela Snyder and husband, David of Easley; 15 nieces and nephews; stepmother, Alana Miller; and his faithful pups, Dixie Brown Dog and Charlie Brown Miller.

In addition to his parents, Ronnie was preceded in death by his sister, Beverly Miller Cowart; and his two brothers, Ricky Waters and Mark Miller.

A public visitation will be held Sunday, May 2, 2021 from 2:00 p.m. until 2:45 p.m. at Forestville Baptist Church. A service to celebrate his life will follow at 3:00 p.m. with Reverend Dusty Martin and Reverend Jimmy Cagle officiating. A live stream of the service will be available through Forestville Baptist Church’s website. All attendees are strongly encouraged to wear masks and follow CDC guidelines on social distancing.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Forestville Baptist Church Drama Team, 2 Old McElhaney Rd, Greenville, SC 29617.

See Condolences

To one of my best friends (and brothers from my 2nd family). He was kind, caring, loving and on other side funny, crazy, big prankster & dare devil. But when all put together one of the most Christian men so faithful to his church his friends & sweet family. If you were ever privileged enough to see Forrestvilles Eastee productions throughout 18 yrs. You would have seen him as Jesus and put his heart and soul into it. This is why I will miss Ronnie and love him so much forever until I see him again! God bless you buddy!❤️

We will miss Ronnie Miller. Love Claudia Clements and Randy Clements

Ronnie had a very good memory. I told him that when he felt better we would have him over for steaks. I was at his house having lunch one day before going out to play 9 holes of golf. I left something at his house so I called to tell him I would drop by and pick it up he. He said "No...I am holding it hostage until we have our steaks." He and Debbie came over a week or so later and we had the best time. Sherry made brownies for desert. I said "Ronnie, do you want ice cream with your brownies?" He asked "Are you going to have ice cream too?" I had to say yes because I could hear in his voice how much he loved food. Sherry and I are blessed to have had his feet under our table...a sign of friendship if there ever was one.

I just uploaded a picture of the bus my church, Community Baptist, had. I needed some mechanical help and Ronnie was the man who helped us. I had met him while working for Christian Learning Center of Greenville as a bus driver. Ronnie rescued us many a time over the years. He was a good man, friendly, knowledgeable, and devoted to helping others whenever he could. He will be missed. Rest assured, if there are any mechanical vehicles in Heaven, Ronnie is now in charge of them. LOL

Our deepest to your Family. He will be missed. Sincerely Bill and Lynn Upton

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have gone to see “Why” for many years when Mr. Miller played his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and he played the part with all his heart and soul, you could feel it. I will always remember him and he blessed my heart so much. I pray for the entire family, may God bless you all

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
