Richard Allan Miller

Richard Allan Miller, born on May 15, 1938, in Baraboo, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2024, at his home in Montrose, Colorado. He was the beloved son of Alex and Violet Miller and grew up alongside his two sisters, Judy and Carol.

Allan proudly served his country in the United States Navy for three years. Following his service, he pursued a career as a computer technician and became a successful business owner in the field. His ingenuity, persistence and brilliance were evident in both his professional endeavors and personal life. 

Allan shared a loving marriage of 54 years with Judy Ann Miller, with whom he built a beautiful family. Together, they adopted and raised three sons: James, Jason, and Steven. Allan was also a proud grandfather to seven grandchildren: Tyler, Mackenzie, Brantly, Macie, Emberly, Benson, and Luke. He cherished his role as a husband, father, and grandfather and found immense joy in the time spent with his family. 

Allan's interests and hobbies included volunteering at the Montrose County Republican Committee, remote control airplanes, model trains, photography, camping and fishing. He also was a number one "fix-it" man! If anyone had a problem with

their car, computer, toy, bike, wristwatch, irrigation pump, etc., they would call and bring it to Al -- and he would repair or fix it! He loved the challenge and never failed to come through for the individual!

Known for his kindness and patience, Allan touched the lives of those around him with his warm spirit and thoughtful nature. His legacy of love and dedication will continue to inspire all who knew him. 

May Allan’s memory bring comfort to his loved ones as they celebrate a life well-lived.
