July 17, 62, Walstonburg
PJ Miller received his heavenly promotion on Sunday, July 17, 2016. PJ was born March 23, 1944 in Talihina, Oklahoma to the late Gilbert Alven Miller and Janice Cunningham Miller. A people person by nature and one who never met a stranger, PJ had a way of connecting with everyone he came in contact with. He was a man who truly loved being outdoors, PJ enjoyed gardening and working in his yard. A fisherman at heart, PJ was most happy when out fishing and nothing was more pleasing than the tug of a fish on the line, no matter the size. PJ loved worshiping at Garris Chapel United Methodist Church. He was always willing to help those in need and especially enjoyed assisting in the wheelchair ramp ministry. PJ was proud of his Cherokee Indian heritage and loved a good western on television. His memory will continue to live in our hearts.
