obit for Barney Y. Miller

 

Barney Y. Miller, age 87, of Covington, passed into life eternal on November 2, 2017, following a battle with Stage IV Lung Cancer. Barney was born in Elba, Alabama, the son of Doris Mabel and Benjamin Lee Miller. He had 12 brothers and sisters: Lawrence, Wilburn, Floyd, Audrey (Meleski), Trammel, Charles Ray, Rebecca (Copeland), Duke, Lulaine (Perrotta), Vereda (Atchison), Sandra, and Ronald. Barney married the love of his life, Mary Elizabeth Bennett, on December 23, 1955. Their children include: Mary Yolanda Miller, Kimberly Miller, Benjamin Miller (Samantha), and Samantha Wallet (Rich). Their loving grandchildren are Brandy (Ed) Rigel, Valerie (Dan) Pampel, Ashley Uptagrafft, Clayton Blackwell, Brooke Uptagrafft, and Joseph Uptagrafft. Their great-grandchildren are: Corban Pampel, Echo Duckworth, Asher Pampel, and Gunner Pampel. They are also blessed with a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; as well as six siblings.

 

Barney Miller was a true modern-day renaissance man, ever reinventing himself over his lifetime. Barney was a field engineer, owner-operator of a construction company, deep-sea fishing charter boat captain, hall-of-fame musician, teacher, mentor, outdoorsman, politician, comedian, story-teller, game master, Alabama fan, Christian, and, most of all – a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
