He was a resident of Flint Township, Michigan and was a member of Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle. Bobby attended Lafayette Training School. He joined the United States Airforce at the age of 21 and continued his education with the Airforce and obtained a degree in Boiler Maintenance. Bobby earned his Master Sergeant Stripes and became a Supervisor of Boiler Maintenance. He spent 27 years of service in the Air Force before retiring and moving to Flint. His hobbies included, walking and jogging (especially around his pool table), listening to jazz and having fun with his family. Bobby was known for many of his clichés, “beats me”, give (mezu) mean water, (Is-na-potie-qud) which meant “think nothing of it.” He traveled all around the world during his years of service. Bobby spoke most about his time spent in the Philippines and his adapting to life there. He was loved by all his family especially all his nieces and nephews. Bobby was our favorite uncle and will be truly missed! Mr. Bobby Dean Miller leaves to cherish his memory: twin sons, Stacy and Tracy; 5 sisters, Norma Avery, Ophelia Simpson, Joe Ann Davis, Paulette Robinson, all of Flint and Jackie (Floyd) Pree of Lewisville, AR; 2 brothers, Pledger Miller of Pine Bluff, AR and Gary Wheeler of Flint; a host of nieces and nephews; cousins, Howard & Eve Miller, and John B. Miller Jr.; sister-in-law, Frankie Miller of Pine Bluff, AR; 2 brothers-in-law, Jessie Davis Jr. and Eddie Robinson, both of Flint; a host of other relatives and friends including special friends, caregivers, Belinda Johnson, home health aids from Comfort Keepers, Reah and Najah.

The family would like to express special thanks to medical providers at McLaren-Flint Neuro & ICU staff for their passionate care to our family in our time of bereavement.
