Lloyd R. Miller, 80, passed peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 29, 2022. Lloyd was born in Tower City, PA and attended college in Allentown, PA. He was ordained and served in ministry with the Wesleyan Church for 44 years, and pastored Greer Wesleyan Church for more than 30 years. During that time he also ministered with God’s Word and music at several local nursing homes and was awarded Volunteer of the Year for the state of Ohio one year for that service.
Lloyd especially loved being with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, baseball, fishing, music, chalk drawing, and oil painting. He attended the First Church of the Nazarene, Crossville. He always believed that the church was not a building but the people.
He is survived by his wife Linda; daughter Laura (Emmett) Sparks of Warsaw; son Michael Anthony (Emilie) of Mount Vernon, OH; son-in-law Scott Kohler of Danville, OH; grandson Cody Kohler of Jonesboro, IN; granddaughters Crysta (Brad) Asberry of Crossville, Bridgette Miller, Wrynn Miller, and Mattie Miller of Mount Vernon, OH; great grandchildren Kainen Scott Saville, Fisher James Saville, and Leonovi Trace Asberry all of Crossville, TN; sister Barbara (Roy) Pennycuff; and brothers Harvey Miller and Irwin Miller.
He was preceded in death by his parents Harvey Solomon Miller and Gertrude Anna (Ritzman) Miller; son Randall Scott Miller; daughter Tracey Kohler; and brothers Russell Miller and George Miller.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 3, 2022 at 10:30am at First Church of the Nazarene, Crossville.
“Pastor” Miller will always be remembered for his unselfish love for and service to others. He may have been pastor of the Greer church for 30 years but he truly was the people’s pastor with many beyond the church that were touched with his love.
