Obituary For William Joseph Miller

William (Bill) Joseph Miller II, born May 1, 1958, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, November 28, 2025, joining his loving parents, William and Olga Miller, in heaven.

Bill was a fun, loving friend to all who knew him. He could talk with anyone who would listen and especially enjoyed watching Michigan Wolverine football. He spent many years as a dedicated truck driver and loved visiting new destinations on his travels. Bill was a faithful servant of the Lord and attended church as often as he could. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus of White Lake. To many, he was simply a cherished friend.

Bill is survived by his daughters, Gina (Jay) Held and Kimberly (Michael) Thoin; his grandchildren, Colton, Oliver, Ivy, Parker, and Emery; and his siblings, Chris (Vonny) Miller, Peggy (Andy) Miller-Zelinko, and Patty (Mark) Barlow. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Olga Miller, and his brother-in-law, Andy Zelinko.

Memorial services will be held at St. Patrick Catholic Church in White Lake, MI, on January 2, 2026. The gathering will begin at 10:00 a.m. until the time of Mass 11:00 a.m.. He will be laid to rest at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield, MI at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Knights of Columbus of White Lake #13319 or Meals on Wheels of Oakland County.

    I met Bill 35+ years ago in the moving industry. He was an exceptional household and office & industrial mover and driver who was always the first to volunteer to work out of town which led to him driving long distance household thru out his long career. He was counted on to sign up for overtime or working a double shift - which he rarely turned down. He moved 5 of my relatives at least once and most twice over those 35+ years where he would rent a truck and move on a weekend after working legit for 60-70 during the week. He also had a great sense of humor and could hold a conversation with a CEO or a bum off the street. Anytime I ran into him the last 5-6 years he always had on his Michigan gear and a big smile on his face. I always applauded him for his spirituality, which he was never afraid to show and often with a little grace before a meal. He earned his spot in heaven. He was a good man.

    Bill was the first one I met who had lived in California. As I remember the first day I met him at Dunckel, was it 1970?, 1971? As he told me he had lived in Riverside. We were friends all through our graduation. Fondly remember selling him a ticket to Aerosmith-TedNugent-Foghat-The Outlaws at Pontiac Stadium our senior year. Requiesce In Peace. Fuzzy.
