My cousin, Don, passed away on Sunday. I'm sure he was greeted by Grandpa & Grandma and Mom. We love the Miller family and want you to know we are thinking of you (constantly) and praying for you. May you feel the comfort and peace that only the Holy Ghost can give at this time. You're family was amazing to us when Mom passed away and hopefully we can show you the same love and compassion you shared with us.



                            We love you, Don.

Don Royle Miller 1958 ~ 2010 Our loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather passed away June 13, 2010. Don was born October 25, 1958 in American Fork, Utah to Larry M. Miller and Nadine Royle Miller. He was raised in American Fork and Cottonwood Heights and attended Brighton High School. Don was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a full-time mission in Toronto, Canada. After returning from his mission he attended BYU, University of Utah and Utah State University. He married Jana Matheson (divorced) and had four wonderful children: Laura (Nick) Nielsen, Brent, Todd and Blake. Don founded Miller Landscaping in 1981 and took great pride in his work. He spent his time working hard and playing hard. He loved nature, hunting and any kind of fast moving machine. He enjoyed sports and was an avid BYU and Utah Jazz fan. He looked for every opportunity to share these activities with his family and friends, and especially his two grandsons Boston and Beckham. Don had a strong testimony of the restored gospel and served in a bishopric and numerous other church callings. He found great peace in going to the temple where he often sought solace. In April of 2008 Don married his cherished love, Rae Jean Munson Monsen. They enjoyed many treasured moments together. He was kind, generous and loved to laugh. If you ever spent any time with Don you would often hear him use the word "flip" to express himself. He loved people and they loved him, he will be missed dearly. Don is survived by his beloved wife, Rae Jean, children Laura (Nick Nielsen), Brent, Todd, Blake, Josh Monsen, Jenny (Rusty Johnson), Jake Monsen (Brittany) and Jed Monsen. Grandsons Boston and Beckham Nielsen. He is also survived by his parents Larry and Nadine Miller, and sisters ReNae (Gary Orton), Maureen (Doug Martindale), and Michelle (Rick Campagna).
