Dr. Thomas Edward Miller
of Grand Junction passed
away on Tuesday, September
13th, 2016. He was 84.
Thomas was born on
November 28th, 1931, in
Kirksville, Missouri. After
spending his childhood in the
mid-west, Thomas moved
west to attend The School Of Mines. During his college career,
he was called into active duty for the Navy, where he focused
his efforts on the science of aerography. When Thomas returned
to school he met the love of his life, Louise, and they were
married in 1956. Together, they had three sons, Theodore,
Timothy and Terence.
Thomas’s life was filled with scientific passions. After
pursuing mining engineering, he decided becoming a medical
doctor would provide a steadier family life. With a solid
engineering background, he then became a doctor, with a
specialty in psychiatry. Thomas moved his young family to
Grand Junction in 1966 to set up his medical practice as a
Psychiatrist. While living in the valley, Thomas sat on
numerous medical boards and was a passionate advocate for the
creation of the local HMO program. Throughout his life,
Thomas enjoyed many different scientific hobbies, but none
held his attention as much as making pyrotechnics. After
retiring from the medical profession, Thomas pursued his hobby
within the pyrotechnics industry. In 2007 and 2008, he was
awarded the Grand Master award from the Pyrotechnics Guild
International.
Thomas is survived by his wife, Louise; sons, Timothy and
Terry; seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at Brown’s Cremation &
Funeral Service on Friday September 23, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.
All are welcome.
