Grant Wilburn Miller, 86, of Bay City passed away November 15, 2021.  He was born April 5, 1935 in Gilmer, TX to the late Alexander Pius Miller and Nellie Jones Miller.

Grant worked hard to provide for his family, serving twenty years as a mail carrier in Bay City and later as an operator at Celanese.  Grant's love of sports was shown in his dedication as a little league baseball coach, in his position as an umpire, and in the time he spent refereeing basketball games. Following his retirement, Grant continued to pursue his love of golfing, and his grandsons have fond memories of riding in the golf cart with Papa.  His family is proud of his service as a U.S. Marine.

Grant was a member of Northside Chapel in Bay City where he enjoyed singing in the choir and organizing the church's annual golf tournament.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of thirty-eight years, Ruth Mae Heidrich Miller.   His brothers Paul, Lawrence, Dale, Don, Roger, and Roscoe Miller, daughter-in-law Danielle Jones and son-in-law Kenneth Polka also preceded him in death.
