He was born in Steubenville on January 11, 1947, one of five children to Arthur and Nellie Gale Miller, Sr.

Butch nourished his faith at Saint Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church and held a position with the Knights of Columbus.

Butch retired from the Weirton Steel Corporation after forty years of faithful service as a general laborer, holding membership in their twenty-five-year club.

His family describes him as a hard-working, independent individual who passionately loved his family. His attentiveness to his daughter and grandchildren through the years will be forever cherished in their hearts.

Their memories made through the years will always take them back to the cross-country trip the family made in eight days. Taking the northern route across the United States visiting Mt. Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, Yellow Stone National Park, and visiting Indian Villages, were just a few of the memorable sites on their list.

Butch was preceded in death by his parents,
