It is with saddened hearts, that we announce the passing of Walter Miller on December 8, 2023, in Edmonton, AB. He passed away peacefully with family by his side, and went home to be with His Lord and Saviour at the age of 70 years.

Walter was born March 24, 1953, and was raised on the farm in Northmark, AB. In 1967 he moved to Grande Prairie and graduated from GPCHS in 1972. He was employed and apprenticed at Canfor Plywood Mill, completing his millwright trade in 1980, and continuing to work there until 1991. In 1994, Walter and Doris moved to Whitecourt, where he dedicated 26 years at Blue Ridge Lumber as a millwright, retiring in 2018.

Over his lifetime Walter volunteered many hours with the Lutheran Church. The church had been his place of worship, peace, and strength throughout his entire life.

In addition to spending time with his family, Walter was an avid fisherman and could often be found on the lakes in the summer, and ice fishing in the winter.

Walter's quiet, unassuming presence, and witty sense of humor will be truly missed by his family and friends.

Walter is survived by his loving wife Doris of 49 years; son Michael, and daughter Angie (Trevor); grandchildren: Liberty, Jared (Brooke), and Shelby and her mother Brandy; brothers Ervin (Lynda), and Arnie; sisters Elsie (Paul), and Irene (Wayne); sister-in-law Paulette (Roger); brothers-in-law: Vic (Eveline), Leon (Annette), Michel (Aline), Albert (Jenny), and Claude (Leann); numerous nieces and nephews; as well as many friends.

Walter was predeceased by parents Joe and Ida Miller; mother-in-law Marie Paule Roy; as well as many aunts and uncles.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, December 15, 2023, at 11:00am at St. John's Lutheran Church of Northmark, AB, (76404 RR70 Saddlehills County, AB).
