Eric D. Miller
Miller, Eric D.
August 28, 2026, age 72. Beloved husband of Colleen (nee Murphy) Miller; devoted father of Alyson Miller, and Nicholas (Holly) Miller; proud grandfather of Bria Miller; loving brother of Kurt (Karen) Miller, Julie Schuetze, and Lisa (Matt) Stiles. Survived by several nieces and nephews; predeceased by his parents Richard A. and Marcia (nee Smith) Miller. Eric was a trusted financial planner, a kind and faith-driven man who enjoyed all things Buffalo, including the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, (while also a lifetime Boston Red Sox fan). Beyond family and friends, his first love was the game of golf, which he enjoyed locally and traveling with his son to play Pebble Beach, Old Head and Pinehurst. Eric also loved music: a shared enthusiasm with his daughter and others through singing in choirs, playing piano, and attending concerts. Eric was a devoted member of Christ United Methodist Church in Amherst, NY and First United Methodist Church of North Andover, MA. Eric enjoyed serving in Lions Club and as president of the Buffalo GYRO Fraternity.

Patti and I send our love, prayers and hugs to you all. Eric was a great guy and we always enjoyed hanging out with him! He will be missed and we are lucky to have memories!
I loved Eric. We were schoolmates going back to elementary school at Smallwood. Him and I had discussions about dying many times. We both believed that his physical death would just be an entrance to Heaven, where he would be his mother and father and other friends again.
