GALLOWAY -- Timothy C. Miller, aka "Spanky," of Galloway, and formerly of Niles, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2021, at 10:25 p.m., following a brief, courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 62.
Tim was born in Wheeling, W.Va., on April 28, 1959, the son of Robert E. "Murph"and Marianne E. McCabe Miller.
He was a 1978 graduate of Niles McKinley High School. Following high school, he attended West Liberty University.
Mr. Miller owned and operated Creative Investments, where he was a project relocation engineer.
Spanky, as he was affectionately known by his friends and family, was of Catholic faith. He loved being outdoors -- from spending time at his favorite hunting spot to fishing in the local fishing hole. Tim had an interest in farming and raising animals. His true passion was being an off-road enthusiast -- from riding four-wheelers to off-road vehicles, in the hills of Tennessee, to the deserts out West. Tim was loved by all those who knew him and he would give the shirt off his back to help those in need.
He is survived by his father, Robert E. "Murph" Miller of Niles; a sister, Aimee (Albert) Cantola, also of Niles; and two brothers, Alan (Nancy) Miller of Canfield and Murphy (Lora) Miller of Port Charlotte, Fla. Tim is also survived by a close friend, Michelle Rios of Garrettsville; numerous nieces and nephews; and two dogs, Alex and Sophie.
Tim was preceded in death by his mother.
