Michael Miller, 70, of Little Rock, Arkansas, loving husband and father, passed away November 28, 2024. A Little Rock business owner and CPA for 48 years, Mike didn't know a stranger. His passion for cooking, golfing and following the Razorback football team enriched the lives of those around him. It was not unusual to find a crowd of friends and relatives enjoying his ribs or gumbo and listening to Jerry Jeff Walker, Kris Kristofferson, Robert Earl Keen and Guy Clark.
Mike married the love of his life, Brooke Frieden Miller, November 20, 1976 and he considered her his best friend and confidante from the day he met her until this day. He loved his son, Rob Miller with the entirety of his being. The family adored three labrador retrievers, Grits, Dixie and Roxie.
Mike was a member of the Rotary Club of Little Rock (Club 99), he was a Paul Harris Fellow, founder of the Executive Networking Organization, Twentieth Century Club Hope Award recipient and a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Xi Chapter and served on the Board of Arkansas Hospice. Mike was a CPA and member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants. He was a member of Highland Valley United Methodist Church in Little Rock.
Mike was born January 17, 1954 in the Azores, Portugal to Ed and Libby Miller. He attended Neville High School in Monroe, LA and was a member of the Tigers Football team. He attended the University of Arkansas graduating with a B.S. in Accounting.
Mike is survived by his wife, Brooke; son, Rob and daughter-in-law, Louise of Little Rock; brother, Lyle Miller (Lisa) of Monroe, LA; sisters, Debbie Westbrook of Jackson, MS and Patty Mauldin (Mick) of Baton Rouge, LA; brother-in-law, Lex Frieden (Joyce) of Houston, TX and nieces, Natalie Moore and Lauren Rosendahl and nephews, Thomas Westbrook and David Miller.
