Kenneth Miller

Kenneth J. Miller, age 73, of Manahawkin died peacefully at his home on Tuesday, December 6, 2022 surrounded by his family. He was loved by all and will be missed.

He is predeceased by his parents, Hazel and Joseph. He leaves behind his daughters, Christine and her partner Bret, Lauren and her husband Eric, and his granddaughter, Liesel.

He found his passion in music during his years in drum core during high school and kept this passion throughout his whole life. Anyone who knew him always looked forward to seeing which music t-shirt he'd be wearing that day. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1969, served during the Vietnam War, and was honorably discharged in 1971.

Ken worked for Pan Am airlines for a few years in the early 80s before moving to Citibank where he spent the last 26 years of his career before retiring in 2011.

One of Ken's favorite experiences was the time that he spent vacationing with his family each summer in Brant Beach on Long Beach Island. He loved to relax and read on the beach or on the deck watching the waves crash. He loved all the restaurants in the area, which only made his retirement and move to Manahawkin that much happier.

Throughout his time raising his daughters, he always strived to be at every sporting event (which was a lot!) cheering them on from the sidelines and ensure he was at every major life event and was beaming ear to ear at how proud he was of his daughters.

Ken most recently got to experience two monumental moments of his life. He met and held his newborn first granddaughter, Liesel Scott, on November 11th. The following day, he was able to celebrate the marriage of his daughter, Lauren, to her husband, Eric. He got to dance with Lauren for the father daughter dance to Michael Buble's version of "Daddy's Little Girl".

Visiting hours will be on Friday, December 16, 2022 from 6pm to 8pm with a service, 8pm at Maxwell-Tobie Funeral Home, 573 Mill Creek Road, Manahawkin, NJ 08050.
