Dusty was born on November 10, 1926 in Chattanooga, TN to the late Gedney Watson Miller and Minnie Roberts Miller. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during which time he became a veteran of the Korean Conflict.

Dusty liked to watch old classic western movies, enjoyed model railroading, and was an avid NASCAR fan. He was a member of East Highland Church.

Without a doubt, Dusty truly loved and cared for his family, including his pets. His family remembers him as a loving husband and father who “would tell you like it is”. Although he will be greatly missed, he will forever hold a very special place in the hearts of those who were blessed to know and love him.
