IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Miller
April 17, 1966 – May 26, 2025
Obituary
William Kenneth Miller, 59, of Oshkosh, passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, May 26, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on April 17, 1966, in Oshkosh, WI, Bill's presence lit up every room, leaving a mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Bill's childhood memories were filled with laughter and adventure. Growing up, he spent countless hours at the local Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA. When he wasn't spending time there, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. During these early years he was fortunate enough to find four amazing men he considered family, Dick Kuehn, Tom Rusch, Bob Albright Sr. and Rodger Ludwig who played a major role in his life.
Bill married Deanne Becker in January of 1997. Though they divorced, they remained close friends and business partners throughout his life.
Bill was a proud father of three girls and always joked that it was God's way of getting even with him. Despite his jokes Bill loved his daughters more than anything in the world. He took great pride in their accomplishments and loved cheering them on in sports growing up. Some of his favorite memories included attending Packer games, traveling to Naples, and supporting local businesses by eating out.
An entrepreneur at heart, Bill was involved in many businesses throughout his life, most recently NTD and Badgerland Connections. His genuine love for the Oshkosh community has shone through in everything he did. Whether serving on city council, supporting the Boys and Girls Club or helping with the parks department, his passion for his hometown was evident.
Bill was truly the life of the party, always ready with a joke and a smile to brighten the room. He was constantly surrounded by friends and always ready to have a good time or lend a hand when others were in need.
Bill is survived by his beloved daughters, Megan Miller, Claire Miller, and Katelyn Miller; and his grandchild, Briggs Miller. He also leaves behind his loving sisters, Lisa (Rick) Stiebs and Gail (Jeff) Miller; and the mother of his children, Deanne Miller; and many cherished nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Gloria and Don Miller; his sister, Susan Asfaw; and his grandparents.
His laughter, enthusiasm, and infectious love for life will be dearly missed. Cheers to you, Bill—you truly lived life to the fullest!
The family would like to thank Ray Mauer, Dean Smith, Todd Boyce, Mike Ganther, and the Aurora Hospice Staff for making sure he was cared for and comfortable during his last days.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at First English Lutheran Church, 1013 Minnesota St., Oshkosh, WI, from 10:00am to 11:30am with service to immediately follow.
