Bryan Richard Miller II

With profound sadness, the family of Bryan Richard Miller II announces his passing on September 13, 2026, at the age of 39. Born on August 21, 1987, Bryan was the beloved son of Jeniffer Marie Brittain and the late Bryan Richard Miller.

Bryan will be remembered as a gentle soul with a selfless heart. He was always willing to help someone in need and never hesitated to step into a difficult situation and try to find a solution. Whether it was helping another person, tackling a project around the house, or lending a hand wherever one was needed, Bryan was someone who wanted to be useful and make things better.

That same determination carried into his work. Bryan was a strong and dependable worker who rarely slowed down. He took pride in getting the job done, and once one task was finished, he was already looking for the next thing that needed his attention. He also enjoyed working with his hands and taking on home improvement projects.

Bryan had a lifelong love for animals and the outdoors. His affection for animals remained an important part of his life. He leaves behind his beloved god, a Basenji mix named Tigger; a true companion in every sense of the word. Even the squirrels around his home seemed to know they had found a friend in Bryan—they would come right up to him knowing he would have something for them to eat.

Nature was where Bryan was happiest. He loved being near the water, enjoyed fishing, and appreciated simply being outdoors. But some of his favorite times were those spent surrounded by the people he loved. Bryan enjoyed gatherings, good food, laughter, and the simple pleasure of everyone being together around a table.

Those who knew Bryan as a child may also remember his fascination with T-Rex and dinosaurs, along with his love for Barney. Those early interests were part of a life marked by curiosity, enthusiasm, and an appreciation for the things that brought him happiness.

Above all, Bryan treasured the people in his life. He leaves behind his daughter, Makenzie; his fiancé, Ginger Kiley; his mother, Jeniffer Marie Brittain; and his stepfather, Robert Brimmer. He is also survived by his siblings, Brandon Miller, Andrew Quinzy, Loretta Miller, Lisa Blankenship, Robert Wagner, and Ryan Blackwell; his grandmother, Eva Brittain; nieces and nephews, Cooper, Jaxon, Noah, Emma, Ana, Ella, Andy, Bradley, Joseph, Michael, Alexia, and Rose, Grayson, Briella, along with many other family members and friends who loved him dearly.

Bryan was preceded in death by his father, Bryan Richard Miller; his grandfather, Carl Brittain; his grandmother, Marilyn Gimmer; and his grandfather, Grayden Miller.

Bryan's life was far too short, but the kindness he showed, the help he freely gave, and the memories created with those he loved will remain. He will be remembered for his gentle nature, his willingness to help, his love of animals and the outdoors, and the happiness he found simply being together with family and friends.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of Bryan on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 4:30 PM until 8:00 PM at Solosy Funeral Home.

Following the visitation, cremation will take place in the care of Solosy Funeral Home. Bryan will be laid to rest at Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery at a later date.
