Harold Gene Miller

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Harold Gene Miller, loving husband, father, and grandfather.

He leaves behind his wife, Vickie Diane Miller of Boone, NC; one daughter, Stacey Renee Tester and husband Ronnie Tester of Fleetwood, NC; two granddaughters, Hannah Grace Tester and Katelyn Marie Tester both of Fleetwood, NC; and one sister, Donna Hodges of Deep Gap, NC.

Harold was born on September 18, 1950 to Grant and Lucille Miller of the Triplett Community, Deep Gap, NC. He was a self-employed dump truck driver for over 50 years in Watauga County. He loved spending time with his granddaughters and taking road trips. He loved being outdoors hunting and fishing.

There will be a private family memorial at a later date. Flowers can be sent to his home or donations can be made to Meat Camp First Responders or Samaritans Purse. The family would like to thank the Meat camp First Responders and EMS for all the times they came to assist with Harold during his illness. Also, we would like to thank Dr. Charles Davant, III, MD for being his physician for over 30 years.
