GERALD ALVA MILLER

After a long struggle with illness, Gerald "Jerry" Alva Miller, Sr. passed 
away on December 22, 2012. He was born on March 28, 1953 in Ruston, LA, and 
resided most of his life with his wife and family in West Monroe, Louisiana. 
Born to Alva Cled Miller and Dorothy Winstead Miller, Jerry became the epitome 
of an intelligent, hard-working, and religious man. At the age of nineteen, he 
married Deborah "Debbie" Gail Arrant on July 21, 1972. He received both a B.A. 
and a B.S. from Louisiana Tech University in architecture and structural 
engineering. For most of his adult life, Jerry worked as a structural engineer 
for Architecture + in Monroe, Louisiana and helped design buildings across the 
entire United States. In Monroe alone, he worked on such iconic local 
structures as Pecanland Mall and Delta Community College. He was a member of 
Forsythe Avenue Church of Christ and a ham radio enthusiast.

Jerry is preceded in death by his father Alva Cled Miller and is survived by 
his mother, Dorothy "Dot" Miller; wife, Debbie Miller; son, Gerald "Al" Alva 
Miller, Jr. and wife Leigh; daughters, Miranda Miller Johnson and husband 
Joshua , and Michelle Miller; sister, Laura Miller Beavers and husband Sam; 
grand-daughters, Trinity Johnson and Katy Johnson.

He was a funny, caring and thoughtful person, and an avid reader, music-lover 
and electronics enthusiast. Jerry was always ready and able to offer advice or 
help on almost any topic ranging from carpentry and car maintenance to 
structural designs or computer construction. A beloved son, father, 
grandfather and friend, he will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

Visitation will be held at Kilpatrick Funeral Home on Lamy Lane in Monroe, 
Louisiana on Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.

The funeral service will follow at 3:00 p.m. at the funeral home with Bro. 
John Dobbs officiating. Interment will be at Kilpatrick's Serenity Garden in 
West Monroe, LA.
