William Henry Miller III, beloved father, brother and friend to many, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2024 at the foot of the Rocky Mountains surrounded by his loved ones.
Will was born in Elyria, Ohio on 2/1/46. He earned his bachelor’s degree from CU Boulder in 1968. That same year, Will moved to the Vail Valley, a place that became his home. Will was an active and popular member of the Vail community. A free spirit, he helped found Vail’s infamous “Great Race.” Will managed Montaneros for two decades while establishing himself as a respected real estate agent. He spent his later years exploring South America and sailing warmer waters.
Will took great joy in helping others and was a great giver, whether to his community or to those abroad. Will will be remembered for the lives he touched – for his loving heart, his sense of humor, his friendship, his colorful personality and his generosity.
A celebration of life will be held in Vail in February 2025. Family and friends are welcome. For more information, email [email protected]
“No matter how small you are, you can make a difference. Try.” – Will Miller
