Floyd Miller was born on November 23rd, 1930 to Hugo and Emma Miller in El Centro, California. He graduated from San Jose State University and joined the United States Air Force, completing his duty in 1957. He moved to Fremont that year to partner with his father Hugo. Together through hard work, ingenuity, and building relationships they started and grew a number of successful companies including Western Precooling Systems and Glacier Ice Company. He was described by all who knew him as a man of great character and integrity, and he continually looked out for the welfare of all those around him.

Floyd was passionate about his faith in the Lord as he was a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Fremont for 59 years. He had a deep love of flying from his days in the United States Air Force continuing to his last flight in the left seat at age 80.

Floyd cherished his family. He is survived by his wife (of 63 years) Joann; son Craig (Debbie); daughter Susan (Wayne); grandchildren: Heather, Josh, Lisa, Jeff, and Lani; and great granddaughter Palmer.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Floyd on Friday, November 11th, 1pm at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Fremont. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Concordia Seminary (St. Louis, Missouri) Kueffner Endowment, which was established by Floyd and Joann to support and assist students with tuition as they prepare for pastoral ministry. Any contributions to the American Diabetes Association would also be appreciated.
