Walter Uriah Miller

Walter Uriah Miller age 54 went to be with his Lord on Saturday, May 30, 2020 following a brave fight with cancer. Son, father, brother and faithful friend, he had a passion of music as a music maker and accomplished guitarist. In best of times, jamming with many local groups such as, “Cruizers” and “Footloose” as well as traveling the East Coast with Roanoke based band, “January Rose”. You will be forever loved, sadly missed, fondly remembered to all you knew. Until then, rest on high and jam at will. Take your place with that pick in your pocket in your often reverently mentioned, Angel Band.
