Henry Leon Miller, a beloved member of the Bridge City, Texas community, passed away on April 26, 2023, at the age of 46, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He was born on April 19, 1977, in Bastrop, Texas, to Gordon Adolph Miller and Charlene Nina Miller.
Henry's passion for golf was evident to all who knew him. He dedicated his life to the sport and worked as an Assistant Superintendent at L' Auberge Contraband Golf Course, where he spent countless hours pursuing his dream. He enjoyed spending time with his buddies on the golf course, but his greatest joy was being married to Pam, whom he loved more than anything and everyone knew it. He also had a deep love for his parents, Gordon and Charlene, and cherished seeing them every chance he could. He considered his father-in-law, with whom he spent many Friday nights holding "TPG staff meetings," chatting for hours, one of his best friends. Henry loved spending time in his yard playing with his big, sweet pug, Willis (a.k.a. "WeeWee"). He adored his niece, Briona, so much that he was honored to have her as his grooms-woman at his wedding. His family and friends will always remember him as a kind-hearted person who went out of his way to make others feel special. He had a heart of gold and was always ready to lend a helping hand.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Adolph and Laverne Miller; and Charles Marchant and Leona Kirksey.
Henry is survived by his loving wife, Pamela Miller; his parents, Gordon and Charlene Miller; his in-laws, Michael Paul Bergeron and Nola Bergeron; his sons, Samuel James Miller of Cedar Creek, Justin Blake Burchfield of Bridge City, Tx, and Jordan Paul Humble of Orange, Tx; his grandchildren, Mia Elizabeth Bonneaux and Thomas Christopher Humble; his brother, Willie Thomas Miller, his sister Briona Loree Hayes and her husband Devante; his nephew, Devante, Jr.; and his golf buddies, Corey Smith, Anthony Schlicher, Jerry Tydlacka, and Pat Barton, as well as numerous other loving family members and friends.
A visitation will be held on Friday, May 5, 2023, at Bridge Point Fellowship in Bridge City, starting at 3:00 p.m. Funeral services will follow at 4:00 p.m. with Reverend Lance Faulkner officiating. The cremation will be held under the direction of Claybar Funeral Home. Although Henry is no longer with us, he will always be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of those who knew him.
