Obituary of Colee Miller

 

Colee William Miller, age 38, a resident of Ft. Scott, Kansas, passed away Sunday, September 15, 2024, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.  He was born May 29, 1986, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Douglas William Miller and Tammy Sue Marsh Miller.

Colee attended school in Ft. Scott and graduated from the Ft. Scott High School with the Class of 2004.  As a child, Colee attended the Grace Baptist Tabernacle with his great-grandmother, Irene Baysinger.  He also was active with the AWANA program at the Bethel Community Church.

After graduation, Colee worked for Klein Products.  He later owned and operated his own business D & C Sanitation and also helped with Miller’s Mowing.  Colee was naturally gifted when it came to technology and electronics.  He was often called on by friends and family whenever they needed some “tech-support.”

Growing up, Colee enjoyed spending time with his friends whether it be cruising, hunting or fishing or going to concerts. He was given the nickname, Lolo, by his cousin, Brynlee. Colee was always the life of the party.  He will be remembered for his quick wit and lively sense of humor; every family needs a Colee!  Colee dedicated his time to making memories with his son, Rivver.  Together, they enjoyed many hours riding the side by side, spending time outdoors and at the arcade.   Colee will be lovingly missed by his family and friends.

 

Survivors include his parents, Doug and Tammy Miller and his son, Rivver, all of Ft. Scott and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.  Colee was preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Laura Miller and Donnie and Barbara Marsh as well as his great-grandmother, Irene Baysinger who took such good care of him as a child.

 

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 A.M. Friday, September 20th at the Cheney Witt Chapel.
