A 1976 graduate of Eastern High School, Chris enlisted in the Navy the same year and after 20 years of active duty retired in 1996 in Jacksonville, Fla.

He is survived by daughters, Rhianna and Michelle Miller; father, Robert Miller; sister, Debbie Davis; nephews, Jeff and Chad Billet and their families; many cousins; and close friends.
