Warren Brookhart Miller, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2025, at the age of 87, in West Linn, OR. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Warren was a proud graduate of Albuquerque High School and built a life marked by curiosity, humility, and boundless love.

He is survived by his devoted wife and sandbox playmate, Margueritte Bolles Miller, whose love story with Warren spanned decades and was filled with laughter, dancing, and adventure. Their bond was a testament to deep friendship, unwavering support, unconditional love, and playful joy. He told her every day that she was his golden ray of sunshine, his guardian angel on earth, his true soulmate, and the love of his life.

A brilliant mind and gentle soul, Warren had a distinguished career at Sandia National Laboratories, where he worked in computer programming technology. He was a pioneer in a rapidly evolving field and took great pride in the work he did. But Warren’s life extended far beyond his profession.

A grandmaster in chess, Warren once played the legendary Bobby Fischer—a story he shared with quiet pride and a humble smile. He brought that same passion and patience to all his hobbies: from bird watching and photography to country dancing, riding his bike, investing in the stock market, playing roulette and computer word games, and exploring new corners of the world through travel.

Warren was known for his sincere, genuine smile and the kind of warm hug that made you feel truly seen and loved. You could see his soul through his piercing blue eyes. He embodied humility and grace, never needing to be the loudest voice in the room to leave a lasting impact.

To those who knew him, Warren was more than a man of talents and achievements—he was a constant source of comfort, wisdom, and unconditional love. Whether he was Hubby, Papa, Papa Corn, Grandpa, Dad, or simply Warren, he filled every role with a full heart and open arms.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, carried on by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and the many friends and colleagues who were fortunate to know him.

Warren is survived by his son, David Miller, and David’s wife, Amy; their daughters, Laura and her husband, Eli, and their daughter, Abigail; as well as their daughter, Casey and her sons, Nathan and Tyler.

Warren is survived by his wife, Margueritte Bolles Miller. Warren embraced her kids as his own and he will be lovingly remembered. Sherí Casados and her husband, Damian, and their son, Jaiden whom shared a very special connection with his Papa; Robert Bolles, and his son, Cody. Warren is preceded in death by Margueritte’s son, Paul J Bolles IV and Paul's daughter, Darian A. Bolles who loved her PapaCorn.

Warren was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn Peña Miller. He also embraced her children as his own, Larry Carrillo and his wife, Dale; Greg Carrillo and his wife, Nanette, and Peggy Fason. Peggy’s children—Shanna, Greg, and Alyssa—held a special place in his heart, and Shanna’s children—Trey, Trell, Raissa, and Raleigh—brought him great joy as part of his extended legacy.

He is also survived by his loving stepmother, Carolyn Miller and stepbrother, Craig Miller. Warren was preceded in death by his father, Floyd Miller, and his mother, Marianne Ferris Miller.

Warren’s spirit lives on in the memories we cherish, the lives he touched, and the love that will never fade.
