It was a complete joy to be in Rick’s presence. He was a jokester at heart and was often found “cracking” on friends and loved ones. Rick was known for being nice and caring. He would often buy items simply to give them away. Giving and sharing were indeed his love language. He was a very stylish dresser and he loved to travel. Rick was also talented in baking cakes.
Rick was a member of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity. He was also heavily involved in a yearly fashion and arts showcase in the Spartanburg area.
His memory will be shared and treasured by brothers, Leroy Miller of Powder Springs, Ga, Dwayne Miller of the home, and Timothy Miller of Hampton VA; sister, Gwendolyn Miller of Lawrenceville, GA; aunt Wessie Stephens of Roebuck, SC and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, coworkers, and friends.
