August 25, 1958 - September 15, 2024

Bryan Wheat Miller passed away on September 15, 2024, in Leawood, Kansas, at the age of 66. Born on August 25, 1958, in Louisville, Kentucky, Bryan was known for his kind and compassionate nature and deep devotion to his family and his beloved Irish Setters, Colonel and Herbie.

Bryan graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School and later attended Princeton University, where he majored in economics. A natural athlete, he grew up playing baseball, football, and hockey but his passion was golf, becoming a scratch golfer and captain of the Princeton golf team.  Bryan spent 15 impactful years in Chicago, where he worked at the Board of Trade, enjoyed sailing on Lake Michigan and dedicated many weekends to volunteering in a youth mentoring program, positively influencing the lives of many young individuals.

Bryan's life was a testament to the joy found in simple pleasures and the fulfillment derived from giving back to the community. His legacy of kindness, mentorship, and love for both people and animals will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

He is survived by his father, Wayne W. Miller of Leawood, KS; sister, Pamela W. Miller of Frisco, TX; and nephew, Drake O. Miller of Frisco, TX. Bryan was preceded in death by his mother, Martha F. Miller.
