Robert N. Miller, 65, of Espyville, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 7, 2025. Born on February 21, 1960, in Ashtabula, Ohio, Robert was the son of Robert H. and Ruth Cottle Miller. He was a 1978 graduate of Ashtabula High School where he also attended Vo-Ed. He continued his education at ETI in Niles, Ohio specializing in electronics. He was a devoted family man, loving father, and a hardworker being employed with Contract Telephone for 20 years and being a respected over the road truck driver for 20 years. Both professions allowed him to see the entire country from coast to coast.

Robert married Valarie J. Johnson on March 17, 1979, and they shared many wonderful years together until Valarie’s passing on December 20, 2017. A skilled woodworker, Robert found joy in creating beautiful pieces and cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his three daughters: Alice J. Cole and her husband Robert of Harmonsburg, Melissa R. Miller and her companion Will Aley of Hermitage, and Krista L. Roberts and her companion Tim Willey of Meadville. His legacy continues with his beloved grandchildren: Brandon Garvin, McKayla Roberts, George Cole, Walker Cole, and Neal Roberts.

  4. My deepest sorrow goes out to your family. Heaven has received a very wonderful person, and a true friend. I’m having a very hard time trying to deal with this, because bob and I would talk for hours on the phone, and when we was together on the road, it was like two peas in the pod .
    My Prayers and Friendship,Well, still go out for bob every day.

  13. Dear cousin Robert. I’m so sad to hear of your passing. When you see all our family in heaven give everyone hugs. I’m so glad I was able to sit beside you and talk to you at barb’s party a few years ago. We hadn’t seen each other in years and we talked the evening away. We had a lot of catching up. Every once in awhile tell the family to send us a signal from heaven saying hello. We will send in the mail a donation in your name to one of your requests. Love Linda and Dennis
