Paul Howard Miller
April 21, 1961 - October 16, 2025
Paul Howard Miller, age 64, of Townsend, Delaware, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 16, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. Born on April 21, 1961, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Paul was the beloved son of the late William Paul Max Miller and Elma Irene Ebersole.
Paul’s life was defined by his unwavering generosity, humor, and devotion to his family and friends. A man of many talents, he worked diligently for years to earn his status as a journeyman electrician and became a proud member of IBEW Local 313, where his technical skill, perseverance, and dedication earned the respect of all who worked alongside him. Always eager to learn and grow, Paul went on to earn an Associate’s Degree in Electronics from Delaware Technical College and later a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from Goldey-Beacom College. He continued his career serving as an accountant for the State of Delaware, where his professionalism, integrity, and work ethic left a lasting impression.
Paul had a deep love for spending time with his family and friends. Whether he was cracking jokes to make everyone laugh, helping someone with a home improvement project, working on cars, or simply enjoying time together, he brought joy and light to those around him. His selflessness and kind spirit touched countless lives.
A man of Christian faith, Paul grew up attending New Life Alliance Church and later found fellowship at Love of Christ Church.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Carol Roberta (Raffa) Miller; his children, Jeffrey Michael Liott (Lauren Liott), Timothy James Liott, and Jennifer Lynn Miller (Jacob Underwood); his cherished granddaughter, Aria Quinn Liott; and his sister, Cheryl Lynn Miller. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Susan Joy (Miller) Rivera.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 6 pm until 8 pm on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 275 E. Main Street, Middletown, DE 19709. A second visitation will be held from 10 am until 11 am on Friday, October 24, 2025, at the funeral home, where a funeral service will begin at 11 am. Interment will be held privately.
Paul will be remembered for his big heart, quick wit, and playful sense of humor that could brighten any room. Whether through a perfectly timed joke or his knack for making others laugh even in difficult moments, he brought joy and levity to everyone around him. His legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will live on forever in the hearts of his family and friends.

We are so, so saddened to hear of Reds’ passing. There are too many fond memories of him to count from our time working together at Acme, and they will always hold a special place in our hearts. He was one of a kind, truly, and will be missed by so many. Sorry we can’t be there to offer our condolences in person, but Carol, you and the family are in our thoughts, and we pray God gives you all the strength and comfort you need to navigate this difficult time. Lots of love, Michelle and Mark
