Steven D. Miller ’80

Body

We are sad to report that Steven Miller died suddenly March 7, 2010, at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis of complications relating to open-heart surgery. His wife, Lisa Huxley, was at his side.

After graduating from Princeton with a bachelor’s degree in politics, “Mill Mill,” as he was known by his friends, received a law degree from Washington University. At the time of his death, he was in private practice in St. Louis.

John Novaria, who remembered Steve from undergraduate days, said he “was extremely funny and probably made me laugh more than any other classmate. I’m really saddened.” Jonathan Plitman wrote: “He had a sharp eye for pretense but was
at the same time full of good humor and kindness.”

Steve is survived by Lisa, whom he married in 1991; his father, Abraham Miller; his stepmother, Stelle Miller; and his brother, Michael Miller. He was predeceased by his mother, Phyllis Hyde, and his sister, Ellen Miller.

Steve will be missed for his wit and charm.
