Cody Mitchell Miller's Obituary
Cody Mitchell Miller, 82, of Farmers Branch, died peacefully on January 30th after a brief illness. He was born July 13, 1934 in Troupe, Texas. He is survived by his sister, Joyce Rowan of Odessa; daughters Tia (Steve) Palazzolo, Danna (Charlie) Pyke; grandchildren Miller (Jonas) Pyke Martin, and Lucas Pyke. Cody married his childhood sweetheart, Jeanie Boyd Miller, but lost her to cancer in 1993. He remarried and is survived by Marilyn Clevenger Miller of Missouri; stepdaughters Nikki (Matt) Kilson, Nina (Ray) Smith; numerous grandchildren and a great grandchild. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jeanie; parents, Hattie and Julious Miller; brothers and sisters, Ruby Luella, Carry Wayne, Nancy Ruth, James Carl, Frankie Perry, Clinton “Buddy” Posie, and Ross. Cody graduated with a BS in Geology and Mathematics from Texas Tech University, and worked as Vice-President of Land and Development for Gifford Hill & Company until retiring in 1997. A long-time member of Brookhaven Country Club, he loved to play golf with his friends. Cody always had a smile on his face, and an optimistic outlook. His daughters loved what they call his “Cody-isms,” such as “Be sweet,” “Love you more than a bushel of rotten apples,” and “If that’s the worst thing, then we’ve got it made!” We will have a celebration of Cody’s life on Saturday, February 4th, at Brookhaven Country Club from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and invite friends and family to share memories beginning at 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Cody’s memory can be made to the North Texas Food Bank.
