Ronald Lee Miller: life, service and career
Ronald "Ron" Lee Miller, 38, passed away on February 21, 2026. He was born on April 1, 1987, in Lubbock, Texas, to Kerry Miller and Lisa Malone. The obituary emphasizes a life marked by service, brilliance, humor and an unwavering devotion to family.
Ron began public service at age 17 when he joined the United States Army. Over eleven years of service he was Airborne qualified as an Infantryman and concluded his military career as an Adjunct Professor of Military Science at Texas Tech University. The entry describes the Army as formative for his discipline and leadership and credits it with revealing his creativity and strategic thinking.
After military service, Ron pursued law. He graduated second in his class from Texas Tech University School of Law, served in editorial leadership for the Business and Bankruptcy Law Journal and competed on five national advocacy teams. He later earned a Master of Laws in Litigation Management from Baylor University School of Law. Prior to co-founding Campbell Miller Payne, PLLC, he practiced with prominent law firms. His legal work encompassed complex product liability, commercial litigation and financial institution matters. He was admitted to practice in Texas and before the U. S. Courts of Appeals for the Second and Fifth Circuits.
Miller: family, personal passions and community life
Ron is survived by his wife, Stephanie Miller, and their four children: Hadlee, Grant, Grayson and Noah Miller. Immediate family survivors named in the notice also include father Kerry Miller; mother Lisa Malone; stepmother Karen Miller; and siblings Chase Miller, Chandley King, Tiffany Wehmeirer and Haley Malone.
The obituary highlights Ron's personality and hobbies: he was often the funniest person in the room, loved Star Wars, frequently quoted The Office, and enjoyed science-related pursuits. He excelled in varied activities—courtroom advocacy, coaching sports teams and woodworking. Woodworking is noted as a favorite passion; he crafted many pieces for his children. The family shared a love of travel in their motorhome to national parks, and when at home he could be found on the sidelines coaching his kids' teams.
