Sgt. Michael James Miller age 40, of Orange City, FL, passed away suddenly at his home on August 3, 2010. Mike was born at U.S.A.F. Hospital in West Suffolk, England to George and Lorna Miller. He grew up in New Windsor, NY and dedicated his life to serve and protect, first in the U.S. Army and then with the Daytona Beach Police Department. He graduated high school from Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, NY, and received his Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Florida. When he was not at work, he loved to play with his children, tinker on his classic car and work in the yard. Everyone liked Mike. He was the type of person that stood behind you if you were right, but was not afraid to tell you if you were wrong. He was a wonderful husband, an outstanding father and an overall extraordinary person. He was a member of the Daytona Beach Motor Division, Daytona Beach Criminal Investigation Division, and presently served as a patrol Sergeant. Mike was a man of honor, loved by his family, friends and fellow officers and will be dearly missed by all who know him. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife of six years, Tracy Miller; his children, Brandon and Rebecca Miller; his broken-hearted parents, George and Lorna Miller; two brothers, Douglas and Bryan Miller; his parents-in-law, Walter Sr. and Janice Parker; the officers of the Daytona Beach Police Department and many countless loving family and friends.

Funeral Services will be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, at Daytona News Journal Center Auditorium, 221 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach, followed by honors and services at Daytona Memorial Park.

Arrangements are entrusted to Lohman Funeral Home; 386-267-1100 or www.lohmanfuneralhomes.com Sgt. Michael Miller had a philosophy he kept posted in his office at the Daytona Beach Police Department: "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of my way," it read. It wasn't original to Miller, of course, but it said volumes about the no-nonsense way he approached his job, and to a lesser extent his life. "He liked everybody," said his wife, Tracy Miller, also a sergeant on the force. "But he didn't respect you unless you had a spine and stood up for what you believed in. " Michael "Mike" Miller, 40, died suddenly at his Orange City home on Tuesday. Daytona Beach Police Dept : A longtime Daytona Beach police sergeant died Tuesday at home, the department announced today. Sgt. Michael Miller, 40, a Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor, apparently had a massive heart attack, police Chief Mike Chitwood said. "He loved working the street," Chitwood said. "He was great as a teacher and a mentor. He stood by them [his officers] when they went through losses in their families." Miller started working for the department in January 1993. His wife, Tracy Miller, also is a police sergeant.
