Brent Stanley Miller, 32

Dec. 6, 1978 - April 22, 2011

Brent was born in Portland, Ore., and grew up in the Coeur d'Alene and Spokane area. Brent graduated from Ferris High School in 1997 and went on to attend North Idaho College, Spokane Falls Community College and the University of Idaho. In 2009, he graduated from the Glen Dow Academy of Hair Design.

Brent was very active and enjoyed skateboarding, snowboarding, playing guitar, traveling, painting, hanging out with friends and being a "ladies man." His witty sense of humor always kept us on our toes and put a smile on our face. Brent was very particular, and had a style all his own. He was loving, free spirited and had a heart of gold.

Brent was dearly loved, and will be sadly missed by his mother, Bernadine Oliver; father Doug Miller; older brother Derek Miller; younger sister Toree Miller; grandparent Ann Walson; grandparents Marvin and Shirley Miller; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Although he will be missed greatly, his soul is now at peace. He will forever remain in our memories and our hearts.

A celebration of his life will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, April 30, 2011, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 812 N. Fifth St. in Coeur d'Alene with Pastor Mike Grabenstein officiating.
