Playing the saxophone was his passion. Sam is predeceased by his loving mother Juanita Bolton, father Samuel L. Miller Jr., sister Gloria Miller and son Kris Miller. He leaves behind his stepfather Charles Bolton, sister Wanda Miller, son Aaron Miller, nephew Cedric Stamps, Maya our family dog, a host of bandmates, friends and relatives; as well as many others who loved him dearly.
