Delray Miller

Delray Miller returned home to greet his wife and parents on March 14, 2026. He patiently and quietly endured to the end.

Delray was born and raised in Manti, Utah. He was the oldest of six children. He attended school and helped his father on the farm during his growing up years. Delray served four years in the U.S. Air Force with three of those years being stationed in Germany. He also traveled through many countries in Europe and the Middle East while serving. Delray attended vocational school in Provo, Utah, where he met his wife, Sheila, who was attending BYU at the time. Delray graduated as an electronic technician. He worked 31 years for Federal Aviation Administration and provided support for the Instrument Landing System at Salt Lake International Airport. Delray married Sheila in the Manti Temple in 1959 and settled in Granger, Utah, which later became West Valley City. He spent 61 years there.

Delray loved growing a garden, planting flowers and harvesting and drying fruit. He loved camping, motorcycle riding, and hiking. Delray could build or fix anything whether it be electrical, mechanical, or anything else for that matter. He was extremely patient with children and was the desired playmate of his nephews, nieces, and grandchildren.

We’re happy that he and mom are reunited but will miss him sorely. Survived by daughter, Melanie (Jeff) Miles; son, Brian (Debbie) Miller; eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren along with one on the way. We thank all those who took the time to visit, call, or send cards and letters while he aged—it meant a lot!

Delray will be honored by his family in a private service. Interment is Fairview City Cemetery in Fairview, Utah, next to mom.
