Kenneth Lee Miller, 55, died March 13, 2009, at Kalispell Regional Medical Center. He was born Nov. 21, 1953, in Lewistown.

After graduating from Fergus County High School in 1972, Kenny moved to the Seeley-Swan Valley. As the owner of Grizzly Construction, Kenny was a skilled carpenter and contractor, and was well-respected in his profession.

Kenny loved the out-of-doors and spent his happiest times hunting, fishing, hiking and skiing.

Kenny has a big heart and loved his many lifelong friends. He loved children and animals and always appreciated a good joke. His family and friends loved him dearly and will miss him greatly. Our many memories will stay with us forever.

Kenny is survived by his parents, Clifford and Leah Miller, of Stevensville; wife, Michelle; daughter, Makenzie Miller; stepdaughters, Aria and Jamie Halliday; brother, James Miller; and sisters, Debra West, Janet Grantham and Kathy Miller.

In lieu of flowers, donations for Makenzie Miller may be sent to Missoula Federal Credit Union, 2610 N. Reserve, Missoula, MT (406-523-3300).

A memorial service to celebrate Kenny's life will be held this summer.
