Kenneth “Kenny” Charles Miller, 73, for- merly of Heppner, passed away February 8, 2015 in his home in Gresham, OR. A celebration of life will be held for family and friends later this spring in Fossil. Ken was born August 30, 1941. Ken was the son of Vernon and Mary Miller from Fossil and Mayville, OR. He was proud to be born and raised in Fossil and a member of the Wheel- er County High School class of ‘59. Being a resi- dent of Fossil and a gradu- ate of Wheeler County High School will live forever with Ken. After two years of school and football at East- ern Oregon College, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, spending four years sta- tioned mostly in Germany. In 1967 Ken began his long and impressive career in the banking industry. His first position was a loan collector. The stories of repossessing cars back in those days were very funny. From that position he was promoted to loan officer in the Prineville, OR branch. With his eastern Oregon background, Ken excelled in the banking industry, being able to relate to the ranchers in a way the city bankers couldn’t. Next came a stop in Heppner as a branch man- ager. A few years later came his position as Vice Presi- dent of Consumer Loan in Bend.
