Raymond Lawrence Miller

Raymond Miller, age 82, of Cocoa Beach, Florida, passed away on July 16,2025 peacefully surrounded by family.

Born on August 9, 1942, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Raymond was the youngest son of the late John and Mary Miller. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1960 before proudly serving in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed in Missouri and Korea.

While in the service, Raymond married the love of his life, Ethel Miller, and together they built a beautiful life over their 62 years of marriage. They raised their family in Toms River, New Jersey, before retiring to Cocoa Beach, Florida, full-time.

A skilled tradesman and entrepreneur, Raymond founded Toms River Electric, where he worked as an electrical contractor for 30 years before retiring in 2000. His legacy continues through the business, which is now owned and operated by his son Jeffrey.

Raymond lived life fully and joyfully. He loved spending time on cruises, boating, golfing, and—perhaps most of all—cheering on his grandchildren at their many sporting events.

He is survived by his beloved wife Ethel, and their four children: Jeffrey (Tracy), Craig (Charlene), Suzanne (Scott), and Carolynn (Robert). He was a devoted and proud grandfather to Tanner, Ryan, Kyle, Alex, Paige, and Riley.

Also survived by his brother Joseph (Lorraine) and many, many nieces and nephews who also hold a very special place in his heart

Raymond’s wisdom, strength, and unwavering love will be forever missed and remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
