Billy Miller

June 17, 1978 - November 28, 2017

Miller, William James III, 39, generally considered to be the coolest person in Cape May, died unexpectedly on November 28, 2017. Billy, born on June 17, 1978, was the first son of Captain William James Miller, Jr. and Holly Lowry (née Sundstrom); stepson to George Lowry; brother to John, Jessica and Patrick Miller; and step-brother to Elizabeth and Jessica Lowry. Throughout his life, Billy brightened the lives of every person he met. His smile and kindness knew no bounds. It is widely theorized, in fact, that he had the kindest heart ever created, though he declined to have it tested for fear of embarrassing anyone. A lifelong resident of Cape May, he was a well-known figure in the professional food and beverage industry, and throughout his career earned the respect and love of co-workers and patrons alike. Billy’s passions were vast, ranging from architecture to amateur astronomy. Above all, Billy’s primary love was for his family, and he spent all his free time playing and laughing with his nieces and nephews. Billy is survived by his devoted father, mother and siblings; his three loving grandmothers, Patricia Miller, Sarah Sundstrom and Ethel Bieler; and his favorite niblings, Madison, Andre, Rae-Marie, Jay, and Nate, who he said were the stars in his sky, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will forever miss Billy and all the love he brought to this world. The family will receive friends on Monday (Dec. 4th) from 10am – 11am in the Spilker Funeral Home, 815 Washington St., Cape May where a time of sharing thoughts, memories and love will be offered by Billy’s family and friends beginning at 11am (memorial ceremony). In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to non-profit Cape Assist by visiting “In Memory Of” online at: www.inmemoryof-memorial.org/billy-miller
