Keith D. Miller, 62, of Warsaw, passed away on Thursday, November 27, 2025, at his home in Warsaw.
Keith was born on June 29, 1963, in Keokuk, Iowa, the son of Paul Wayne and Katherine “Joyce” (Conover) Miller. He graduated from Warsaw High School in 1981.
Keith went on to work at Hy-Vee for several years, before his employment at Roquette for thirty-seven years until his passing. On May 28, 1994, he was united in marriage to Sally Kathleen (Handyside) Wildrick at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Keokuk. She survives.
Keith was a hard worker and owned a machine shop for small engines and mowers, which he worked alongside his other jobs. He enjoyed gardening and the great outdoors, but his love was smoking meats and cooking food, especially pork chops for his parents. He even created and distributed his own “Chum’s Rub” seasoning. Keith loved his community and acquired a massive collection of Warsaw and Burgemeister
collectables. Most of all, Keith loved his family and attended as many of his grandchildren’s events as he could.
Keith is survived by his wife Sally Miller of Warsaw; his parents Paul and Katherine “Joyce” Miller of Warsaw; three daughters: Amanda Wildrick of Warsaw, Michelle (Miller) Cottrell of La Grange, Missouri, and Kylie Miller of Warsaw; four grandchildren: Gabe Miller, Adalyn “Ady” Stevenson, Lakin Cottrell and Gage Cottrell; his brother Kurtis (Terri) Miller of Keokuk; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Keith is preceded in death by his brothers-in-law Dan Handyside and Kurt Hester; his sister-in-law Ann Hester; and his dogs Luna and Nova, who saved Sally’s life and stayed with Keith through his passing.
