Anthony Robert Miller

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of Anthony Robert Miller, a devoted Husband, loving Father, compassionate caregiver, and faithful servant of Christ, who entered eternal rest on September 1st, 2025, at the age of 37. Born in Whittier, California on July 24th, 1988, Anthony lived a life rooted in love, service, and faith. From an early age, he felt a calling to care for others that led him into the healing profession. He practiced medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center for thirteen years where he was recognized on multiple occasions for his incredible and exemplary devotion. He began his professional career as a care tech, progressed to a registered nurse and finally to his dream job, as a nurse practitioner with the Acute Care Surgery team. During his nursing career, he earned many prestigious awards including two Daisy Awards and the 2020 Carol M. Wilson Nurse of the Year. He dedicated his life to serving his patients with gentleness, empathy, and unwavering commitment. To those who knew him, he was not just a medical professional he was a source of comfort, wisdom, and hope in times of need. Above all, Anthony cherished his family. He was the beloved Husband of Bailey (Schulenberg) Miller, with whom he shared a deep and abiding love for seven years. Together, they have two beautiful daughters, Annalise (3 years old) and Keely (1 ½ years old), who were the pride and joy of his life. He loved being a dad to his girls and spent quality time with them by playing together with their dolls, engaging in make-believe and dress-up, hair design and braiding, and everything in between. He is survived by his parents, Ronald Miller and Mary Kay McKinnis; his sisters, Kimberly McKinnis, Kathrynann Richard, Kasandra Gamez; his brother, Theodore Mugerian; his father- and mother in-law Shawn & Jody Schulenberg; his brother in-law, Easton Schulenberg, his sister in-law, Reagen (Schulenberg) Nelson, and her husband, Brandon; as well as a host of cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were touched by his kindness and humility. Anthony was always drawn to adventure. He thrived on the thrill of discovery and the promise of new experiences. His hobbies included hiking, running and working out, skydiving, Yankee baseball, cooking, landscaping and gardening, photography and playing the piano. He embraced every new challenge with fearless curiosity. His life reflected his deep faith in Jesus Christ. Whether at home, at work, or in his community, Anthony lived to serve and uplift others, always pointing back to the love of Christ as his guiding light. He leaves behind a legacy of selflessness, grace, and unwavering belief in God’s promises. Though his absence is deeply felt, we take comfort in knowing that Anthony is now in the presence of his Savior, whom he loved and served so faithfully. A visitation will be held on Thursday, September 4th, 2025 at GraceHill Church from 4-7 pm. Additionally, a celebration of his life will be held on Friday, September 5th, 2025 at 10:30 am at GraceHill Church, Elkhorn, Nebraska. All who knew and loved him are welcome to attend and honor his memory. In lieu of flowers, family requests any donations to the Miller Family in support of a memorial in Anthony’s name on the Surgical/Trauma ICU at Nebraska Medicine, and scholarship for Annalise and Keely’s education. “Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord.” – Matthew 25:21
