May 22, 1940 — October 10, 2021
Royden “Roy” J. Miller, 81 of Bode, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, October 10, 2021, at the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital.
Royden Jerome Miller was born on May 22, 1940 in Troy, Missouri the son of Charles E. and Anna B. (Shoemaker) Miller. He was raised and educated in Hannibal, graduating from Hannibal High School. Roy enlisted in the United States Army and served in Germany. Following his discharge, he made his home in Colorado working 20 plus years as a member of the Pipefitter Local Union 208. He returned to Missouri where he worked for Utility Consultants as a District Manager retiring in 1995. On June 9, 1990, he was united in marriage with Judy Collins. The couple made their home in Hermann and Hannibal Missouri and then retired and moved to Bode, Iowa in 2008. Roy served as the Mayor of Bode, was a member of the American Legion, Shriner’s and St. Olaf Lutheran Church.
Roy enjoyed playing golf, had a love for dogs and was an avid sports fan – cheering for the Denver Broncos, St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues. His family remembers his ability to talk to anyone – he had a unique way of putting others at ease and making them friends.
