Robert D. “Bob” Miller, age 90, passed away on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at Scott County Hospital in Scott City, Kansas. He was born on September 1, 1935 in Scott City, Kansas, the son of Ralph Dewey and Lavon Oleeta Hunt Miller. A lifetime resident of Scott City, Kansas, he was a rancher and farmer. Bob was an Army National Guard Motor Pool (specialist) for eight years during peace time.

When Bob was six years old, he attended Pyramid View Country school in Gove, County, completing first and second grade. He moved to Scott City and attended Scott City Grade school, 3rd-8th grade. He graduated from Scott City High School in 1953. He attended two years at Fort Hays State University at Hays, Kansas and transferred to New Mexico A & M at Las Cruces, New Mexico where he graduated in 1958 with a B.S. Degree in Range Management. Bob has been in the Scott City community since the age of eight, having moved from the family ranch in Gove County in 1943. The government wanted the ranch land and other Gove County properties to be used for an aerial gunnery range so they had to move to town.
