Robert was born to Edward and Shirley (Sack) Miller on April 28, 1967 in Waseca, MN during a tornado storm. He graduated from Owatonna High School in 1986.

Outside of work, Bob loved his Harley motorcycle. He was a free spirit who would spend hours driving while enjoying his rock music. He would also enjoy working on wood.

He loved animals, especially bald eagles, and astronomy where he could pick out constellations with his naked eye.
