Thom Lelon

Miller

Thomas “Thom” Lelon Miller, 65, of West Columbia, Texas, passed away on the 8th of November, 2026, in West Columbia, Texas, in the love and care of his sisters.

Thom arrived in this world on October 30, 1961 in Buena Park, California to Dixie and Bobbie Miller. A true child of the world, Thom grew up in various towns and communities, attending several schools throughout his childhood. He went on to join the United States Navy, and afterwards, dedicated much of his life as a skilled tradesman, working in woodworking, painting, home improvement, and construction.

Outside of work, Thom had a passion for anything pertaining to computers, music, and being outside. He will be remembered most for his tough exterior with a heart that meant well, his work ethic, his coffee addiction, and love for random pieces of wood he could turn into anything.

Though Thom is no longer with us, pieces of him live on through his children, Shelby Rodriguez, Thomas Miller Jr, and Renee Bezecny; grandchildren, Charlotte, Ellie, Jon, Diana, Valarie, Wyatt, and Caleb; and siblings, Brenda Lenz, Michael Miller, Pamela Hanna, Diana Reckaway, and David Miller. He now joins in peaceful rest those who went before him, including his parents Bobbie and Dixie, His Uncle Lelon and Aunt Lois, and his dearest of friends, Don Launius.

A visitation will be held on Monday, November 16 from 9-11:00am at CT Baker and Sons Funeral Home located at 634 S Columbia Dr, West Columbia, TX 77486. Burial will follow at 2:00pm at Houston National Cemetary, located at 10410 Veterans Memorial Dr, Houston, TX 77038 .
