Edward E. “Bubba” Miller, 90, of El Campo, passed away on September 23, 2020. He was born on February 6, 1930 in Columbus, TX to the late Oscar J. and Rosie Braden Miller. After graduating from Columbus High School and serving in the U.S. Army, Edward married Margaret “Margie” Parma on November 24, 1951. After marrying, he worked for his brother A.G. “Red” at Miller Motor Company. After several years there, he then went to work on oil and gas wells with Jayhawk Engineering in El Campo and then with Midcoast Services and Supply in Edna. Edward never completely retired; he continued to work with ranching and farming until his death. Edward loved spending time outdoors. He had a passion for hunting, camping, and observing wildlife. He worked with the Boy Scouts where he taught hunting and gun safety. Edward also helped coach football at St. Philip School, and he coached El Campo Little League teams. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for 61 years and was a tireless volunteer and worker for the K.C. and St. Philip Church picnics. The family will miss Uncle Bubba’s knowledge, his ability to fix anything, his energy and drive to get things done, his quick wit, and his famous icebox barbecue chicken!
