Mark Stuart Miller, promotor and producer of the Gabby Gourment Shows, passed away Jan. 11, 2015, in Denver. Rabbi Steven Foster officiated at the Jan. 14 graveside service at Mt. Nebo Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
He was our ethical and moral compass honest, straight and true, the family said. He never lost his sense of humor, even on the worst day of struggling against Parkinsons Disease, but his humor was never barbed or hurtful.
He wanted to help everyone and anyone and certainly achieved that desire. He loved traveling, photography and so much more.
But above all else he adored his wife Pat and dedicated his later years to helping build her career.
He was happy to be known as Mr. Gabby Gourmet.
Mr. Miller was born April 11, 1932, in Denver to the late Jacob and Ethyl Rose Miller.
He graduated East High in 1950 and Colorado A&M (now CSU) in 1954.
In 1954, he married Patricia Anne Greiper, who later became known as the Gabby Gourmet.
Mr. Miller entered into the familys ranching, land, oil, water and mineral resources business, Joe Miller and Co., and remained with the company until the mid-1990s.
He then joined his wife as promoter, producer and sales executive for the Gabby Gourmet Shows.
Id find him reading the IJN obituary section and ask him, Why one family member said. He would say, Im looking for my name. If I dont see it, it will be a good day.
Mr. Miller is survived by his wife Pat Miller; sons Steve (Carol) Miller and John Miller, PhD; sister Lieba Alpert; and grandchildren Joey and Hannah Miller.
Contributions may be made to The Denver Hospice or the National Parkinsons Foundation, 200 SE 1st St., #800, Miami, FL 33131.
