Teague Curtis Miller's Obituary
Teague Curtis Miller, of Leesburg, Virginia, passed away suddenly on August 20, 2014 at the age of 41.
Though far too short, his life endures in the countless memories he created for the many people he touched and the lasting influence he'll have on those he leaves behind. Teague's energy filled the room; his humor was infectious; his smile was bigger than life.
He loved golf, fishing, the Redskins, Natural Light, labrador retrievers, Mel Brooks films, a good 80's hair band, long nights at a card table and long days on the river – though not necessarily in that order. Mostly, though, he loved his family and his friends, for whom he had great devotion and boundless love.
Teague was born in Fairfax on June 11, 1973, raised in Leesburg before the arrival of outlet malls, and graduated in 1991 from Loudoun County High School, where he studied Latin and excelled at tennis. The friendships he forged in his earliest years lasted to the end.
He is survived by his mother, Marlene Miller; his sister Denise; his brother Scott; and his nephew and niece, Tristan and Bailey. In addition to his aunts and uncles, he leaves behind his other “brothers and sisters”- his cousins and childhood playmates who grew up to be his forever friends. He was preceded in death by his father, James “Butch” Miller, the luminary of Teague's world whose inspiration cannot be overstated.
As we grieve the loss of our family member and friend, may we honor his memory by remembering how he lived, rather than how he died.
Memorial services will be held at Loudoun Funeral Chapel, 158 Catoctin Cr. SE, Leesburg, VA on Saturday August 30th, at 1:00p.m.
