Remembering Gary Miller
Gary Miller, Miscellaneous Monday, March 14th, 2011
The Acappella Company is grieving the loss of a wonderful brother in Christ. Gary Miller passed away suddenly Sat. March 12th 2011.
A special offer to benefit the family at this time of need
There are many immediate expenses for the family that will need to be taken care of in the next few weeks regarding medical services and funeral arrangements, and several other ongoing expenses that Gary’s wife Debbie will now be facing without his help. To help, the Acappella Company would like to offer for this month, The Ultimate Gary Miller Collection – with all profits going to the Miller Family. Thank you for your prayers and continued support. God has blessed many people with the gift of music and we were graced with Gary’s presence in this company for many years. In loving memory.
You can assist the Miller family by purchasing The Gary Miller Collection at Acappella.org

i grew up listening to His amazing ability to sing base. God bless his family w strenght and i wan them to know that Gary left a huge legacy here i PUERTO RICO and all over d’ world, im sure.
GARY DID HIS MISION, HE DID HIS JOB ON EARTH.
May God bless the Miller family in their time of sorrow. My son loved Gary and learned so much from him when they recorded their Altar cd. I know the angels are singing better now that Gary is singing with them.
My four sons grew up listening to Acapella and learned to sing bass by the time they were 7 year olds. What I remember is Gary’s joyful countenance while he was singing. This week God took home some really special saints! I look forward to buying the CD! God bless the Miller family. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us!
Yes, his countenance was so joyful, Jerri.
Thank for all those who have blessed the family. Please continue to keep them in your prayers and hearts and spread the word about this collection. It really means the world to them.
[...] at 6:00 pm and will feature a special medley in honor of our beloved brother and dear friend Gary Miller, who passed away last [...]
I sang to the people in Africa
Some who didn’t have food to eat
In the depths of full-blown poverty
Most were living out in the street
What a thrill to deliver the Gospel
To a people who were so distressed
Holding back the tears and the cultural fears….
Thank you so much Gary,we found hope and strength here in Zimbabwe with your bass for the Lord.
Gary indeed had a heart for others. His voice and music was his gift that he offered to others.
We miss our brother so much. If you looked around at the memorial service, his legacy was evident! Generations were touched and mentored by Miller. Our hearts are heavy, but in a bittersweet way, for we know that you are in our Father’s presence. Thank you, Keith, for offering this collection to help Debbie and the kids. We are spreading the word!
Angie – I’m sure it was a bitter-sweet reunion. Sharon and I are so sad we could not be present. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing a part of the memorial. And thank you for offering this opportunity to others to help Debbie in this difficult time. Sad to not be able to be there for Debbie and the family. Such a tender, loving, and talented friend and servant. Gary will be so missed by us all.
What an impact he made during his time on earth!
One great man who noticed and cared about little people, of which I am one. So sorry for your loss. Praying for you!
HE’S A LEGEND AND HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO MANY. MAY GOD KEEP HIM

our lives. The Lord is so good, through you all He has provided. We have
peace beyond understanding, we know where our precious husband & Father
is-Heaven-praise God, safe, well, filled with joy I can not imagine!! Darling,

WE WERE BLESSED BY HIS MUSIC FOR SOME OF ITS WAT KEPT US NEAR THE CROSS AND EVEN WHEN WE WONDERED THOSE WORDS WERE STILL IN OUR HEART PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS WORK KEITH WHEN WILL YOUR COME TO ENGLAND
Thank you so much! Hope to return to England again as we were so well received.
I’m from Brazil, I have followed the music of Acappella and Vocal Union for many years. And for me Gary Miller was a great composer and singer of beautiful melodies inspired by God. Only today I discovered his death, I’m sad, but at the same time I am glad to have known the work of a man of God, who inspired many young people around the world!
We share your feelings, as he inspired us as well!
His song ‘Begins’ was one of his creations that helped me to stay close to God! Thank you Garry!
[...] that current and former members of the a capella group Vocal Union sang at their long-time leader, Gary Miller‘s, funeral. The words of this song perfectly describe the sentiments that we’re talking [...]
I didn’t know Mr. Miller personally so all I can say is that I really did admire his vocal range. Sometimes I wonder how come God gave all that note to one man. I’m glad he had the heart to keep it out of a contest though. I guess I’ll find time to go back and look at the songs written by him; “More” is my dad’s favorite. Which reminds me: when does the “Going Home” CD plan to step on Nigerian shores? I must admit your albums, this decade, are really getting scarce over here. Last decade, we had them on tape, but scarcely the series. A friend of mine said he saw everything in The Series on CD displayed in a shop very far away from where I stay. But he couldn’t afford it. How annoying (no cookie smileys or “frowneys” here?). I would’ve done almost anything to get ‘em (well, not exactly “anything” cos I wouldn’t steal. But I guess you know what I mean. Good!). The problem was that this was 10 or 11 years ago– I DIDN’T KNOW HIM PERSONALLY THEN!! So now HIS STORY belongs to our a cappella group’s HISTORY class. Sounds more like the “modal auxiliaries song” :I SHOULD have, COULD have, WOULD have. I guess I should “Check with Melissa@Acappella.com,” right? Well, I’m learning to have great gain –contentment especially with Godliness– so I’m not greatly in a hurry to get them. But I’d like to know who I could contact. However, on a serious note regarding going home (not the album this time), let’s make every effort not to sing the “modal auxiliary song” on that Day. I hope you reply soon cos I know you’re a very busy man.
